2010 Chateau la Pigotte ‘Terre Feu’: A 50/50 blend of cabernet and merlot, this Bordeaux might seem young, but is ready to drink now. Lots of red and black berry fruit, clove, cinnamon and leather aspects, make this wine a screaming—and deliciou—success.
Region: Bordeaux, France.
Price: $15.
Goes with: Rack of lamb, braised chicken.
Why I chose it: The famed Médoc on the left bank of Bordeaux, has recently blessed the world with more and more value-oriented wines of quality. This is a fine example of a wine that drinks comparatively to wines twice its price. And you don’t have to age it for decades to enjoy thanks to its high percentage of softer, younger aging Merlot.
