Red Wine by Annie's Lane from Clare Valley, Australia. The Copper Trail Shiraz Grenache Mourvedre is made with a minimal intervention approach, retaining and enhancing the natural expression of the fruit. The wine has aromas of blackcurrant and licorice with a hint of cinnamon, enhanced by subtle use of oak. Warm spice tones and a long velvety finish characterize the full, soft, and rich palate. This savory style of wine is the perfect complement to richly flavored food. Ruby red. Suave, powerful aromas of blackberry, kirsch, roasted coffee and licorice candy. Lush and smooth in texture, offering concentrated, well-defined flavors of dark and red berry liqueur, cured tobacco and dark chocolate, with harmonious oak spice notes adding sweetness and complexity. Lovely stuff, with impressive richness but also energy and brightness. Finishes with supple tannins and excellent length. -International Wine Cellar

Red Wine by Bonny Doon from Central Coast, California. A little bit of a stylistic departure for Bonny Doon. Since I have been hanging out with Patrick Ducournau, I have learned the mantra: I will fear no tannin. Cigare has always been fruit-driven (in the Australian parlance) and usually has had the soft, plush texture of the upholstery one finds in a vintage Citro?n. We have upped the ante and given the wine a little more grip, more conjones, if you will. I think that in doing so, we have enchanced this Cigares ability to age. Varietal composition: 34% Grenache, 33% Syrah, 27% Mourvedre, 2% Viognier, 2% Cinsault and 2% Carignane.

Red Wine by Can Blau from Spain. Can Blau is from the mixed soils of slate, sandy clay and chalk of Montsant which is a horseshoe-shaped appellation that surrounds the D.O. Priorat on three sides. Cari?ena, Syrah, Garnacha blend Classic raspberry and black cherry bouquet and flavors.

Red Wine by Capcanes from Spain. The 2004 Mas Donis Barrica is 85% Garnacha from 80+-year-old vines and 15% Syrah aged for 8 months in French and American oak. Opaque purple, it has a wonderfully expressive nose of spice box, pencil lead, pepper, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. On the palate the wine is full-bodied with layers of ripe, spicy black fruits, nicely concealed tannins, and a long, pure finish. It is an outstanding value for drinking now and over the next 4-6 years. -Wine Advocate

1 cent shipping through June 15th. Details at wine.comRed Wine by Celler Marti Fabra from Spain. The compelling 2003 Masia Carreras is a blend of primarily Grenache and Carignan with tiny dollops of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. The Grenache and Carignan come from 50- to 80-year-old vineyards. The wine was aged 18 months in French oak prior to being bottled unfined and unfiltered. A great expression of the appellation, it reveals terrific minerality along with wonderfully projected, even flamboyant sweet red and black fruits interwoven with notions of flowers and graphite. Deep purple-hued, rich, full-bodied, stunningly pure, and well-textured, this beauty can be drunk over the next 10-12 years. -Wine Advocate

Red Wine by Chapoutier from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, France - Rhone. Chateauneuf-du-Pape is known for its amazing soil of large rolled stones which laid on the bed of the Rhone river in ancient times.

At such low yields, Michael Chapoutier produces a rich, flavorful wine with moderate tannins. Color: Rich red Aroma: Complex aromas of currant, plum, coffee, cinnamon, cherry and spice. Taste: Peppery flavors with nuances of sage, rosemary and red fruit.

Red Wine by Cuvee Mythique from Languedoc-Roussillon, France - regions. Beautiful strong purple color tinged with violet. The nose, associating aromas of black cherry and a touch of cacao, follows on when decanted with a suggestion of roast chestnuts. There is good length to the wine which is full and really luscious, with assertive but well-ripened tannins. Aromas of spice and plum mark an engaging finish. La Cuvee Mythique's distinctive label pays homage to the Romans, who planted its' varietals in France, and who believed the owl, la chouette, possessed mythical powers. La Cuvee Mythique was created by the Val d'Orbieu in 1990 to assert the incredible potential of the terroirs of the Languedoc-Roussillon.

