Campo Maccione 2008, Morellino Di Scansano
Tuscany, Italy$13.95
Plenty of ripe red cherry fruit, with notes of dried fruit and fine acidity. In short, a real honest-to-goodness Sangiovese. No resorting to overripening the grapes or adding an oak sheen. Far more depth and structure than one would expect for such a modest price. Very fine value, worthy of multiple purchase. Tasted May 2012.

Tsantali Rapsani 2006
Greece$12.95
I hate to admit it, but I think that this may be the first Greek wine I have bought since I visited Crete in 1988. This red was a very pleasant surprise. Ripe bright red fruits with notes of spice. Quite approachable but enough stucture to keep it from being flabby. Good complexity and a solid finish. A very good wine and a great value at $12.95. I'll be picking up a few more bottles for summer bbqs. I certainly won't overlook the wines of Greece any more!

Château De Gourgazaud Cuvée Mathilde 2008, Ac Minervois
Languedoc, France$14.95
From the Minervois, this red is a blend of syrah and mourvedre. Slightyly tart blackberry fruit, backed up by plenty of herbs and spices and subtle notes of dried meat. Not particularly deep or complex, but true to its southern France origins and very satisfying. Purchased at a discounted $11.95 and represents a stellar value at that price. Tasted Nov 2011.
