Bordeaux-style blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20%, Merlot, 20%, Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby with aromas of red fruits, spice and espresso notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with notes of tar, cacao, tobacco and cedar. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, cedar, tobacco and sweet spice. Very nice, easy drinking, enjoy! Tasting Sample!

The Paring’s 2019 Red is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend from the team at Jonata and The Hilt. It soars from the glass with wild flowers, herbs, blood orange and red-fleshed fruit. Elegant and nuanced, the Red is also a tremendous value. $20.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2022)

The Pick of the litter of wines I am showing off this week...an affordable Bordeaux-based blend with some clear California notes. Twenty-two months oak, 55% new but by no means "oaky"...Tends towards the darker fruits, a pleasure to drink and I suspect it will be for some time to come...

The 2012 Red Wine is superb. Supple, radiant and expressive, the 2012 graces the palate with exquisite dark fruit, mocha, plums, spices, raspberry jam and dark spices. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this supremely delicious Cabernet Sauvignon-based red. The 2012 Red Wine is easily one of the very best values readers will find in California.

I am reflexively prejudiced against California Cabs that aren't from Napa or Sonoma, especially those from anywhere south of Santa Cruz, cbut this is pretty good. Better than the last bottle I had. Nose has rich cassis and dark blackberry, and lots of graphite and dark minerals. Dark and tannic on the palate, but this seems like it just needs a few more years to round into shape.
