2009 Wine Guerrilla Zinfandel, Clopton Vineyard, Russian River Valley, CA, $27 (S) – Rating 91

A voluptuous and buxom Zinfandel, rich with jammy flavors of blue berries and black/red fruit. Give this Wine Guerrilla beauty a little decanter time to show her spicy depth and complexity. Supple tannins add character to subtly integrated flavors of leather, smoke and old vine nuance. Texas smoked brisket (sans sauce) and grilled veggies made for an outstanding pairing.

2009 Bernardus Sauvignon Blanc, Monterey County, CA, $16 – Rating 90

Just delicious! Nice tropical flavors of ripe pineapple and Meyer lemon with vanilla crème. Rich and round mouth feel with a touch of minerality and acidity. Barrel aging adds a hint of the buttery without overpowering.

Rosé wine for summertime. OK, I’ll admit it’s not a perfect rhyme but this summer is the perfect time to break out the Rosé wines. No white Zins, here. These beauties are dry and rich with flavor. Do real men drink Rosé, you ask? Hell yes! This big Texas wine dude loves a chilled glass of pink, especially when I’m at the grill with my friends and the sun begins to slide behind the oak trees. These wines are a party on your palate.

2006 Yorba Zinfandel, Shake Ridge Vineyards, Amador County, CA $28 (S) – Rating 90

Like a shy girl, Yorba Zinfandel is a bit tight at first pour but opens into a beautifully structured and slightly complex wine. Dark rich flavors blackberry, raspberry, dark cherry, bramble and spice are complimented by supple tannins.
