($11). A blend of Grenache and Mourvedre,
this is juicy, medium bodied, and ready-to-slurp
wine. Bright red cherry and rich plum,
just a touch of spicy oak, and smooth
tannins. Great with all kinds of food.
(Robyn's Picks, 11/00)
($15). Deep and concentrated, with juicy
blackberry and plum fruit layered with
tobacco and earth and spices. Plenty of
structure, too, particularly at this price
point. Ready to drink now. (Weekend Wine

($15). Juicy red berry is the star in
this Australian red, with clove and smoke
and vanilla oak. Deliciously easy to drink.
Ready to drink now. Wonderful with grilled
lamb chops with rosemary, grilled squash
and onions, and crunchy baguettes with
herbed butter. (Weekend Wine, 10/02)
