Bogle 2007 Petite Sirah - Red Wine

Red Wine by Bogle from California. Thirty-one years after it was first produced by the Bogle family in 1978, Petite Sirah is today considered Bogle's heritage varietal. Ripe summer blackberries and plums overwhelm both the nose and palate of this wine. Its trademark inky, jammy qualities are a barrage of black fruit and spice, adding layer upon layer of complexity. Notes of supple leather and toasty oak envelop the flavors through the finish, giving way to wisps of caramel and vanilla. The firm tannins make this a wine that can develop for years to come, but you won't want to wait that long to enjoy it! Try this unique wine with rich meat dishes of lamb, pork or game and their hearty sauces. Price: $10.99

J. Lohr 2006 Cuvee Saint E - Cabernet Franc Red Wine

Red Wine by J. Lohr from California. The 2006 J. Lohr Cuvee St. E is dark red-purple in color with aromas of black plum, blueberry and violet, with touches of chocolate, vanilla and toasted oak from twenty-one months aging in new French oak barrels. The wine displays the true varietal nature of Cabernet Franc, with fine-grained tannins and mid to rear structure from both the fruit and maturation time. Palate weight is quite dense due to the generous contribution of Cabernet Sauvignon in this year's blend. On release, this wine will already have one year bottle age but will develop additional complexity well into the future.? In its youth, Cuvee St. E should be enjoyed with pan-seared filet mignon, or ribeye steak with a berry-infused reduction sauce.? We recommend decanting one hour prior to serving. Price: $46.99
