8 This red blend of Syrah, Zinfandel, Grenache and Nebbiolo is such a screaming good deal anyone wanting to make the point that California wine can be affordable and incredibly well made should buy a case just to proselytize to friends. It’s got bright raspberry, cherry and cranberry highlights as well as the meatiness one can appreciate in a fine Syrah. Well-integrated, smooth, clean and balanced, it’s the whole package in an under $10 price.——V.B.(10/1/2011)—— 88
