Here’s an extraordinarily rich, flavorful red wine and here’s how you should use it. Take a slab of beef, give it a super spice rub, then grill it, maybe with some veggies, and enjoy. Nothing complicated here, just loads of fresh fruits, currants and spices, wrapped into sturdy tannins.

Dry and herbal, with tobacco, thyme and cedar flavors, and an island of wild blackberries floating in the middle. The considerable tannins make the wine astringent. Probably at its best for the next few years.

If you had to choose one Zinfandel to showcase Dry Creek Valley, it’s this one. The vines are said to be over 100 years of age. Just superb. Has the balance and depth of a fine Cabernet Sauvignon, but with Zin’s spicy, briary, brambly personality. Erupts in wild berry, currant, cola, leather, mocha and peppery spice flavors that are so rich and deep and long-lasting. Pricey, but sets a benchmark for Zinfandel. Only 550 cases were produced.

This Cuvee is actually 75% Merlot, 8% Cab Sauv, 7% Cab Franc, 5% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Syrah, and 1% Sangiovese. Whatever the combination, Deerfield's Merlot is the best I've tasted, and I love St. Supery's. There are so many flavors that all I can say is it's wonderfully complex with bright acidity and a lingering finish. Pair it with your favorite grilled meat, or drink it by itself. It doesn't matter. Highly recommended. $21
