Grands Amis Winery 2008 Private Reserve, Elk Vineyard, Borden Ranch Petit Verdot (Lodi)
- $25
Minty at first, and herbal, the way a Cabernet can be, this Petit Verdot from Lodi is juicy and well made with licorice and spice and plenty of tannin structure. Its limp finish could signal the need for a bit more time in the cellar, perhaps 2–5 years.

Grands Amis Winery 2001 Graffigna Vineyard Zinfandel (Lodi)
- $18
A zippy wine that features firm, ripe tannins to support a theme of licorice, blackberry, spice, menthol, cherry, chocolate, plum and peppery notes. On the finish, it’s a bit racy, with bright acidity keeping things lively until the end.

Grands Amis Winery 2009 Mokelumne River Pinot Grigio (Lodi)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Crisp and fruity though a little woody and austere on the nose, too, this Lodi Pinot Grigio is unoaked and not for everyone, but well made.

Grands Amis Winery 2006 Elk Vineyard, Borden Ranch Petite Sirah (Lodi)
- $25
Austere at first, even flowery, this Grands Amis Petite Sirah soon becomes more tannic and rough, its time spent in American oak evident, though the finish reveals some pleasing blueberry. Open this one up and let it breathe and pair with meaty meat.

Grands Amis Winery 2008 Old Vine Zinfandel (Lodi)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
A sweet Lodi Zin with much chocolate and mint from beginning to end.
