Cuvée de Peña 2009
This blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan from southern France offers such great value that you really need to pick up at least a few bottles. It's offers a combination of lush fruit, complexity, and balance, and is a refreshingly honest bottle of wine. You'll regret not having grabbed more of this when you are on your last bottle. And we're not the only people who think so, just check out this gushing 90 point review from The Wine Advocate:
"The as usual Carignan-based red 2009 Cuvee de Pena is simply the finest of its illustrious bargain-priced breed that I have tasted (and I go back 20 years with this cuvee and its predecessor), which also makes it a mind-boggling value! Clean and polished, concentrated but unexaggerated, this delivers sweet fruit with soil and soul. Ripe cherry, black raspberry, and purple plum are shadowed by their distilled counterparts in a high-toned nose and practically gush on the palate. Pungent, resinous herbs, smoky black tea, toasted pecan, brown spices, and crushed stone all serve for aromatic and gustatory interest, leading to a brightly juicy yet deeply rich finish. Buy it by the case, or buy it by the bag-in-box; delight and - if you dare reveal its price - amaze your guests over at least the next couple of years, though quite possibly longer. (And we wine snobs need to stick this into some blind tastings to put quality-price rapport into perspective, and perhaps some prejudices to rest.)"
