Here’s a new entry in the animal-themed, labels gone wild varietal sweepstakes. For eight bucks, you get a big gulp of cherries and blackberries, in a softly textured, dry package. It’s a great deal.

A little watery, but nicely dry and quite tart, which gets those tastebuds watering. Shows flavors of lemons and limes, with a hint of pear.

A nice wine, full-bodied and gutsy in the style of Pet, with crunchy tannins and upfront currant, coffee, chocolate and herb flavors. There’s some raisiny overripeness, but those babybacks won’t care.

Red Rover, a brand from Stevenot, has done a bang-up job with inexpensive varietals. This Cab is a good expression of a rustic, country-style wine that just needs some decent food and a good setting to please. With berries and cherries, it’s dry, and has a nice spiciness.

Pretty good, although it’s drying out. The pineapple and pear flavors are disappearing, replaced by herbs and vegetables. Drink quickly.
