Red Wine by Red Diamond from Columbia Valley, Washington. Aromas of raspberry, jam, leather and pepper mingle with a bit of floral spice on the nose. Spicy floral notes carry through the fruit-packed, medium-bodied palate, finishing with a touch of honey.

Red Wine by Haywood from California. Haywood Vintner's Select Cabernet Sauvignon is characterized by its dark ripe color and aromas of cherry, soft oak and hints of vanilla. The full flavors of Bing cherries and spice are abundant, and complemented by a well balanced acidity with light tannins that linger throughout the pleasant finish.

Red Wine by Columbia Crest from Columbia Valley, Washington. The Two Vines Shiraz features New World-style, ripe, jammy fruitiness blended from varieties traditional in the Rhone Valley. Black cherry and white pepper aromatics are also pronounced on the palate along with hints of boysenberry and raspberry. The lingering finish is pleasingly supple. - Ray Einberger, Winemaker

Red Wine by Canyon Road from California. The fruit for this Shiraz wine comes primarily from vineyards in the California Delta region where warm days and cool nights provide an ideal growing and ripening season. Complex flavors of game and exotic spices are woven in with black currant and ripe cherries, giving this wine a true distinction among Shiraz. The palate has a medium body with a full lengthy finish meriting short-term cellar aging or consumption with hearty fare.

Red Wine by Borsao from Spain. Blend: 80% Garnacha, 20% Tempranillo from Campo de Borja Refined nose of red fruit with a hint of blueberry. Spicy with vibrant acidity. Has a sense of both elegance and verve. Great food wine.

Red Wine by Covey Run from Columbia Valley, Washington. In 2005, Covey Run blended in Cabernet Franc to heighten the berry nose of the Cabernet and soften its robust tannins. The result is an aromatic, deeply colored red wine with a supple mouthfeel...

Red Wine by Oxford Landing from South Australia, Australia. The Oxford Landing Vineyard was established in 1958 on the banks of the majestic Murray River in South Australia. It's an idyllic place, distinguished by clear blue skies, rich red soil and...

Red Wine by Borsao from Spain. Refined nose of red fruit with a hint of blueberry. Spicy with vibrant acidity.  Has a sense of both elegance and verve. Great food wine. Slightly more intense than the Vina Borgia (and priced $2 higher) is the 2005 Borsao, a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Tempranillo. This stainless steel-fermented, deep ruby-hued effort displays plenty of sweet black cherry, strawberry, and raspberry fruit, a hint of black currants, medium body, silky tannin, and wonderful ripeness. The word is “BUY!” Drink it over the next year. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

Red Wine by Oxford Landing from South Australia, Australia. Oxford Landing Shiraz 2005 is deep purple red in colour with hints of ruby. Lifted notes of red berry fruits and plums on the nose with hints of white pepper and anise. Layers of raspberry and cherry fruit lead to a generous mid -palate. Soft tannins complement the length of fruit flavour and the mid palate fruit sweetness.

Red Wine by Protocolo from Spain. Made from 100% Tempranillo, the 2004 Protocolo Tinto, from relatively high elevation (2,700 feet) vineyards planted on both limestone and clay, reminds me of a tasty, straightforward French Cotes du Rhone. Notions of roasted herbs, pepper, and black cherries jump from the glass of this medium-bodied, straightforward, satisfying, well-made, dry red. Enjoy it over the next 1-2 years. - The Wine Advocate

Red Wine by Bodegas Castano from Spain. Excellent example of the Monastrell grape in its early years. Intense aromas of black fruit (plums) and less ripe red fruit (cranberries, mulberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants). On the palate it is fruity and fresh, and alive with tannins which leaves a pleasant aftertaste. The 2005 Monastrell is an insane value produced from three vineyard sites ranging in age from 40-60 years. Opaque purple-colored, it gives up fragrant aromas of blue fruits, plums, and prunes. Ripe, layered, and full-flavored, this hedonistic effort can be enjoyed now but will surely evolve for 2-3 years. Match it with beef and lamb. -The Wine Advocate
