Peirano Estates Petite Sirah

"Lodi's climate and soil are ideal for Petite Sirah production, which is why the area is the state's leading producer of this varietal." This wine uses rotary fermentation techniques, which insures that every characteristic and bit of flavor is extracted from the fruit. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, concentrating its fruit and rounding out the flavors.  Test this

The wine's color is dark purple and inky, a quality that is very indicative of Petite Sirah. Your nose may detect aromas of blackberry jam, underbrush, fall spices, and rosemary. The palate offers an explosion of purple and dark fruits such as boysenberry, plum and sweet black cherry. Firm tannins persist throughout the finish with hints of smoke and dark chocolate. This wine calls for a grilled steak!  $13.99

Gaga 'Rouge'

Sorry, this is not Lady Gaga's wine label. Rather, it's a fun and value-driven California red that delivers sensuous aromas of black plums, fall spices, and dried black figs. The fig theme carries on the palate along with a stewed red fruit flavor, which hails from an abundance of Zinfandel. This is a great option when all you want to do is stay indoors and watch the leaves blow around.  $12.99
