The first is a wine called Red Guitar, a 2005 55 percent Tempranillo-45 percent Garnacha (Grenache) blend from the Navarra region of Spain, apparently released by the wine megaproducer Constellation Brands. It costs $9.99, and it drinks marvelously right now. It’s a soft, friendly red, almost pinot-noir like with its sweet up-front fruit, but contains [...]

Merryvale Cabernet Vineyard X
2008-04-20 23:53:53
Now we’re getting into the serious Cabernet Sauvignons. Merryvale is one of my favorite California wineries, based on its consistently good quality, well-valued Starmont line.
