Peirano 1997 Old Vine Zinfandel (Lodi)
- Best Buy
- $10
A very great value in Zinfandel, this warm-climate wine is filled with ripe berry fruit that only steady sunshine can produce. There are some underlying raisiny flavors but they’re overshadowed by the sheer balance. Exquisitely dry, flamboyantly drinkable, with wonderful tannins, this is great Zinfandel, and look at that price.

Peirano 1999 The Heritage Collection Shiraz (Lodi)
- $17
With a little bottle age, this soft wine is picking up bottle bouquet of dried violets and Kahlúa, in addition to the plum, blackberry and olive tapenade notes. Drinks very rich, dry and spicy, scattering an array of dusty brown allspice and Chinese spice around the mouth.

Peirano 2008 The Immortal Zin Zinfandel (Lodi)
- Best Buy
- $12
This is a spiritous Zinfandel, in the sense it feels richly soft, unctuous and alcoholic in the mouth, and there’s a sweetness to the cherries and chocolate that’s almost Port-like, in a good sense. Great barbecue wine, or for drinking with chocolate by a fire on a winter night.

Peirano 2004 The Heritage Collection Cabernet Sauvignon (Lodi)
- Best Buy
- $12
Under the warm Lodi sun Cabernet gets as ripe as anywhere in California. The trick is balance, which Peirano dependably achieves. This wine is robust in blackberry jam, cassis and chocolate flavors, but has good acids and firm tannins, and a soft, voluptuous texture.

Peirano 2006 The Other Red (Lodi)
- Editors' Choice
- $14
Lusty and robust, this Cab, Merlot and Syrah blend combines peppery, briary flavors with riper fruit notes of blackberries and plums. The texture is especially appealing, with its rich, complex tannins, from both the grapes and from oak. Good job in a dry red wine at a fair price.

Peirano 2006 Merlot (Lodi)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Soft, lush and tannic, with oodles of black currant, cassis, cherry, chocolate, chili spice and tabasco flavors that finish with a slightly sweet note of smoky oak. Nice with beef enchiladas.

Peirano 2002 The Heritage Collection Sauvignon Blanc (Lodi)
- Best Buy
- $12
This is quite a fine Sauvignon Blanc, easily as good as many coastal versions costing more. The flavors range from sweet citrus fruits through figs and melons, while a splash of Viognier adds a rich, exotic note. Brilliant too for its crisp acidity, making it clean and refreshing.

Peirano 2006 Muscat Canelli (Lodi)
- Best Buy
- $12
This sweet dessert wine charms for its pineapple-flavored crème brûlée and cinnamon spice flavors. With low alcohol, it’s a gentle sipper to have with fruit-based desserts.
