($16): Full disclosure:  I gave this wine extra points for value, because it would be hard to do better at the price.  It delivers a marvelous combination of black cherry-like fruitiness — not too much — and a slate-like minerality.  The winemaking team has resisted the temptation to over extract the flavors and tannins or mask them with oak.  The result is a classy wine at a fabulous price.  It would be perfect for drinking this fall and winter.
