A fun stainless steel co-fermented blend of 50% Grenacia, 25% Syrah, 25% Carignane with a nose of ripe watermelon, bright cherry and floral notes. On the palate, the wine offers up a round mouth-feel with a bit of zippy acidity. Flavors of cherry, strawberry, raspberry and rhubarb are combined with a good dose of baking spice for a well balanced sipper. Available by the bottle or a 3 liter bag-in-box. Buy This Wine

2011 Belle Glos Pinot Noir Blanc, Brugion Vineyard, Sonoma County, CA, $18 (S) – Rating 91

Consistently great Pinot Noir Rose’ with plenty of body. Perfect with grilled salmon or as a sipper during an orange summer sunset. The nose offers scents of strawberry and cherry while the wine sports a robust mouth-feel with flavors of ripe strawberry, ripe cherry, cranberry, rhubarb and pie spice. There is nothing wimpy about this dry pink in your glass.

An excellent value blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a nose of dark cherry, plum and spice. From the glass, flavors of dark cherry, plum, cocoa, cola, soft spices and a touch of sweetness are complimented by very soft tannins. Great pizza or BBQ wine!
