Perrin-Dobbs Pitch Black Cabernet Sauvignon
Paso Robles, California

Pitch Black is a deep, rich Cabernet Sauvignon that leans decidedly toward blue and black fruit notes of Paso Robles. Briary cassis and blackberry on the nose lead to a smooth palate with soft but present tannins. This bold and easy-drinking Cab is terrific out of the gate and will drink like a champ for the next few years.

Marquis de Bern Bordeaux Supérieur Bordeaux, France

This gorgeous entry-level Bordeaux is at the beginning of its peak and will continue to develop nicely in the bottle for the next 3-5 years.

90 Points James Suckling
With plenty of blackberry aromas, plus toasty notes, this smells like it comes from a much fancier appellation. The balance of ripeness and velvety tannins on the palate confirms that impression. Best from 2020 on.

Alberto Conti Montepulciano d’AbruzzoAbruzzo, Italy

If you’re a fan of the Alberto Conti Toscana, you’ll love their Montepulciano. It’s made in the same soft and generous style and features a nice balance of fruit and earth.

In your glass, it’s all about nicely lifted, earthy, cherry fruit. It’s towards the medium body as Montepulciano goes so that you can enjoy this with pasta, pizza, chops, burgers, and it will also sneak by with grilled firm-fleshed fish like tuna and salmon. It’s just an excellent all-around red to have on hand for the porch, patio, pizza, and pasta!
