Five wines to drink right now
It’s the yin yang season when we toggle between the warm days of summer and the cool chill of fall. Do we uncork a red or a white?
It’s a day by day decision. The only thing that’s certain is our desire for a tasty wine. Here are five under $20 that will wow you.
Kaiken, 2015 Salta Argentina Torrontes, 13.5%, $12. This lovely white has notes of tropical fruit, mineral and a hint of peach. A steal for the price.
Bogle, 2013 California Pinot Noir, 13.5%, $12. This is a tasty pinot noir with bold red cherry and strawberry, leather and spice. Great balance. Nice length.
Marietta Cellars, Old Vine Red, Lot 64, $13.5%, $13. A juicy red with notes of mushroom and pepper. It’s earthy and jammy, a delicious combination. Knockout.
Trione, 2015 Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc, 13.8%, $23. This is a floral sauvignon blanc with tasty aromas and flavors of rose petal, peach and mineral. It has bright acidity yet a lush texture. It works.
Saint Gregory, 2013 Mendocino County Pinot Noir, 13.5%, $20. This Burgundian style wine has notes of cherry, plum and toast. Bright acidity. Nice length. Elegant.
