The Winery: Avery Lane
The Wine: 2003 Shiraz
Price: $7.99 on sale at local grocer
For some reason I did not have high hopes for this wine. I suppose it's because the wine was in the close-out bin at the grocer. For the price, this is a very decent wine. It is very slightly more astringent than I care for, but not overwhelmingly so. The wine has a slight citrus flavor balancing the more prominent pepper taste.

Sokol Blosser Meditrina, IV
The Winery: Sokol Blosser
The Wine: Meditrina, IV
Price: $18 (I recently was able to score a few bottles at $14.99 at the local grocery store).
Sokol Blosser has become my favorite winery. Their wines are very good and reasonably priced for the quality.
Meditrina combines Syrah, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel grapes. The combination results in a rich, full-bodied wine. It has a gentle pepper flavor to it, and is a fairly dry wine. I find it pairs equally well with pasta dishes and steak. It also goes nicely with very dark chocolate. Tonight I am drinking mine with Lasagna. Yummmm.
As a side-note, I highly recommend the Sokol Blosser Cellar Club. It is a very convenient way to sample the wines from Sokol Blosser.
