With good acidity, a silky mouthfeel and a dry finish, this is a pretty good Pinot Noir. It’s more balanced than many Pinots costing two or three times as much, which makes it a great value. The flavors are of raspberries, cherries and red currants, with a touch of oak.

Lots of lush, ripe richness in this smooth drinking Petite Sirah. The blackberry, black currant, chocolate and sandalwood flavors are delicious. Pretty good price for the quality.

Here’s a sweetly fruity, simple Cabernet, ripe in blackberry and cherry pie filling, with hints of smoky oak. It’s a sound, country-style wine, and pretty good for the price.

This soft, sweet Zinfandel is easy to drink now with simple foods, like meatballs and spaghetti, burgers and beef tacos. It’s ripe and forward in cherries, cocoa and licorice.

A sound, everyday red wine, rough and ready, with jammy flavors of cherries, berries and spicy tobacco. Bring on the chili and burgers.
