We are coming back to the West Coast this week with two standout reds from California. These wines are perfect as the weather starts to cool off. Let us know what you think about these two incredible California Reds.

Cheers!

2014 Clos Saron' Stone Soup', $64
Grapes: Blend of 90% Syrah and 10% Viognier

Tasting Notes: Way up in the northern Sierra Foothills, Gideon Beinstock and his wife, Saron Rice, produce small batches of wines unlike anything else coming out of California. As a result, this Syrah's expression is strongly individual: lighter than most in body and alcohol, it has intense color, vibrant acidity, and fresh aromas. Incredible bottle of Cali Red!

2019 Ridge 'Three Valley' Red, $36
Grapes: Blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Carignane, Mataro, Alicante Bouschet

Tasting Notes: Iconic California producers. Deep garnet-red color. Aromas of ripe raspberry and cherry fruits, fresh mint, exotic spices, with clay-earth minerals. Beautiful fruit tones up front, medium-full body, integrated tannins, and great persistence to the finish.
