Light bodied, peppery red that goes well with spicy foods.

A very young, brash, tannic and fruit-forward blend from a Zagat collection.

Strong bodied but smooth Malbec

Amazing Cab Franc cut with a bit of Petit Verdot. One of the top reds in VA.

Strong, full-bodied Pinot Noir, cherry notes with a strong oak backing.

Strong bodied, bordering on a malbec. Mineral-y back taste with front notes of dark cherry, sherry.

Bright fruit notes with a smoky, tabacco background. Medium bodied, strong but not heavy. Goes well with stronger flavors like blue cheese, grilled meats and dark chocolate.

A balanced, tannic wine with smoke and berry notes from Colchagua Valley

Very light, borderline dry rose Pinot. Can't stand up to much, but a light pasta or poultry would pair well.

Great review here: http://www.cheapwinefinder.com/2011/09/2009-three-knights-los-ca...

Medium-bodied, fruit-forward wine that's a bit edgy on acids.

A surprisingly good wine served on South Africa Airways.

A great, cheap Cotes du Rhone with a lavish mouthfeel. Strong tannins and black pepper, really needs a food pairing. Opens up well.

Fruit-forward (maybe too much?), medium bodied wine. Not too tannic, not too sweet. Good table wine.

A decent red, a bit too tannic.

More on the grape at wikipedia, and via JasonsWineBlog.com:

"Per quaffability “Carmenere is more obscure than the fifth Beatle. The sixth grape of the famed five Bordeaux varietals, usually compared to Petit Verdot for the sturdy qualities it adds to Cabernet blends, Carmenere is not even grown in Bordeaux anymore. It does have a new home in Chile, where it’s blended into Cabernet and also bottled solo on occasion and noted for its smoky/earthy flavor profiles."

A gift bottle from our Rehearsal Dinner venue; a good, complex Bordeaux blend.

http://www.pininfarinawine.com/wine.html

Varietal Composition: 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 6% Malbec, 5% Syrah

A fruit-forward, light but strong red that pairs well with steak or italian.

This is a great pizza wine, but otherwise not exciting. Very fruity, but not sweet. Delicate, light flavor with enough tannin to stand up to light italian foods, but not a steak.

Joe and Erin found this at Marvelous Market, it's a surprisingly rich and strong Rioja that isn't overpowering. 85% tempranillo, 10% garnacha and 5% mazuelo.

http://www.burgoviejo.com/

"Our queen is the varietal Tempranillo, flagship of Rioja, but we do not forget other autochthonous such as Graciano, Grenache, Carignan or Viura, that complete the palette with their special features."

Bold and fruity with spicy/pepper notes and a hint of smoke; pairs well with duck, pork, sweet BBQ

$7 at Trader Joe's
