5. Yellow Tail Reserve Shiraz (Australia) $8
Looking for a good, value-conscious Shiraz? The Yellow Tail Reserve Shiraz fits that bill and more. From the bright berry fruit - largely black cherry and blackberry playing in peppery spice, to the mocha character and decent tannin structure, this red from Down Under brings big fruit and solid value from the get go.
6. Chateau Ste. Michelle Columbia Valley Riesling (WA) $9
Chateau Ste. Michelle
As one of America's most popular Rieslings in the value-wine market, this off-dry Riesling brings plenty of sweet peach and lemon-lime nuances to the glass. A favorite for taming the hot spice of Thai or other hot Asian fare, this well-priced Riesling is equally refreshing on its own.
7. Robert Mondavi Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (CA) $10
This is a yummy value-driven California Cab, bringing plenty of dark cherry, plum and blackberry fruit to the table. The Mondavi Private Selection tier focuses on fruit-forward, approachable wines that make their mark as "everyday" wines for dinner or impromptu gatherings. This one is delicious with milk chocolate!
8. Clos du Bois Chardonnay CA) $10
Clos du Bois is a terrific everyday white wine with full-flavor and full-body. The fruit structure leans heavily towards green apple and Bosc pear, with a creamy texture and buttery character. Although this wine only makes the $10 mark when you find it on sale, it is a staple when it comes to consistent Chardonnay at a very reasonable price.
9. Rancho Zabaco Dancing Bull Zinfandel (CA) $9
Made for today, this friendly Zin is ready to rock with its cherry, raspberry and blackberry components, a dash of pepper and medium-bodied style.
