Bella's Garden Shiraz |
Earl Grey tea, thyme and fresh loamy notes are wonderfully dense and show off white pepper, licorice and juicy black cherry flavors at the core of this red. Terrific verve and harmony on the long finish. Drink now through 2040. 6,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported. |

Smooth and polished, but still dense and concentrated, with spiced plum, red fruit and heavy licorice and fennel seed nuances, plus Earl Grey tea, dried floral and fresh loamy details. Harmonious and focused on the long finish. Drink now through 2029. 2,000 cases made. |

Dancing Crow Vineyards |
Sauvignon Blanc Big Valley District Lake County |
Love the Sauvignon Blanc typicity found in this expression with classic aromas and flavors of lemon, lime, green apple, chamomile blossom, wet stone minerality, cut grass and green capsicum, the latter of which gives it an appetizing quality. Enjoy this wine on its own or—my personal recommendation—with Hawaiian pizza. Best Buy. |

Pacific Redwood |
Cabernet Sauvignon North Coast |
This is an extremely fun, engaging, drink-me-now Cabernet Sauvignon with modest (13.7%) alcohol and a gentle sandy tannic texture. Notes of black cherry, blackberry, black currant, violet, fresh fennel, damp forest floor and hints of cacao and vanilla lead to a clean, medium-length finish. Added bonus: the consumer-friendly price tag. Best Buy. |

Rose |
An enticing perfume of strawberries and cream, peach and orange blossom billows from the glass. The palate is mostly dry but with a slight bit of sweetness. There’s a creamy texture and oodles of ripe raspberry flavor to the finish. Drink now well chilled. Best Buy. |

Deep blush-colored, this wine has a nose of nectarine, strawberry and dried thyme. Nectarine and strawberry transition to the palate alongside Valencia orange and rose petal flavors. Smooth mouthfeel, moderate acidity and a bright finish make for a nice pour. Best Buy. |
