Red Truck 2006 Merlot (Central Coast)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Does a great job of providing a dry, balanced and even sophisticated Merlot at an everyday price. The grapes are from southern Monterey County, and the wine shows polished cherry, currant, orange rind, sage, mint, pepper and smoky flavors wrapped into firm tannins.

Red Truck 2007 Petite Sirah (California)
- Best Buy
- $11
Just shows you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a good red wine. Dry and full-bodied, it shows deeply ripe black currant, plum, leather, unsweetened chocolate and spice flavors, wrapped into rich, sturdy tannins. Should develop for a couple years.

Red Truck 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Central Coast)
- $12
Lush, round and flavorful, this Cab pleases for its array of fruit. Made in a soft, gentle style, its blackberry, currant, cherry and cocoa flavors finish in a swirl of sweet anise and pepper.

Red Truck 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (California)
- $12
Pretty smooth and balanced for such an inexpensive wine, this does a good job of intertwining ripe fruity flavors with earthy, herbal ones, then adding a tasteful level of oak. It finishes dry, with a scour of tannins.

Red Truck 2009 Pink Truck Rosé (California)
- Best Buy
- $9
Hard to say if this is a dessert wine or a rosé, because it’s fairly sweet. Let’s call it a rosé. And a pretty one it is, with savory orange, raspberry and vanilla flavors, balanced with acidity.

Red Truck 2006 Zinfandel (Mendocino County)
- $11
Decent price for a lusty Zin like this. It’s big and tannic and powerful, with a flood of dried fruit, berry, leather, mocha and spice flavors. Good with short ribs and barbecue.

Red Truck 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (California)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
The California appellation on the label doesn’t tell you, but the grapes are from Hames Valley, an interesting little region midway between the cool Salinas Valley and warm Paso Robles. The wine has good acidity and treads a delicate line between cherries and more herbal notes. Light and food-friendly.

Red Truck 2005 Merlot (California)
- $12
A little on the harsh, rustic side, but there’s enough cherry, vanilla and anise richness to satisfy. Great with a burger.
