When going over the list of wine reviewed for this month, the price category of $35 to $50 delivered the most bang for the money and left me with the most memorable impression. I first narrowed the list down to six; two from Australia, one each from Argentina, France, Italy and the US. And here his the three wines that made the final cut.
My top three enjoyed wines in October;
1-Chateau Haut-Marbuzet 2002, Saint-Estèphe, Bordeaux, France

Three elements came together which make this wine enjoyment a real memorable one. A mature wine which I think is drinking at its peek right now. Having my brothers family over for dinner and sharing this great bottle with them and finally pairing this wine with a great dish, Coq au Vin.
2-Elderton Ode to Lorraine Cabernet Sauvignon / Shiraz / Merlot 2008, Barossa Valley, Australia

A seriously good wine here with a lots of detail in both aromas and mouthfeel. Above all excellent balance and drink ability.
3-Caymus Vineyards Zinfandel 2007, Napa Valley, California, USA

This beautiful full body Zinfandel sure warm up my soul. A big, bold and beautiful wine.
