Francis Ford Coppola Winery Diamond Collection Merlot Blue Label 2008
Rich, fruity and elegantly textured. Rich plum color. Full bodied, with aromas of cherries, strawberry. Very warm and round with subtle notes of chocolate, vanilla and jammy fruit flavors on the palate. Soft tannins, smooth finish.
I like my Merlot with meat, cheese or...chocolate!
Cheers!

Casa Silva Reserva Carmenere 2009
Grape from Bordeaux became the grape number one in Chile!
Deep, almost purple color. A blend of concentrated blackberry, cherry and raspberry and plum. Full bodied and firmly textured on the palate. Pleasant, with dark fruit, some chocolate and coffee, and also some pepper together with a balancing touch of oak. Balanced tannins. Long and rich finish.
Will be great with any meat or chicken.

Zinfandel from Lodi
Amazing, fruity, rich Zinfandel!
Spends 12 months in both French and American oak.
Rich cherry color, with pinkish rim. Nose is layered with berries aromas.
Loaded with berry fruit, pepper, spice, and earth characteristics.
Silky smooth, great balance of tannins and acidity. Nice juicy finish.
And for pairing-of course it will be great with barbecue, ribs, pork, lamb.
