2010 Wine Guerrilla Monte Rosso Vineyard Zinfandel, Block E44, Sonoma Valley, CA, $40 (S) – Rating 90

A monster fruity Zinfandel with just the right touch of acidity for food pairing. It paired beautifully with a charcoal grilled flat-iron streak. A robust nose of black fruit, blackberry, plum and boysenberry with a hint of spice. Big flavors of black cherry, boysenberry, blackberry and dark spice with a soft tannin structure. Notes of espresso in the long finish. Give it about an hour to fully open. Buy This Wine

2012 Cass Winery Viognier, Estate Grown, Paso Robles, CA, $24 (S) – Rating 91

An excellent food pairing wine, crisp mouth-watering acidity with enough balance to enjoy solo. A fresh nose of citrus, tangerine and pineapple with just a hint of lime leading to a tantalizing flavor profile including citrus, pear , ripe pineapple and a note of honeycomb. The tiny kiss of sweetness on the finish balances the acidity. Buy This Wine

2011 Masút Vineyard and Winery Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir, Mendocino County, CA, $40 (S) – Rating 91

Named a “Wineries to watch in 2013” by the Press Democrat, this complex Pinot is one of the reasons why. Produced from Estate fruit, Dijon Pinot Noir clones 113, 115 and 777, aged 11 months in French oak (35% new) and bottled unfined and unfiltered. A charmingly rustic and briary nose of dark cherries is the prelude to deep flavors of dark cherry, ripe raspberry and notes of campfire smoke with hints of chocolate in the long finish.
