2 | Wine | Mendocino County, $10 to $20

"Bright aromas of green apple and lime lead to vibrant, layered flavors of citrus, anise and creamy vanilla in this sparkler."

"Aromas of ripe cherries and blueberries mingle with cocoa powder and graham crackers in the 2010 Mendocino Zinfandel. The lushness of the fruit gives the wine wonderful breadth and texture. Petite Sirah and Syrah lend black fruit to the blend, while their tannins frame the wine nicely. Subtle notes of toasted oak, caramel, and freshly roasted coffee linger on the finish."

"A pale, straw yellow color with floral, sweet aromas of stone fruits, grapefruit, orange blossom and a hint of wet stone minerality. The flavors are similar to the aromas highlighted by pear, grapefruit, stone fruit and slight tropical notes."
