Puydeval Languedoc 2008 14.99/750 ml.
Here's another great value wine from Handpicked Selections (Dan Kravitz). Robert Parker's Wine Advocate rating is 90 points! David Schildknecht's tasting notes: "Lovers of Cabernet Franc – not to mention value – do not miss this 2008 Puydeval, blended with 28% Syrah and 10% Merlot grown near Carcasonne, and conceived and executed by ambitious oenologist-negociant Jeff Carrell! Machine oil, mulberry, and incense form an intense and striking aromatic display that leads to a rich, almost fat, 14% alcohol, yet positively bright palate, where resin-, cinnamon-, walnut oil, and mint-tinged dark chocolate and mulberries hang on for a surprisingly stubborn finish marked by piquant nuttiness and well-integrated bitterness. This is archetypal Cabernet Franc in character, implausibly rich, and ludicrously under-priced. Plan to enjoy it for at least the next three years, but make your move quickly, because only 2,800 cases (out of 10,000) were slated to reach American shores."

Renwood Sierra Foothills Zinfandel 2006 8.99/750 ml.
