El Chaparral De Vega Sindoa 2008

Grenache

Mage from vines 60 to 100 years of age. Exotically perfumed bouquet displays black raspberry, cherry compote, licorice and dark chocolate, plus a sexy floral overtone. Finishes with strong clarity and mineral snap. Year in and out, this is a great value! Available at the Winehound.

Consilience Syrah 2006

This wine racked up votes from all angles. Catering chefs, private chefs, restaurant owners and wine shops all gave a big thumbs up as a perfect pair to any steak, chop, rib or even Tri-Tip at your next BBQ event. The aromas are deep and very concentrated, yet silky with black liquorice, cherry tones and a long, smooth finish that will put a smile on your face. A great deal, too! With a retail price point of under $17, it just might be the best valued syrah in the state. If you can find a case, buy it!

Rich in color and bursting with flavors of spice, cranberry, light blueberry and strawberry. This wine displays great balance and a lingering finish. Perfect with rack of lamb.

Kunin Pape Star 2007

Seth Kunin’s specialty brand is a combination of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre which gives it the meaty first sip and a rich, fruity finish you’re looking for when dining on steak. Delicious!
