Ray Isle, Senior Wine Editor for Food & Wine magazine, offers these picks of good quality wines at low prices. They are from article by Richard Nalley in the February 2007 issue of the magazine.
2006 Santa Isabel Torrontés: Santa Isabel is a lower-priced line from Argentina's respected Bodegas Nieto Senetiner. This white is not aged in oak to preserve its crisp, spicy mix of anise, peach and tropical fruit. $7.
2004 Veramonte Merlot Reserva: This supple, juicy Merlot gets structure from a portion of Cabernet. From Chile's Huneeus family and California's Napa Valley (Quintessa). $10.
2005 D'Arenberg The Stump Jump: This red from maverick Australian winemaker Chester Osborn is a blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre. Its aroma and flavor are reminiscent of crushed dark berries. $10.
