www.cheersonline.com 40 • November/December 2016 (94) Daou Paso Robles Cabernet (California). Possibly the best bargain found this year. Move over pricey Bordeaux, you have a competitor! Affordable, quality Bordeaux blend. Rich, concentrated; black raspberry, spice; uber-long fi nish. This gem could last another eight to then years. ($25) (94) St Supery Rutherford Merlot 2012 (California). A great, single-vineyard mer- lot. Deep shades of reds and purples, with aromas of ripe blackberry with notes of currant, anise and touch of graphite lead to fl avors of black plum and dark mocha. This wine has a fi ne texture, terrifi c length and structure. This is an excellent expression of this grape. ($52) (93) Maal Wines Impossible Malbec 2013 (Argentina). Elegant, dry, and fl avorful with beautifully balanced black fruit aromas and fl avors. ($30) (93) Hill Family Estate "The Barrel Blend" 2013 (California). Our fi nd of the year. This wine starts with 50% merlot, with malbec, cabernet, syrah, petite syrah and zinfandel rounding out the balance. The petite sirah adds density, color and texture while the zinfandel adds a touch of perky spice. The aroma is elegant, the fl avors burst with all sorts of red and black fruits hitting your palate all at once. The fi nish is seductive. A real crowd pleaser. ($25) (93) Gunderloch Nierstein, Riesling Trocken 2015 (Germany). This wine has straight forward limey citrus aromas, as well as smoky minerality on the palate, accompanied by savory characteristics and exotic fruit expressions and delivers a dry, delightful fi nish. ($25.99) (93) Taft St. Cellars, Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley 2013 (California). A wonderful garnet color with aromas of cherry and ripe plums. This is a very soft pinot noir with an abundance of ripe fruit fl avors of black cher- ry. Excellent longer fi nish than most Russian River pinots that adds to the complexity, which would pair well with mushrooms or any pork or chicken dish. ($26.99) (92) Rondel Platinum Ltd. Edition Cava (Spain). Straw to gold in color, this powerful cava has fl oral and bright lemon zest fl avors on the nose that change to potent-yet-well-textured Bartlett pear and Lychees on the palate. There is a great balance and structure to this limited-edition cuvee from Rondel. ($12.99) (92) Verada Pinot Noir 2014 (California). This pinot noir is bold and medium-plus bodied, but it has an elegance that is rare for this style of California pinot noir. The oak treatment imparts vanilla notes that give backbone to the Bing cherry and dense plum notes. This pinot noir is a powerhouse and has an impressive richness. ($16.99) (92) Biale Zinfandel, Black Chicken Vineyard. (California). Purple in color. Black fruit aromas. Tastes of blackberry, black cherry and spice. Firm tannins with a long fi nish ($44.99).
