Editor's Picks of the Week | | | | | | | | | A stellar bang-for-the-buck Cab Sauv coming out of the broad North Coast appellation. Medium-to-full bodied, the palate is filled with generous tannins, warming alcohol and a modest acidity that amplifies the concentrated fruit and integrated oak. Enjoy notes of dried black currant, blackberry jam, black cherry compote, bittersweet cacao, a hint of capsicum and toasted wood. Best Buy — Stacy Briscoe | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Spring blossom and white stone fruit aromas shape the nose along with a whiff of botanical herbs. The savory palate doles out green apple, lemon drop and a tangy saline note alongside crisp acidity. It closes on an almond note. Editor's Choice — Kerin O'Keefe | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a powerful blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre and 15% Syrah.The wine is so lively upon opening that it will surely pique curiosity amongst enthusiasts. An intense core of blackberries, sunbaked plums and touch of wild mint coats the palate. Natural high-altitude acidity helps draw a long, dark-fruited finish, with salinity, fine gritty tannins and clove. Editor's Choice — Anna-Christina Cabrales | | | | | | | | |
