Recycle Bin

Santa Martina Rosso 2005
40% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot, 20% Cabernet, and 20% Syrah. An Italian everyday wine under $10 and packed with flavor.

Rombauer Vineyards Merlot 2004
One of two of the best Merlot I've ever tasted and under $30. All I can remember now is rich chocolate.

Tilenus Pagos de Posada 2000
A Spanish red, 100% mencia, but for under $20 it tasted like it costs over $50 -- toasty like cocoa.

2000 Domaine de la Charbonniere Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Mourre des Perdrix
Robert Parker gives it 90 points. It's a mouthful of a wine both in name and taste. A $50+ bottle but truly worth it. Excellent mouth feel, juicy fruit flavors, encompassed in a beautiful aroma.

Southern Eclipse Pinot Noir 2006
The best Pinot you will find for under $20 and it's not from Napa. This New Zealand wine is full of life, rich with fruit, dark and smooth.
