La Vieille Ferme Cotes Du Ventoux Rouge 2009 6.99/750 ml.
Robert Parker says: "As shrewd consumers know, one of the best values in under $10 a bottle wine is La Vieille Ferme. La Vieille Ferme Cotes du Ventoux red exhibits excellent ripeness as well as plenty of cherry fruit intermixed with hints of dusty, earthy, peppery notes. Round and delicious, it, too, should be drunk during it’s first year of life." This is the value label from the Perrin family, makers of Chateau Beaucastel. Note we are WAY under $10, so stock up while it is in store! (2008 vintage shown, but 2009 is in stock now.)

BV Tapestry Napa Valley Reserve 2006 32.99/750 ml.
Robert Parker himself tasted and rated this one 93 points, with an estimated price of $50. Parker says, "The 2006 Proprietary Red Wine Tapestry Reserve (a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot) is the finest example of this cuvee I have ever tasted. Flowery, licorice-infused, cassis notes intermixed with forest floor and lead pencil shavings are followed by a layered, impressively built wine with real opulence, lots of red and black fruits, low acidity, and lush tannin. It should drink well for 15+ years. One of the most dramatic revelations in my California North Coast tastings was the resurrection/renaissance of Beaulieu Vineyard, one of the historic names in California winedom. Michel Rolland, the brilliant wine consultant, was brought in to help resurrect the Private Reserve program, and it appears his magic has spilled over onto the other wines as well." At this price, do not hesitate. Quantity limited.
