Bodegas Ego Marionette
This is what Jumilla does in spades: to produce wines at a very friendly price point and with Mediterranean Spanish richness, all with the balancing acidity gained from higher elevation sites.

Boen RRV Pinot Noir
Like Joe Wagner didn't have enough going on. Copper Cane, his post Meiomi project (more like a succession of wineries) is sprouting brands like social media breeds conspiracy theories. Böen is one of his Pinot Noir obsessions (think Belle Glos) and the style is reminiscent of the Caymus mentality: lush, supple, ripe and rich.

Bohigas Xarel-lo
No one cares about Xarel-lo like I do; I accept that. But anybody making good cava loves Xarel-lo. Among the grapes that comprise nearly all of Spanish cava, Xarel-lo is nearly universally acknowledged as the best of the three. And those people who don't think it’s the tops, well, they’re just wrong. The winery that makes this dates back to the 13th century, just west of Barcelona, and is farmed organically. Oh, hell, just chill and drink like you’re thirsty.

Bonanza Cabernet Sauvignon
Chuck and his family, as you probably know, are virtual dynamos in the California wine business, with Joe Wagner, his son and the grandson of Chuck Sr. one of the great pioneers of Napa, producing Pinot Noir in Oregon as well. Chuck and his other son Charlie and daughter Jenny, continue to make Caymus the grand Napa benchmark that it is. So when he makes a tasty little blend like this, it makes sense to buy some and enjoy them tonight.

Boulee Cordot
Syrah is planted throughout Mediterranean France, and has a strong reputation dating back to the mid-19th century when Bordeaux chateaux would blend a small amount into their wines to improve them. Alicante? It’s one of the rare Teinturier grapes, having red juice as well as red skins and in the right spots it can be powerful and juicy, not just inky. Together they make for a very modern, fascinating, if untraditional, wine.

Ca' Momi Rosso
If a trio of transplanted Italian winemakers in Napa don't know how to blend an ideal 'house wine', I don't know who would. Their Rosso is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Petit Sirah.

Cambria Clone 4 Pinot Noir
So, can we dispense with the attitude that merely because Cambria sells a lot of Pinot Noir, it must not be very good. Think about that for a second. If they sell a lot of wine, they MUST be good, right? They have this new clonal project and it includes Clone 4 (most people call it Pommard) which they planted back in 1970. If I was making Pinot Noir and I had to pick a single clone to rely upon, it would be Pommard.

Cantine Povero Dolcetto
I don’t know if you’ve noticed but it’s summer, as in real summer, with dogs panting in the shady corners or simply collapsed in the middle of the sidewalk. I need refreshment. Big reds busting their buttons with tannin and alcohol? Not so much. But this wildly fresh, raspberry scented fruit bomb? Absolutely. The importer may hate me for saying it but you won’t mind this straight out of the fridge

Carmita
Centuries ago the DO of Almansa produced high quality wines, albeit at that time they were sweet ones. The locals used Alicante Bouschet, but today they call it Garnacha Tintorera, and for the most part all the producers have nixed the sweet part of the equation. In the case of Carmita,Bodegas Lo Nuevo mixes the Garnacha with 30% Monastrell to make this wickedly powerful red wine.

Cary Potet Bourgogne
Though this domaine’s claim to fame is Montagny, they have traditionally produced Pinot Noir as well, and the new owners have applied their centuries’ long experience to craft delicate, gentle red Burgundy. They are organic, hand-harvested and the wine sees mostly used oak with long settling in tanks to preserve those delicacies: roses, strawberries, bing cherries and mushrooms.
