Vina Altair Sideral Rapel Valley 2007 (WS87, $24.99, SKU 198077) This was recommended to me by a fellow wine lover. He mentioned that a Cabernet/ Carmenere/ Syrah/ Cabernet Franc blend aged in French oak barrels at such a price is unbeatable bargain. Two separate tasting panels of friends both liked this wine. When first opened, the nose is very pleasant with a hint of smoke. Without much decanting, the taste was definitely sweet. It went well with grilled lamb and chicken and also with grapes and cheeses. Don’t let the WS rating fool you, this is one easy drinking wine that would please most people. This would be a wine you should stock up and open a bottle whenever your friends drop in for dinner. There is stock at 39th as well as the Alberni store.
