($10, Vineyard Brands): The Perrin family consistently makes outstanding wine at their estate, Château Beaucastel, in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.  Their wines sold under the Perrin label represent their négociant business in which they buy newly made wines from others, blend, age and bottle them.  This easy-to-drink wine has plenty of intensity, juicy ripe fruitiness and lip-smacking acidity.  Thankfully not an overdone powerhouse, it’s polished and has unusual elegance for a simple Côte du Rhône. 89 Michael Apstein Jan 9, 2007