Red Wine by d'Arenberg from McLaren Vale, Australia. In its youth, d'Arenberg's The Ironstone Pressings has a deep, dark plum-purple color matched by just as intense black cherry, spice, plum, strawberry, a little liquorice and brooding blackcurrant aromas. Mulberry, ripe plum and fresh pepper dominate the rich full-bodied palate before a long, intense, rolling, dark cherry spice and gritty tannin finish. Eventually, the Grenache and Shiraz blossom as rich, sweet, violet-like scents, with spicy based aroma, before malty, sweet, dark chocolate flavors and crunchy, chewy textured black olive, spicy ginger and long fleshy textures. The Mourvedre adds dried herbs and iodine characters, which are very persistent, matched with slightly chalky tannins. The hallmark of vigorous, fine piquant tannin and acidity continue to reside with The Ironstone Pressings after some considerable time, as have previous vintages since the late 1950's.

Red Wine by d'Arenberg from McLaren Vale, Australia. The Osborns are proud to release The Stump Jump range of premium McLaren Vale wines, named after the region's old vineyards which were originally cleared using the Stump Jump plough. This South Australian invention enabled the ploughshare to jump over the gnarled mallee Eucalypt roots, saving valuable time and resources. The 2006 vintage was one of the most condensed vintages experienced at d'Arenberg and one of the best ever. After a dry winter, heavy rains in spring allowed for consistent flowering and veraison with almost no interruptions. Eventually, warmer conditions prevailed which was ideal for enhancing fragrance and producing wonderful levels of natural acidity and flavor intensity. The 2006 Stump Jump Red is bright red in appearance with an aromatic nose of ripe, juicy red fruits, dominated with cranberries and loganberries, spice, cardamom, green pepper and a hint of earthy herbal notes. The palate is rich and ripe with mulberries, plums, white chocolate, and spices balanced by ripe tannins. The finish is soft and balanced with savory edges and lively acidity. A pleasure to drink now or cellar over the next 3-5 years.

Red Wine by Delas from Cotes du Rhone, France - Rhone. The Cotes-du-Rhone Saint Esprit is made from a blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Carignan grapes, which come from a small village in the Ardeche region. The vineyard's southern exposure on steep granite hillsides provides the best growing conditions for the vines. The Cuvee Saint Esprit shows the strength and a pepper taste typical of the Syrah grape. The color is deep garnet red and has intense red berry aromas. It is an exceptional full-bodied wine with fine tannins.

Red Wine by Dom. de Beaurenard from Rasteau, France - Rhone. Blend: 80% Grenache, 20% Syrah This wine, using grapes from a selection of the finest slopes and narrow terraces of the famous terroir of Rasteau, is very concentrated and has an appealingly forceful personality. Besides aromas of very ripe fruits, it generally offers spicy notes and scrubland scents typical to this terroir. A fine tannic structure from the outset, very much in the Beaurenard style: this is a wine of great character, elegant and well-balanced. Pairs well with mushrooms and rabbit dishes.

Red Wine by Dom. de Beaurenard from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, France - Rhone. 70% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre, and 10% Cinsault and other AOC varieties. Lovely pure beam of red currant and red cherry fruit supported by hot stone and mineral notes. Hint of tobacco on the minerally finish. Should flesh out nicely in the near-term. Best from 2007 through 2017. -Wine Spectator

Red Wine by Dom. de Beaurenard from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, France - Rhone. Parcels of old vines 60-100 years in age, planted in soils of great character and complexity, provide the grapes for this wine. They are picked when fully mature and meticulously sorted by hand to further enhance concentration. These old parcels, in which different varieties are planted together, embody the symphony of 13 varieties, though Grenache predominates. The 2004 Boisrenard, their luxury cuvee, always shows some evidence of new oak barrique but doesn't lose its Chateauneuf du Pape soul. In most vintages it is a very long-lived wine, as the 1990 is just now hitting its stride. This is the more up-front style in 2004 with plenty of sexy, chocolatey pain grille notes interwoven with blackberry and cassis. It is layered, opulent, fleshy, and already very drinkable. Its medium to full body and lushness suggest drinking it over the next 8-10 years. Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate 90 Points
