Rancho Zabaco Zinfandel 2013, Sonoma County, California, United States: This Californian red wine is made from the state's classic red grape Zinfandel, which grows on the winery's Heritage Vines (old vines). Rancho Zabacho is named for the original Mexican land grants in northern Sonoma. Savoury, juicy and delicious with terrific aromas and flavours of blackberry, black raspberry and lip-smacking tasty spice. Lovely balance: not over-the-top. Just what you want for the BBQ. Pair with grilled meats and fun times with friends. Drink: 2014-2018. 434605 14.80% XD 750 mL  $19.95 Score: 91/100. September 5, 2015 Top Rated Red Wine. Heavenly Hamburger Wine Full Review
Alpha Estate Hedgehog Vineyard Xinomavro 2010, Amyndeon Macedonia P.D.O., Greece: Juicy, full-bodied and smooth with a very different and exciting taste profile in this robust red wine.
