We have a serious no-brainer for you today: Zanzibar Cellars makes lush, silky Washington reds. They get great ratings in Wine Spectator, and we've featured them in our Big Reds Club.

And starting today, they are more than 50% off the release price - $24!
Now that's a no-brainer!

We've tried both wines recently and they are drinking beautifully.

Zanzibar Cellars Sandra 2006

Wine Spectator: Dense, dark and chewy, this is beautifully aromatic, showing impressive depth to its black cherry, pepper and bay leaf flavors, hinting at licorice as the finish sails on against well-modulated tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2010 through 2016. - H.S.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Syrah.

Owen Roe Ex Umbris Syrah 2009
$23.95 retail

Wine Spectator - "Supple and round, this red is layered with plum, currant, sassafras, cream and spice flavors that keep sailing through the long, vivid finish. This has style and grace to go with its undeniable power. Drink now through 2018."- H.S

Top 100 Alert: Ex Umbris 09 is a lock for Wine Spectator's Top 100 of 2011. The price, the score, the case production - I will eat an Ex Umbris label if it doesn't happen!

Ex Umbris is Owen Roe's best value red. I know, the Abbot's Table is popular but to me, the Ex Umbris really shines. It has tons of delicious, smoky Syrah character and is so easy to drink. - Marcus
