5 Great 90+ Wines Under $20

Most of you who are familiar with wine know that a wine given a point score of 90 or higher means it is a wine of excellent quality. The good news is that a high point score doesn't necessarily mean a higher price. There are some excellent 90+ point wines that sell for under $20. The really good news is that all these wines aren't hard to find. Most liquor stores with a fair to decent selection are bound to have at least a couple of the wines listed below.

1. Monte Montepulciano D'abruzzo 2005 - 90 points Robert Parker The Wine Advocate - Full bodied, deep purple color (5% sangiovese in the blend). $15.99-$17.99.

2. 2004 Cicchitti Gran Reserva - 92 points Jay Miller The Wine Advocate - Another purple colored wine, thick and sweet. Fermented 12 months in French and American oak. $14.98-$19.99.

3. 2005 Les Verrieres De Montagnac Clos Des Soutyeres Coteaux Du - 90 points Wine Spectator - A very nice after dinner wine. Subtle hint of dark chocolate and espresso. $16.98-$19.99.

4. Bernhard Eifel Max E Riesling 2007 - A crisp, fruity riesling with just a pinch of sugar. Outstanding flavor. $12.98-$17.99

5. Chateau Pesquie Les Terrasses 2007 - 91 points Robert Parker The Wine Advocate - The last one on the list is an incredible bargain. This custom cuvee was made for importer Eric Solomon. It combines a 60 year- old Grenache with a 30 year-old Syrah, part aged in small barrels and in foudre and tank. The result is a wine reddish purple in color that delivers tremendous flavor and body. Combine with its low price this makes for an exceptional value. $9.98-$14.99.

Five great wines at a great price. Please give them a try and let me know what you think.
