Here’s a very good buy for the budget-minded. It’s California-like with its black cherry and plummy aromas and flavors, nicely balanced by spice and smoky meat notes. A tasty quaffer, it also pairs well with everything from pepperoni pizza and cheeseburgers to meaty pasta dishes. It’s only $13.99 at Costco, $19.99 at BevMo!
