J. Lohr 2009 Monterey Valdiguie
This 2009 Valdiguie is really something. It has a brilliant neon-ruby color, a Beaujolais-like aroma. In the mouth, the fruit is nearly sweet to the taste and bursting with ripe strawberry and cherry flavors. The texture is round and yet there isn’t any heaviness to the wine. It is a fresh, delicious, fairly soft red wine that I’ve served with red meat, chicken, salads, sandwiches and turkey. You can even chill it a bit if you want. A marvel and a treasure. We owe Jerry Lohr a great deal of gratitude for continuing to produce this fabulous, affordable wine with the impossible name. |

Side Job Cellars 2007 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon
Although it's not stated on the label, the grapes for this wine come from the Mounts Vineyard, one of Sonoma's best. There's bit of Merlot and Malbec blended in for added smoothness and complexity, and the result is a Cabernet Sauvignon that offers great drinkability at a terrific price. There's a floral note with savory herbs accenting the rich, deep core of fruit, with smooth tannins and a silky texture creating a wine of surprising class and depth. A really good cabernet for a great price. |

O'Shea Scarborough 2007 Proprietors Chardonnay
Horse Heaven Hills is a newly recognized region just to the west of the more famous Walla Walla Valley, and it contains some of Washington's finest vineyards. This outstanding chardonnay is crisp, yet rich, with flavors of lemon curd, toast, and a hint of pineapple, apple and pure fruit unmarked by oak (only neutral oak was used). Partial malolactic fermentation gives just a bit of creaminess, but the overall impression is one of great purity and clarity, a perfect balance of richness and precision, with intriguing notes of minerality adding complexity. This is a very exciting and food-friendly style of chardonnay. Only 44 cases were made, so act quickly. |

Ridge 2006 Santa Cruz Mountains Estate Red Wine
From the same vineyards that produce the iconic Montebello, this Estate red blend provides many of the same qualities as Ridge's top wine, but in a more supple package meant for drinking now. The blend is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot. Classic scents of cassis, cigar box and lead pencil would fool many people into thinking this is a fine Bordeaux. The wine is rich but not overly fruity or thick, more classically structured with moderate alcohol (13.7%) and silky tannins. It's remarkable how the wine opens and develops more complexity as it airs, giving the drinker something new to experience with every sip. At the price, this is a bargain introduction to the qualities that make the Montebello so special. |
