can buy by the case that all your red-wine<br />
lovers will like:<br />
Stratus Red 2008 ($44, Vintages Nov.<br />
12) — is has a beautiful nose of cassis,<br />
raspberry, red currants, tobacco leaf, cedar<br />
and vanilla wood. It is youthful in the mouth<br />
with evident tannins (so cellar a bit to<br />
round things out), but with succulent fruit,<br />
savoury-earthy notes, integrated spices and<br />
vanilla through a long nish. Drink now with<br />
food or hold in cellar for a few years.<br />
Vineland Estates Cabernet Franc 2010<br />
($13) — is entry-level Cab Franc is simply<br />
gorgeous and highly attractive at this price.<br />
It is all about the fruit on the nose. Juicy, ripe<br />
cassis, currants, hints of cherry, raspberry<br />
and tobacco, with just a subtle hint of wood<br />
spice. It gushes on the palate with deliciously<br />
bold fruits, impeccable balance and<br />
smooth tannins through the long nish. You<br />
can cellar it for ten years.<br />
Enjoy!<br />
