Angove Bear Crossing Cabernet-Merlot - $10.95
Style: R3
Australia
Here's another entry in the "cute animal" arena. However, this wine doesn't need a cuddly label to be yummy. Rich ruby red, it shows delicate aromas of spice, dark fruits, plums, and a touch of vanilla at the close. Quite crisp with firm-but-yielding tannins, and flavours of plum and vanilla, closing with a hint of sweetness. Quite full, with very good length. Would do well alongside chili, grilled tuna or mushroom sauce. (LCBO 592766)

My Wine of the Week is selected on the basis of "bang for the buck." I look for wines that offer good, every day value. My picks are loosely based around a $12-$15 ceiling, and must be readily available.

Cute labels are a plus if you are bringing a bottle to a party. This one has the looks, and the taste is pretty good too. Smooth, with a fair amount of complexity. We enjoyed it, and will try it again.
The blog looks great. Hope to see some of your readers' comments.
