Named for the character in Edgar Allen Poe poem “The Raven,” this opens with a burst of boysenberry, then follows with sweet, toasty coffee and bitter chocolate. There’s plenty of acid, and for the price, a wine with substantial body and depth.

Fermented in neutral wood, this simple, straightforward wine is enjoyably grapey and plummy, the tannins are ripe, and though it is not particularly complex it is a perfectly enjoyable pizza wine.

The Rook (named for Irish species of crow) is fruit-forward, round and sweet. You won’t find overbearing flavors of vanilla, tobacco and toast as in many inexpensive red wines, just moderately ripe red fruits done in a balanced and accessible style.

This offers real richness for the price. With dark, sappy fruits, it’s a thick, smoky Cabernet Franc. Yes, there are some slightly bitter tannins, but they’ve been smoothed over, and give the finish just the right edge to tackle a sizzling steak.
