Savory on the nose and palate, with a slightly dusty apple note that lingers amidst whiffs of vanilla, spice, potpourri and sweet cream. Big in body and alcohol.

Indian Creek Garnet offers rich leather, spice and pepper on the nose and a balanced, savory blend of red fruit, pepper and warming spice on the palate. The tannins are smooth and the acidity good, though the wine could use food to soften its peppery character. Think spiced grilled ribs, burgers.

Very dry and slightly musty, the fruit tastes lightly of apple and citrus, but the wine already seems to be heading over a cliff. —P.G.

Friendly and exuberant, exhibiting flavors of red berry, spice and pepper. Balanced but assertive; will pair well with a spicy pizza or pepper steak.

Cabernet Sauvignon (55%) Merlot (40%) and Cabernet Franc (5%) comprise this red blend from Idaho, named after the winemaker’s son. Soft spice and berry on the nose and toast, tobacco and berry on the palate are approachable and pretty.
