TODAY'S FEATURED WINE

Lewis Perdue's Rating of Baron Philippe De Rothschild: Carmenere: Valle Central: : 2012: Chile

Among the best under-$10 wines so far this year. Deep, dark, rich mouth feel with currants, cocoa and cedar. A winner at $8.99 with the six-bottle discount at Safeway.

 REVIEW POLICY:

For winery tasting samples, gifts from friends or family or samplings at a party or event, review it truthfully, but only if I like it. If I have paid my own very-hard-earned money on a bottle, the gloves are off and it gets what it deserves ... whether perfect or puerile.
