Everyday Red Gems (Under $20)

2010 Lucky Star Pinot Noir
California
$9.99
Lucky Star's winemaker selects grapes from vineyards from across California’s best growing regions, areas where warm, sunny days are moderated by cooling maritime influences. These conditions create an ideal climate for Pinot Noir grapes. Ripe red raspberry and cherry aromas carry through to the palate, balanced by a crisp yet silky finish. The wine pairs well with grilled chicken, Fusilli pasta tossed with extra virgin olive oil, fresh tomato and herbs or a rustic wood oven-fired pizza with wild mushrooms and Taleggio cheese.

2009 Naked Winery Merlot
Columbia Valley, Washington
$18.99
Naked is their best selling wine. Seems like everyone likes to get Naked! Aging in both French and American oak barrels integrated smoothly with its plum and earthy cherry flavors. Structured yet soft tannins make this a complex wine ready to drink now. We like this Merlot with eggplant parmesan and moist chocolate cake.

2008 OZV Zinfandel "Old Vine"
Lodi, California
$14.99
This robust Zinfandel from Lodi's signature 50-100 year old vines offers jammy raspberry fruit alongside chocolate and mocha flavors, soft tannins and a supple mouth feel. A delicious expression of Lodi's unique climate and soils sure to please even the most discerning Zinfandel lover...

2010 Quattro Mani Barbera
Piedmont, Italy
$14.99
Barbera is the second most widely planted red grape variety in Italy and remains one of the most versatile red wines at the dinner table. This delicious bottles offers aromas of blackberries, plums and sweet spices which give way to a ripe and juicy mouth feel with soft tannins and a long, fresh finish. All wines from Quattro Mani are produced using sustainable agriculture.

2010 P.K.N.T. Carménère "Silver Collection"
Rapel Valley, Chile
$9.99
The Carménère grape has its roots in France but may be regarded as a typical Chilean specialty. We love this wine for its flavor profile of red pepper, black pepper, coffee, and blueberry to blackberry fruit. The tannins are soft but allow the wine the necessary structure to stand up to meat based dishes, great with Tex-Mex of other spicy cuisine.

2009 Jeff Runquist "1448" Red Table Wine
California
$19.99
The 2009 "1448" blend has a big, deep, thick color one would expect from a wine that is 58% Petite Sirah (with 16% Barbera, 10% Petit Verdot, 5% Zinfandel, 5% Syrah, 3% Carignane, and 1% each of Souzao, Cabernet Franc, and Touriga). The bouquet is full of currants, cassis, and smoky, roasted, chocolaty oak. The flavors are big and rich, full of caramel, chocolate and mocha. But this wine also delivers a strong fruit component of ripe blackberries. Smooth and supple with deep color and intensity of flavors, this wine is truly a perfect introduction to the Jeff Runquist Wines "House Style."

2006 Beronia Rioja "Reserva"
Rioja, Spain
$19.99
This fine Reserva is aged for 18 months in small French and American oak barrels. Crafted from the Tempranillo grape (with small amounts of Mazuelo and Graciano), it displays balanced aroma with fruit nuances, spiced with vanilla, tobacco and leather. Smooth on first contact in the mouth and persistent to the finish. This is a wine with velvety sensations, well balanced, with ripe red currant and cherry fruit flavors and floral qualities. A winner vintage after vintage!

2009 Villa Pozzi Nero d'Avola
Sicily, Italy
$10.99
A ripe and juicy representation of the Nero d'Avola grape, it seductively reveals a perfume of blackberry liqueur, white flowers, vanilla and a hint of figs. Opulent and full-bodied with great intensity, superb purity, and a layered, seamless personality. A wonderful introduction to the red wines of Sicily, especially if you like your wines a touch on the sweet side!

NV Veuve Devienne Rosé Sec Sparkling Wine
Loire, France
$13.99
Winegrowing in France is most often a family operation in vineyards and winery, frequently continuing for several generations. Veuve Devienne (“the Widow Devienne”) gave her family name to a traditional sparkling wine – a classic Rosé cuvee – after many years of growing white grapes for the production of premium table wines. Light pink with fine bubbles while aromatic on the nose with hints of strawberry and citrus. The palate is refreshing and clean with vibrant entry and soft finish; fruit-driven hints of berries and lemon. A winning dry sparkler at a very fair price!

From former Indy car driver Randy Lewis, Alec's Blend is a unique blend of 74% Syrah, 18% Merlot, and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tons of redolent, ripe-on-the-vine blackberry aromas cavort with tempting vanilla-laced oak and cinnamon spices like kids at an 8th grade school dance. Up-tempo and hedonistic, provocative, plush and round on the palate, a cloak of moderate tannins keeps the fun in check and the chaperones at bay. Rev your engines!
