핀카 엘 오리헨 리저브 말벡

Poured a glass alongside a simple steak dinner and the bouquet of red fruits really opened up beautifully after a few minutes in the glass. For under $15, it's genuinely impressive that a critic's pick can taste this polished and complex.

The nose hits with dark red fruits right away, and it’s smooth enough to sip alone but bold enough to stand up to a steak. At this price, it drinks like something twice the cost, and the finish lingers just long enough to make you pour another glass.

For under fifteen bucks, the complexity here is unreal — I got intense red fruit notes with every sip. Picked it after seeing it was a critics' pick, and it definitely lives up to that.
