Price: $6.50 at Costco
Name: Bodegas Luzon 2007 - Syrah Blend

Writing on the back of the bottle:

Located 350 km southeast of Madrid, Luzon is a family owned winery which includes 90 hectares if vines. The vineyards are in the scenic valley of La Hoya de la Carrasca surrounded by low mountains. The warm days and cool nights typical of this region provide structure and balance to the grapes, together with the little rain and a very chalky, gravelly soil produces a red wine of intense color with violet hues and round, rich flavors of dark ripe fruit with hints of licorice mint.

This wine is currently listed as the number 1 best buy for 2008 in Wine Enthusiast.


Jenny and Tom's review: We love a bargain wine and can't remember the last time we bought a wine for under $10. After reading the December 2008 issue of Wine Enthusiast, we sought out the number one best buy for 2008. They had it listed as $9.00 but Costo sold it for a whopping $6.50. Honestly, we were thinking this wine isn't probably going to taste very good since it was only a 2007 and so cheap. But suprisely, we both really liked it. The wine remains powerfully fruity and spicy in the mouth, with a long, minty finish. We definetly agree it should be the number one best buy and feel it will improve with age, thus we are going back to Costo to buy a case. Any future visitors are welcomed to share a bottle of this wine with us.
