L’Épiphanie de Pauillac

This glorious, age-worthy Bordeaux features the dense, deeply concentrated Cabernet of Pauillac and was crafted by one of the most famous estates in the world. Dark, rich, laced with black currant, cedar and cigar box notes, this gorgeous wine will only get better if you can bear to hide some away for a few years.

RedHeads Whip-Hand

Australia’s world-famous Barossa Valley is home to some of the world’s finest Cabs. This perennial favorite of customers and critics comes courtesy of RedHeads, one of the country’s most acclaimed wineries. It’s made with the finest winemaking techniques and top-of-the-line French oak barrels. It’s full of ripe red- and black-fruit notes, accented by spicy oak and minty overtones (a trademark of the region).

Le Fughe

Most Super Tuscan reds are a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet. But Carlo Vittori’s Cabernet from his family estate in Montalcino was so complex and downright delicious, he and his winemaking daughter Valeria decided to bottle it on its own. It’s been a classic for years now, with past releases beating out bottles that list for double more than its price.

Valoroso

Portugal’s Jaime Quendera (maker of the ‘Best Red Wine in the World’ at Vinalies in 2008) crafts this bold Cabernet Sauvignon. Boasting layers of ripe black fruit and peppery spice, it’s an absolute must-try for fans of rich, full-bodied reds.
