Here's a Chilean cabernet I had last night that is an unbelievable bargain at $11-12. Check out this Brit's review below:

"...(20 points) has upped its rating from 17.5 points on the website to a perfect 20. Though I toyed with giving it 18 or 19, it would be churlish to deny this magical liquid, so reasonably priced, top marks. It is a miracle and it is not even the producer's top-of-the-range cabernet. It has the length of richness on the tongue and in the back of the throat of a legendary Pauillac, yet also lusher gracefulness and lack of temperament (moodiness being a typical claret problem). The aroma is of poached plum and under-ripe cherry, a challenging and paradoxical effect. The mouth-feel offers crumpled velvet as the only metaphor. There's a touch of mocha to the berries and an explosion of cassis, albeit a restrained one. As it finishes, chocolate makes an appearance. It quits the throat like Gielgud leaving the stage."
