"I can't help but reminisce of my trips to Southern France when I drink this wine. The bright, fresh red aromas of cherry and plum lead to flavor... flavor... flavor! Balanced tannins and a smooth fruit forward taste allow the grapes in this wine to harmoniously express themselves from bouquet to the palate's last lingering moment. What a fabulous everyday drinking wine!" - Winemaker Notes

• Hook & Ladder "Station Ten" Russian River Valley Red -- "Our deep ruby pomegranate colored Zin blend displays aromas of vanilla spice, blackberry cobbler, raspberry jam and plum with a hint of leather that lead to spicy flavors of mixed berries and vanilla. This wine has good acidity in the mid palate with a nice touch of oak and tannins in the long raspberry and strawberry finish. Try this versatile Zinfandel bland with any red meat on the grill or tomato heavy pasta." -Winemaker's Notes 68% Zinfandel-21% Petite Sirah-9% Carignane-2% Alicante Bouschet

• JR Wine Honey's Syrah -- "Honey must have muscles for miles! Bold, black cherry and vanilla cream soda aromas waft from the glass. From the initial deep red color and dense aromatic attack, you know this wine has strength in color. The palate of this Syrah is exactly what you would expect from that mindset. Large but balanced structure is derived from proper weight of both the firm acidity and rustic tannins. Flavors of crushed rock mineral, black cherry, vanillin overtones all give way to a very long finish. This wine is a "bad-boy," hungry for a juicy steak! Should age well 6 to 10 years."

• Maramonte Mara Syrage Lot 7 -- "Syrage defines the essence of two varieties but one wine and the best of Hermitage and Meritage. The Mara Wine Group created Syrage Lot 7 to go beyond the one grape/one wine philosophy. This allows our winemaker the latitude to build intense wines of balance to meet the consumer's desires. Syrah is our pedigree, contributing balance with 18 months of oak aging from our vineyard in the Sierra Foothills. By using the Queen of Bordeaux grapes, Merlot, also from the Sierra Foothills, we added velvet and grace (forget Miles) with her Bordeaux origins. Also, 18 months in small French barrels. While the label says California, it is all Sierra Foothills. This area is renowned for its cool climate Rhones and early, ripe, intense and balanced Bordeaux reds which have attracted collectors worldwide." - Winery Website

• McKenzie Mueller Cabernet Franc -- This wine from McKenzie Mueller Vineyards is an excellent example of how well Cabernet Franc can stand on its own. The nose is richly fragrant of bright red fruit such as raspberries and cassis with a touch of pepper. The wine drinks very smooth with soft tannins and slight nuances of vanilla. Yum. "Nice and ripe, with black cherry and vanilla flavors and a mouth-warming feel that's partly the result of the body, partly due to soft tannins and acids. Brings to mind those luscious, likeable wines of Chinon." -Wine Enthusiast Cheese Pairings: Epoisses, Munster, Vacherin Mont d'Or Food Pairings: Vegetarian Dishes, Eggplant, Grilled Meat or Vegetables
