Most people think Argentina when they see Malbec, but it now has found an ideal home in the Lodi region,  known for its climate of warm, dry summers amid rich fertile soil that creates the perfect place to grow award-winning Malbecs.
These grapes have similar characteristics to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and are oftentimes rich but delicate. This vintage’s heady aroma of juicy, ripe fruit is what you notice first. Think of ripe, red cherries, plums and luscious currants. The flavours complement the nose with rich, ripe fruit overlapped by spicy cherry and hints of sweet oak. Medium-bodied with mature tannins, this wine has a savoury feel to it. Pair with any red meat dish but can also go great with Mexican, Indian or Italian fare. $28.95*

Deep purple-red in colour. Intensely fragrant, this wine displays aromas of blackberry, violets and dark chocolate. The full-bodied, well-balanced palate offers freshly ground coffee, mineral and berry characters, supported by long, velvety tannins and texture on the seamless finish. $22.95*

86% Zinfandel, 14% Petite Sirah
This outstanding 2007 vintage from the Varner Winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains is a classic Zinfandel with loads of berry fruit, pepper, earth, and roasted Provençal herb flavours. Pure, full-bodied, ripe, with not a hard edge to be found in this excellent red. $21.95*

Immediate nose of oak and berry which expands to fresh cherry. Obvious grape entry in the mouth that surprises to develop into rich and deep flavors. Old-world vanilla flavors dominate in a quality rarely seen in wines this inexpensive. Easy drinking and unpretentious. $14.95*

A remarkably balanced red with a clean and mildly lingering finish.
A light and elegant wine that combines the profile and classical flavour of Portuguese Dão reds with the great versatility of an everyday wine. Ideal with light meals, such as cold meat, cheese and some fish dishes. $11.95*
