Yorba Wines has created a beautiful American-style Rioja (Tempranillo). Plenty of dark red fruit, raspberry, blackberry, plums, etc. A touch of chocolate and spice with soft tannins add depth and structure. Blending with 5% Graciano provides a splash of acidity and brightness.

Chatom Vineyards has created a rich Syrah without being overpowering. Flavors of dark cherry and black berries, a little smoke, oak and spice, balanced with soft tannins and a touch of earthy minerality. Consider as an alternative to a BBQ Zinfandel or just enjoy it by itself.

Whistling Dog Cellars continues to offer high value artistic wines at a reasonable price. Truly delicious with rich flavors of dark cherry and blueberry with hints of oaky toast, spice and leathery smoke. Well balanced soft tannins add to the beauty. Small production of only 200 cases…order while you can!

A true artisan Pinot Noir. Nunes Vineyards holds back just enough grapes from their respected vineyard to create fewer than 200 cases of wine under the name St. Rose Winery. A beautiful medium-bodied Pinot with complex elements of plum, blueberry, blackberry and spice complimented by a touch of toasty vanilla, light smoky fog and leather. Available by order only St. Rose Winery . Do yourself a favor.

Paul Dolan’s organic vineyards create a soft medium-bodied Zin that goes down with an easy smile. Brighter than many Zinfandels, it has enough jaminess to balance the dark cherry, peppery spice and tobacco flavors highlighted with a touch of saddle leather. Serve this wine at your next back yard BBQ.
