Two Rivers 2008 Merlot (Grand Valley)
-
$16
Rich and jammy with concentrated, cooked blackberry flavors, this medium-bodied Colorado Merlot melds nicely with aromas of toasty, nutty oak. There’s a raw, green pepper note that peeks through, but overall, it’s a pleasant, accessible wine with a delicious roasted coffee finish.

Two Rivers 2008 Syrah (Grand Valley)
-
$14
On the nose, there’s lots of warm, toasted wood and vanilla spice notes on this, cheerful, cherry-laden Colorado Syrah. There’s a slight green, stalky vein that runs throughout, but overall, it’s an easy drinking, fruit forward wine sprinkled with mocha and chocolate.
