Great buys on sub $10 wines

I've been loading up on these bargains all under $10 bottle, listed in order of goodness. The BevMo deals are due to their current 5 cent sale where you get a 2nd bottle of select wines for $0.05. All of these have production of 30,000+ cases, except the first.

• Penley Estates 2007 Shiraz Hyland Coonwarra ($20 for 2 at BevM0; WS 90). Intense dark and red berry flavor with good acidity. Some minty and coffee notes. Nicely integrated, this tastes classy. Very good the first night; less good the second night but the herbal flavors come out, which can be interesting. Only 5000 cases imported. My score: 91.
• Sterling 2008 Chardonnay ($6 Costco with $2 discount; WS 88). Good ripe yellow fruit with toasted oak (I get a hint of Cheerios). A solid by at $8, so a super buy at $6. I got case. My score: 89.
• Paringa 2008 Shiraz South Australia ($12 for 2 at BevMo; WS 89). This is a rare wine under $12 that actually needs to breathe a good bit, as in overnight. The roughness and restraint disappears by the second night and it was still good the third night. Bold berry with some spice. Not as well integrated as the Penley's but still a very fine wine at $6. My score: 89.
• Brancott 2008 Sauvignon Blanc ($7.80 Costco; WS 89). A solid New Zealand SB at under $8 is getting very rare. It is a bit lighter than the best NZ SBs I'm used to. It has got interesting green peach, lime and guava flavors. Very dry. Not as good as I expected. My score: 87.
