Garnacha 'Cepa por Cepa' |
This deep-ruby-colored wine has a nose of cassis, black cherry, clove and black pepper. Silky tannins play backup to black-currant, Mission fig, dark-chocolate and baking-spice flavors, with a hint of mint that lingers into the bright finish. Best Buy. |

Garnacha 'El Chaparral de Vega Sindoa' |
Dark ruby in the glass, this wine offers aromas of raspberry, cassis and black-olive tapenade. Black and red fruit takes hold of the palate at first sip, joined shortly by dark chocolate, dried Mediterranean herb and eucalyptus flavors. As fruit flavors peel away, velvety tannins coat the palate and linger there. Best Buy. |

Cabernet Sauvignon El Dorado |
There’s an approachable complexity to this Cabernet Sauvignon that layers rich, ripe black fruits with earthy and herbaceous notes as well. Tannins are firm, grippy, adding a balanced structural integrity while the linear acidity leads to a clean finish. |

Foris |
Pinot Noir Rogue Valley |
If you are in need of a well-priced Pinot packed with acidity, this southern Oregon treat is for you. A rich blackberry aroma is matched with notes of pine needles and periwinkle flowers. The crisp palate hosts pears, raspberries and green-tea flavors, all driven by juicy, lemony acidity. |

Pursued by Bear |
Rose 'Blushing Bear' Columbia Valley |
This stainless-steel fermented and aged rosé is the perfect accompaniment to a Saint-Tropez tan. Lemon, wild-strawberry and rosemary aromas are fresh and inviting. Tangy tangerine and sweet Fuji apple flavors nimbly pirouette on a crisp texture driven by brisk acidity. This bear is just right. Editors’ Choice. |

Two Hands |
Bella’s Garden' Shiraz |
Densely packed aromas of black currant cordial, violets, mint, cedar, bay leaf and ground baking spice carry through to a full-figured palate that oozes jammy fruit. It’s balanced by savory spiced tannins, a touch of toasty oak and a good lick of acidity. Drink now with a decanter at hand and throughout the next decade. Cellar Selection. |
