Catena Zapata - Gayot.com	Catena Alta Chardonnay	2015		Apr-2019
Review “When thinking about New World Chardonnay, Argentina is not the first country that jumps to mind. However, this wine will make you think it should! A full-bodied wine, its flavors unfold in layers. There’s crisp apple, apricot and tingling citrus acidity to give it freshness. Best of all, it finishes with an austere minerality that will make you think of Burgundy, not South America. It’s truly a remarkable wine for the price.”
Tarapacá - Gayot.com	Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon	2016		Mar-2019
Review “If you think you can’t find good Cabernet Sauvignon for under $20, this will be the wine to change your mind. This Chilean wine makes our list of the Best Cabernets because it is one of the best values the Americas has to offer. A rich and earthy wine, its aromas are complex but dominated by black plum and spices. It’s juicy on the palate with round tannins, cherry and plum flavor and tobacco and vegetal notes on the finish.”
Juvé & Camps - Gayot.com	Brut Rosé	N/V		Nov-2018
Review “Juvé & Camps is a family-owned winery recognized for producing good-value Cavas. They make their wines using the méthode champenoise and age the wines in the bottle for as much as 24 months — astounding when you consider the price! For those who like a sparkling wine with weight to it, the Brut Rosé is an excellent choice for under $20. It’s made from 100% estate Pinot Noir. The wine’s glowing ruby color is the first hint this is a Cava with big body. On the nose it offers notes of cherry, candied rose petal and a hint of cocoa. On the palate, it feels like a red wine with good weight on the mid palate and a gamey note on the finish.”
Jansz Tasmania - Gayot.com	Jansz Tasmania Premium Cuvée	N/V		Nov-2018
Review "Many wine lovers are surprised to learn that Tasmania has a vibrant sparkling wine industry. There’s a microclimate in the island state’s northeast that offers ideal growing conditions for making sparkling wines. Jansz is not only one of the best but also the first Tasmanian winery to make sparkling wines in the méthode champenoise style. We’ve selected the Premium Cuvée for our Best Value Sparking Wines list because of its approachability. This is a wine everyone can appreciate and a style that’s great with breakfast, as an apéritif or with a meal. It would even work with a light dessert! It offers citrus blossom aromas and an intriguing note of nougat on the palate for a very interesting and approachable flavor profile."
Leclerc Briant - Gayot.com	Champagne Brut Rosé	N/V		Nov-2018
Review “This biodynamic brut rosé presents a salmon pink color with a multitude of tiny bubbles. Aromas of orange, cherry and apricot fill the nose and lead to a creamy mouthfeel with tropical fruit flavors and a touch of baking spices.”
Vitiano - Gayot.com	Rosato Umbria IGT	2013		Aug-2014
Review “Founded by brothers Renzo and Riccardo Cotarella, owners of famed Italian winery Falesco, Vitiano was established in 1995 to further their desire to blend native Italian grapes with international varietals. Made of 30 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 percent Merlot, 30 percent Sangiovese and 10 percent Aleatico, this wine boasts fruity aromas of plums and strawberries with notes of rose. More robust than a typical rosé, it pairs perfectly with fatty beef charcuterie like steak tartare.” (13.5 out of 20 points)
Mastroberardino - Gayot.com	Lacrimarosa Campania IGT	2013		Jun-2014
Review “Meaning ‘pink tear’ in Italian, Lacrimarosa is made from Aglianico grapes. Featuring floral and fruity aromas on the nose, it reveals raspberry, red currant and strawberry flavors with a hint of honey in the mouth. A little residual sugar makes this rosé an apt pairing for spicier foods.”
Valle Reale - Gayot.com	Cerasuolo Montepulciano d’Abruzzo (Organic Grapes) DOC	2013		May-2014
Review “Cerasuolo (meaning ‘cherry red’) describes not only the color of the USDA-certified organic Montepulciano d'Abruzzo grapes from which this rosé is made, but also its aromas and flavors.”
Los Dos - Gayot.com	Los Dos Red	2011		Mar-2014
Review “Composed of 85 percent Grenache and 15 percent Syrah, this full-bodied red wine offers concentrated dark fruit flavors with earthy notes.”
- Gayot.com	Giovanni Allegrini Recioto della Valpolicella DOC	2009		Jan-2014
Review “Composed of 80 percent Corvina Veronese, 15 percent Rondinella and 5 percent Oseleta, this rich dessert wine features intense flavors of plum, fig and mocha.” (15.5 out of 20 points)
