A fun bright value wine with a nose of citrus and ripe pineapple. An easy sipper of predominately citrus and tropical flavors with hints of peach and minerality with tangy acidity.
Garnet colored, this Pinot from Raptor Ridge offers a rich nose of cherry with leather undertones. Medium-bodied with a palate of cherry, plum and light spice. Soft to the mouth with good acidity and supple tannins but a short finish. Opens over time. All in all – pretty darn nice
Pull up a chair on the sun drenched patio for this Pedroncelli Winery Sauv. Blanc. A bright citrusy nose of lemon-lime. Soft in the mouth offering flavors of tangy lemon, honeysuckle, tropicals and Meyer lemon combined with a little minerality and zippy acidity. Should pair well with lighter summer fare.
An impressive American Sangiovese from Desert Wind Winery. Blended with a 5% stew of Cabernet, Merlot and Barbera, the bright nose offers strawberry, spice and cherry. Flavors of ripe dark cherry, strawberry and little spice enhanced by soft tannins, make this a very easy drinking departure from the ordinary red wine.
A super-value blend at $18 but can be found for as little as $12. A great go-to wine blended of 50% Petite Sirah, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah and 10% Zinfandel.. Very drinkable upon opening. Expect a nose of spicy black cherry pie. The flavor profile pulls from the best of the varietals used with flavors of black cherry, blackberries, black fruit, a hint of sweetness, pipe tobacco, spice box with silky tannins. Have plenty on hand for that BBQ patio party.
