Cape Heights Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 
WO Western Cape, South Africa $11.95 14.5% alcohol 
Aromas of piquant spice, red cherry/berry fruit and graphite roll easily from this South African Cab. There’s a tangy, lively wash of red currant and spiced black plum bathed in smoky, tarry notes on the palate and through the dry, mouth-watering finish and aftertaste. Mid weight with good mouth feel, it’s not at all shy, pairing well with grilled back ribs slathered in smoky barbecue sauce. (Vic Harradine)

Hahn Pinot Noir 2012 
California $18.95 (226555) 14.5% alcohol 
Red cherry and savory herb aromas herald a medium-bodied, nicely textured stream of sweet ripe fruit—mulberry, red plum and black currant—mingling with roasted herbs and beetroot. There’s good focus and form with a solid line of wonderful lip-smacking acidity, great balance and plenty of style and charm. It finishes as it entered, delectable and mouth-watering. This is a user-friendly Pinot for sipping or pairing with roast fowl, pork or veal. (Vic Harradine)

Laurent Miquel Chardonnay 2012 
IGP Pays d’Oc, France $11.95 (157909) 13.0% alcohol 
Lively, lovely aromas of tropical fruit, floral notes and whiffs of citrus introduce a balanced wash of ripe apple, pear and pineapple. This is crisp, dry and mouth-watering delicious. It’s nicely textured and delivers a lip-smacking finish of lemony tang. Good to sip on its own, it pours and pairs well with lighter-styled appetizers, seafood or roast chicken. (Vic Harradine)
