2014 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Lot 548 SRP $19

Lot 548 was farmed and produced by growers of the third generation. It's bursting with sweetness which is immediately available via the nose. It pairs well with filet mignon, Gouda or smoked meats.

2014 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon, Lot 541 SRP $14

This is an award-winning (Gold Medal) Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles. It has been aged in a combination of French and American oak. The nose is not discernible to us. However, we care not. Glasses up, ya'll!

Non-Vintage Napa Valley Meritage, Lot 528 $16

Sourced from Mountain, Oakville, Rutherford and St. Helena, this Meritage is rich and hard to pick apart, flavor and nose-wise. The more that we have wines of a non-vintage sort, the more we like it. Do pardon us. Another fill, please?

2014 Red Mountain Red Blend, Lot 575 $16

Agh! Our favorite of all of them! The Red Blend is a Double Gold Medal winner and is aged in 60% French oak. It's all about the balance here. Perfect.

2014 Sonoma County Old Vine Zinfandel, Lot 543

This Zinfandel is fruit forward with an earthy base. The sweet isn't all fruit though. It'll getcha! Yes.
