Dolcetto means "little sweet one" and it refers to the smallish, early ripening red grape that the folks of Piedmont in northern Italy planted to satisfy the birds so they would move on before the prized Nebbiolo grapes for Barolo ripened. It is not widely grown in California. This particular bottling from winemaker Rob Lawson is a delicious, deeply-flavored, dark-colored red wine with lots of facets of flavor. The nose is full of bright cherry and plum aromas, while in the mouth there are pronounced flavors of ripe raspberries. The wine is lush without being overly extracted and shows excellent balance throughout the long finish. Bravo to Rob Lawson for producing a bargain of a tasty Italianesque wine. Plus, as a bonus, it is made of organically grown grapes. - Jeff Prather
2008 Comartin Cellars 'Tierra Alta' Grenache, Santa Ynez Valley

Tierra Alta Vineyard is in the upper reaches of Ballard Canyon, which is in the Santa Ynez Valley. The 1200 ft elevation and clay/limestone soils result in a wine that is the most delicate of the three Grenache-based wines made by Comartin Cellars, with expressive red cherry and pomegranate fruit, bright acidity and gentle tannins.Peter Granoff
2009 Loomis Ember
Napa Valley, California
Call 415-288-0470 for help with your order.
10% case discount on 12 or more bottles, any combination. Use promo code "12plus".
This Rhone-style wine made by winemaker Tim Milos is a careful blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Counoise. For California jammy fruit fans, beware. Loomis wines are special exceptions to the Napa fruit parade, offering bright, clean and pure old world flavors. There is a definite Rhone-ish spiciness to go along with the complex fruit character of these flavorful grapes that is balanced by ample acidity. The aromas and flavors are dominated with Syrah characteristics such as leather and earth. For the price, there is a lot of flavor packed in this bottle. - Jeff Prather

Santa Barbara County, California
Call 415-288-0470 for help with your order.
10% case discount on 12 or more bottles, any combination. Use promo code "12plus".
If you are a fan of Santa Barbara Pinot Noir or saw the hit movie, 'Sideways,' you will know the name Hitching Post. It was their legendary Highliner Pinot Noir that was one of the major wine stars of that quirky movie. Hometown is Hitching Post's early bottling of Santa Barbara Pinot Noir that showcases the delicious fruit of young Pinot, and the balance and seduction of the vintage. It is a delicious blend of grapes sourced from vineyards near Los Alamos, Santa Maria, and Santa Rita Hills. - Jeff Prather
2010 Morgan Highlands Chardonnay
Santa Lucia Highlands, California
Call 415-288-0470 for help with your order.
10% case discount on 12 or more bottles, any combination. Use promo code "12plus".
This is fairly typical ripe Chardonnay from the Santa Lucia Highlands near Monterey. The nose has plenty of ripe fruit and some oak spiciness while the flavors are round, rich and loaded with bright yellow apple wrapped around a core bright acidity. There is a light oak richness on the finish giving hints of caramel and cream yet the wine remains subtle and clean. - Jeff Prather
2010 Wallace Creek Vineyards Syrah
Dry Creek Valley, California
Call 415-288-0470 for help with your order.
10% case discount on 12 or more bottles, any combination. Use promo code "12plus".
This Syrah is a crowd pleaser! It is full of big, bold flavors featuring ripe fruit and plenty of it. It is lavished with some spicy oak that adds complexity to this deep plummy and ripe boysenberry wine with subtle meaty notes. In the glass, the color is dark purple and it's concentration is the first clue that this wine is very extracted with incredible intensity. This juicy wine would be delicious with grilled meats, stews, or hearty cheeses. - Jeff Prather
