Loved this South African blend (64% Shiraz, 15% Mourvèdre, 9% Petite Sirah, 9% Grenache, 3% Tannat). At 12 years old, this was drinking perfectly. Dark and concentrated in the glass, the nose was full on baking spices. The palate delivered bold dark red fruit, in a silky texture.

Our neighbors have a home in South Africa and are introducing us to some local wines that are delicious but sadly hard to find in the US - if anyone knows where to find this please drop me a line in the comments! This would be a superb every day drinker. — 7 years ago

You can tell this is a quintessential Bordeaux from a mile away. A solid backbone of fruit quickly gives way to tons of funky music - mushroom, olive, wet earth, and awesomeness. Medium-bodied; smooth. The finish is long, loamy, and mouth-puckering. A sleeper - this is seriously underrated. You can find it for around $20. Just got it at Costco. Stock up. — 8 years ago

New vintage just out. Stellar as always. More fruit-forward than the 2012, but still sharp, balanced and interesting. Blackberry and roasted meat nicely complimented by pepper and coffee notes. The finish is short, but memorable. $10 at Trader Joes. Stock up if you can find. — 10 years ago

Perfect with red pastas, sautéed crimini mushrooms, and even meaty pizzas. Because of the affordable price, I will probably stock up. I now understand why it is always sold out on this app. — 10 years ago

Probably my most favorite! Not inexpensive at restaurants ($65-$76), but pairs so well with just about anything. Year after year it is consistently great. It's hard not to share it, but then you must keep multiple bottles in stock! — 11 years ago

As a half Virginian, I try to stock up every vintage of the octagon, not only because of being the home pride, but also her quality year after year. This one is no exception. Color is different shades of purple, with mix of deep ruby. Nose is densely fragrant, with ripe cherry, sugarplum, dill and clove, nutty oaks, aldehyde, and some more dried strawberries. Taste shows another layer of complexity with tobacco leaves, milk chocolate, and some residual sweetness and subtle acidity. Oaky note follows. Tannins however is marginal. Aftertaste is some more chocolate with a bit mineral, and some more juicy grape sweetness with some touch of peppery flavors and acidity. I will not keep the vintage for long as she is quite peaked at the moment. — 7 years ago

One of the best of Morgon I've had. A classic I would always stock up to drink both young and to age. This 2014 was beautiful, bright acid, red fruits and a little rose. All natural. — 8 years ago
