Haut Cabirou 2004 - £7.39
Price on from Laithwaites.
Haut-Cabirou is the kind of red everyone loves - warming, gorgeously smooth and brooding with 15% alcohol. The previous vintage scooped Gold in its own back yard plus a coveted Seal of Approval in London ... now you can secure your share of the latest release ... at a cracking low price. It comes from the village of Maury, high up in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Their most famous wine is a fortified, sweet red made just like traditional Port. A few years back, our buyers visited the cellar and were offered an unfortified glassful, straight from the barrel. And what a glassful! So warming and smooth we snapped it up there and then! Succulent Grenache from ancient, high altitude vineyards. Seductive red berry aromas and masses of deep plum and cassis flavours. A deft touch of spicy oak too - enjoy with char-grilled steak or ratatouille.

The Black Stump Durif Shiraz - £44.34
Price on from Laithwaites.
Australia's most addictive velvety red returns ... and the new 2007 vintage is guaranteed to delight more than ever! That's because the drought affected the berry size, resulting in small berries of intense flavour which pushed concentration to levels we never thought possible. This is a wine with 'wow'! The Black Stump is handcrafted by John Casella, who practises his 'dark art' behind closed doors at his family's remote estate. The wine owes its name to an Aussie expression meaning 'the back of beyond', but its remote origins has not stopped it from winning medals at prestigious competitions around the world. Its secret is dark, captivatingly smooth Durif, a rare grape (''that takes no prisoners'' The Observer), used as a 'turbocharge' to add inky-black fruit to other reds. Here, it's partnered perfectly with another big Aussie red grape, spicy Shiraz. Deep purple hue. Black, brambly Durif given a spicy, blueberry edge by dark chocolate Shiraz and sweet oak. Velvety, voluptuous, and irresistible served in large glasses with char-grilled steak or Sunday roasts.

Pagos de Tahola Oak Aged Rioja 2005 - £7.99
Price on from Laithwaites.
Rioja fans have been doubly blessed. Following on the heels of 2004, the 2005 vintage also earned the highest possible rating from the region's official governing body ... and Pagos de Tahola's smooth, supple release is 5-star quality indeed. Hardly surprising given the Chavarri family have 122 years of expertise, use only the best Tempranillo from their prime vineyard high in the Alavesa (famed for more classic flavours than the lower Rioja Baja) and the wine has been aged in expensive American oak barrels for that soft, sweet-oak finish. Graceful aromas of crushed black cherry, prune and tobacco leaf before a satin-textured mouthful of redcurrant and dark plums with a sweet-oaky, moreish finish. A smooth treat ideal with roasted red meats and mature cheeses.

Dezzani Malvasia - £8.59
Price on from Laithwaites.
This unique, lightly sparkling sweet red is a speciality from Northern Italian's Piedmont loved by the wine press as a really delicious taste experience. Malvasia Don Bosco is a great summer wine that's low in alcohol, so you don't need to worry so much about a sore head, and a real talking point with friends. This family-made gem comes from grapes left longer on the vine to gain natural sweetness and then hand-harvested to preserve the flavours. ''Spritzy, grapey and sweet - yet wonderfully crisp and light.''

Domain Saint Orban Merlot 2006 - £6.29
Price on from Laithwaites.
This sumptuous red is named in honour of Saint Orban - a pope who was martyred in AD 230 and is the patron saint of vine growers, protecting the fruit from frost. And he certainly seems to have been looking particularly favourably on this vintage! In 2006, a late, sun-soaked Summer and early Autumn provided perfect conditions for grapes to flourish. The cellar, built in 1820, proves with this flavour-packed gem that Hungary (so long an insider's tip) is producing serious reds that exhibit a claret-like elegance, but for a fraction of the price! Aromatic and concentrated with bags of lovely bright red fruit flavours and sumptuous, sweet tannins. Delicious with lamb chops and rosemary. Comes with our highest recommendation!

Colina de Piatra Alba Pinot Noir 2006 - £6.55
Price on from Laithwaites.
Haunting, elegant, silky, seductive, 'sexy' even ... just a few of the evocative words used to describe great Pinot Noir. We say the best way to understand Pinot is to get it in your biggest glass and savour every soft, succulent mouthful. Why not start with this elegant beauty from Romania. You may be surprised to learn that this far-flung European country has ''what could be some of Europe's greatest cool-climate vineyards.'' (Hugh Johnson's Wine Companion). Pale brick red with pronounced aromas of strawberries and sweet spice. Gently mouthfilling flavours and supple tannins with a long, pure red berry fruit finish.

Feudo Di Maria Merlot 2006 - £7.39
Price on from Laithwaites.
Where once Sicily was only known for sweet, sticky Marsala, today it is a hothouse of winemaking innovation producing some of the biggest and best bargains in all of Italy. And that's saying something! As Hugh Johnson notes in his classic reference 'The World Atlas of Wine', ''the advent of Sicilian table wine has been spectacular'' The Di Marias have a long history of winemaking but are definitely not hidebound by tradition. Since 2000 they have teamed up with fellow local experts the Biscardo family in order to produce very high quality Sicilian wines. This lovely silky-smooth Merlot is as fine as any from Bordeaux AOC but with the added Mediterranean warmth and charm. Black cherry and plum bouquet. Smooth and very mouthfilling plum flavours and more than a hint of black liquorice, sweet spice and minerals. Match with char-grilled red meats or hearty casseroles.
