Three Wine Deals To Grab Now
DON’T MISS THESE JONES IS THIRSTY-APPROVED GEMS:
• 2015 Viña Los Vascos, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chile $8 at Costco
(Decanter 90 pt., One of my top picks for Cabs under $15. Even if you don’t live near a Costco, it’s a deal at $15! Better still, Los Vascos is the Chilean outpost for the famed Domaines Barons de Rothschild, so there’s real winemaking muscle in the bottle.)
• 2015, Bodega Piedra Negro, Malbec, Argentina $13
(JS 93 pt., This hefty red is super-drinkable with tons of fruit and a touch of smokiness. A real value from the Uco Valley, which is basically the Napa Valley of Mendoza. Cool nights and warm days produce a rich red with plenty of acidity.)
• 2015, Pazo Cilleiro, Albariño, Spain $12
(W&S 92 pt., You’ve heard me rave about Albariño at tastings—it’s one of my favorite, off-the-beaten path white wines. I’ve written about Burgans in the past, and this offering from Pazo Cilleiro is another to add to this list. This lip-smacking, medium-bodied Spanish gem is perfect alongside everything from spicy Asian noodle salad to crab cakes.)
