    This is an immensely fun albeit simple, Beaujolais-like wine, best served chilled and on the beach or by a pool. Fairly dark in color, it shows deep blackberry, smoke, crushed graphite and a touch of tarragon on the nose, while the flavors offer Concord grape, plum, fruit punch…

    A very uncommon California version of a grape originally from Southern France, this shows broad and welcoming aromas of cranberry-raspberry juice, light purple flowers and cola. Served with a slight chill, it goes down easy, with plump plums and root-beer spice.

    This is an interesting and useful wine, and the price helps make it a bargain. It's pretty close, in texture and flavor, to Pinot Noir, with silky tannins, brisk acids and cherry, cola and cranberry flavors.
