5 | Wine | What's On Sale, Red Blend

"Bold dark fruit flavors and spicy notes of Zinfandel and complemented nicely by the soft mouthfeel of Merlot and layered with the smooth blueberry notes of Syrah."

"On top we've got Zinfandel, a saucy tease that brings blackberry and raspberry jam to the relationship. Merlot, with its generous mouth feel and red fruits, fits perfectly in the middle. The rich flavors and firm tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon make it the ideal."

"Gentle, silky and appealing for its warm red berry, cherry and herb flavors. Cocoa overtones enliven the finish."

"Crimson core with some purples. Leafy varietal characters. Blackcurrant cassis with subtle hints of woody spices. Blue and black fruits. Medium body with even tannin structure."

"The 2006 Guidaccio is another compelling wine from this great Tuscan vintage. Today the 2006 is very youthful and firm, but over time the inner sweetness of the dark fruit gradually appears. Clean, mineral notes confer elements of vibrancy and energy that bode very well for the future."

"The 2009 Torre di Ciardo is Merlot with a dash of Sangiovese aged in cement and used, neutral oak. Dark blue and black fruit, licorice and spices are some of the many notes that emerge from this juicy, full-bodied wine. The 2009 boasts exceptional balance, with polished tannins that round out a gorgeous finish."

"Glass-staining purple. An expressive, heady bouquet gives out candied red fruits, potpourri and Asian spices, with a smoky nuance gaining power in the glass. Rich but lively, offering vibrant raspberry and cherry-cola flavors and notes of allspice and star anise. Sweet and silky on a finish that keeps on with impressive tenacity and spiciness. This wine always delivers outstanding value."
