TT,

Funny you should ask, this is the wine of the week from Wine Spectator's sips and tips: UNIÓN DE COSECHEROS DE LABASTIDA
Rioja Castillo Labastida Reserva 2001 (90 points, $19) "Fresh, firm and long. This balanced red offers crisp cherry, cola, vanilla, tobacco and fresh herb flavors, supported by well-integrated tannins that give way to a spicy, floral finish. Drink now through 2011. 15,000 cases made."

Also, K and L wine, http://www.KLWines.com are having a sale on the 2003 Columbia Crest Columbia Valley Reserve Cabernet Savignon. $16.99 This is an excellent Cab esp. for the price, great mouthfeel, integrated tannins, nice fruit. I have had this on numerous occassions this past fall, and bought many bottles as Christmas presents.

Tom you should be able to find it in your backyard!
