Rioja Bordon Reserva 2015 – $19.95 – #194573

A blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha (grenache) and Mazuelo, this delicious and elegant expression of Rioja brims with cherries, plum, toffee, chocolate and cedar, singing of its Rioja home. Have a good siesta then break out the jamon (ham) and Manchego, or fire up the grill for lamb cutlets, chorizo sausages and grilled red pepper.

Erasmo 2015 – $19.95 – #311837

When not working on the next vintage of Brunello at Col d’Orcia, Count Cinzano of Montalcino is thinking about his vineyards on the other side of the world. The vines that create Erasmo were planted deep in the Maule valley nearly 30 years ago and show their pedigree in every sip. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah are seamlessly blended and aged to finish in elegance and power. A wine that will match your grilling savvy now, or your patience in the cellar.

Roberto Sarotto Langhe Nebbiolo ‘Nativo’ 2019 – $19.95 – #22793

Langhe Nebbiolo at this price is a rare find, let alone one that tasted this good. A brick red rim and ruby core release intense aromas of small red berries , sweet spices and tar notes. The tannins are built to match all your favorite red meat dishes, but going for lamb or game meats will yield additional rewards. Wild boar sausage anyone?
