Lafazanis 2006 St. George (Peloponnese)

Best Buy

Price $14

Dark cherry, plum and clove lead on this enticing red from the Peloponnese. On the palate, a blend of dark chocolate, cherry and vanilla spice offers complexity and assertive flavor. Smooth but ageable, the wine’s peppery spice finish gives it an extra kick. — S.K. (12/15/2008)
