An Argentinian who lives in the United States, Laura hails from wine royalty as her father, Nicolás Catena of Catena Zapata, is one of the founders of modern Argentina wine. This intensely hued and deeply powerful wine is made with vines that are an average of 50 years old and planted at at 3,500 feet altitude in the Uco Valley.

Balanced, mouthwatering yet rich styles are what I crave and that is exactly what Reata makes. Grapes hail from the cool Carneros region straddling Napa and Sonoma allowing them to get ripe, full flavors, but maintain their acidity and brightness from cool nights. This wine is aged in half stainless steel and other half in oak barrels creating the perfect balance of crisp fruit notes and a creamy texture.

This Pinot Noir is a powerful blend of grapes from three California counties, Sonoma, Monterey and San Benito. The aromas are reminiscent of dark berry fruit with a hint of vanilla and spice.

The Double Lariat is powerful and structured but already drinking as smooth as silk. Both fermented and aged in barrel to allow for more complexity, aromas of cocoa and brown spices pair with rich, dark berry fruit notes and supple tannins, which give layers of lushness to the wine.

At this price, it qualifies as one of the best values on the wine market. Alvaro Palacios ranks among Spain’s hottest winemakers/vintners crafting beauties from areas like Priorat and Bierzo, but his family’s historic winery, Palacios Remondo, is a classic. This unique red blend (of mostly Garnacha and Tempranillo grapes) hails from the high-altitude southern reaches of Rioja where gravelly soils reign.

Watermelon and red berry flavors with a ping of peppery spice on the finish makes it a complex wine for the price. Serve it up with anything hot off the grill and doused in barbeque sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.klwines.com/detail.asp?sku=1125079\">2010 Palacios Remondo “La Montessa” Rioja, Spain\u003c/a> ($17)\u003cbr>\nThis is such a delicious wine. At this price, it qualifies as one of the best values on the wine market. Alvaro Palacios ranks among Spain’s hottest winemakers/vintners crafting beauties from areas like Priorat and Bierzo, but his family’s historic winery, Palacios Remondo, is a classic. This unique red blend (of mostly Garnacha and Tempranillo grapes) hails from the high-altitude southern reaches of Rioja where gravelly soils reign. Lush yet vibrant, it’s a wine that belongs on every table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.jamiesonranch.com/\">2012 Reata Chardonnay, Carneros, California\u003c/a> ($25)\u003cbr>\nI’m a huge of Chardonnay. Balanced, mouthwatering yet rich styles are what I crave and that is exactly what Reata makes. Grapes hail from the cool Carneros region straddling Napa and Sonoma allowing them to get ripe, full flavors, but maintain their acidity and brightness from cool nights. This wine is aged in half stainless steel and other half in oak barrels creating the perfect balance of crisp fruit notes and a creamy texture. It’s a wine at home with salmon dishes as well as pork chops bathed in mustard sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.jamiesonranch.com/\">2011 Jamieson Ranch “Double Lariat” Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California\u003c/a> ($55)\u003cbr>\nYou might expect to pay twice the price for a cellar-worthy, classy Napa Cabernet such as this one. The Double Lariat is powerful and structured but already drinking as smooth as silk. Both fermented and aged in barrel to allow for more complexity, aromas of cocoa and brown spices pair with rich, dark berry fruit notes and supple tannins, which give layers of lushness to the wine. Drink with simple grilled steak for a perfect pairing (just make sure to decant several hours ahead of time).\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Winemaker Kristy Melton, at the vinous helm since 2012, is known for her deft touch. This Chardonnay expresses the elegance of its Carneros roots and is balanced with integrated oak, succulent fruit notes, and luscious yet vibrant texture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://amaurice.com/\">2009 àMaurice “Night Owl” red, Walla Walla Valley, Washington\u003c/a> ($47)\u003cbr>\nMany wine drinkers have never heard of this boutique producer tucked away in eastern Washington, but consider it a true treasure. Winemaker Anna Shafer is one of the hottest craftswomen in wine right now and her wines – from Viognier to Malbec and more– are simply delicious. This Bordeaux-style red blend combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It’s so smooth, it’s like drinking velvet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.jamiesonranch.com/\">2012 Reata Chardonnay, Carneros, California\u003c/a> ($25)\u003cbr>\nI’m a huge of Chardonnay. Balanced, mouthwatering yet rich styles are what I crave and that is exactly what Reata makes. Grapes hail from the cool Carneros region straddling Napa and Sonoma allowing them to get ripe, full flavors, but maintain their acidity and brightness from cool nights. This wine is aged in half stainless steel and other half in oak barrels creating the perfect balance of crisp fruit notes and a creamy texture. It’s a wine at home with salmon dishes as well as pork chops bathed in mustard sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.jamiesonranch.com/\">2011 Jamieson Ranch “Double Lariat” Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California\u003c/a> ($55)\u003cbr>\nYou might expect to pay twice the price for a cellar-worthy, classy Napa Cabernet such as this one. The Double Lariat is powerful and structured but already drinking as smooth as silk. Both fermented and aged in barrel to allow for more complexity, aromas of cocoa and brown spices pair with rich, dark berry fruit notes and supple tannins, which give layers of lushness to the wine. Drink with simple grilled steak for a perfect pairing (just make sure to decant several hours ahead of time).\u003c/p>\n\n",

Winemaker Kristy Melton, at the vinous helm since 2012, is known for her deft touch. This Chardonnay expresses the elegance of its Carneros roots and is balanced with integrated oak, succulent fruit notes, and luscious yet vibrant texture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://amaurice.com/\">2009 àMaurice “Night Owl” red, Walla Walla Valley, Washington\u003c/a> ($47)\u003cbr>\nMany wine drinkers have never heard of this boutique producer tucked away in eastern Washington, but consider it a true treasure. Winemaker Anna Shafer is one of the hottest craftswomen in wine right now and her wines – from Viognier to Malbec and more– are simply delicious. This Bordeaux-style red blend combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It’s so smooth, it’s like drinking velvet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.jamiesonranch.com/\">2012 Reata Chardonnay, Carneros, California\u003c/a> ($25)\u003cbr>\nI’m a huge of Chardonnay. Balanced, mouthwatering yet rich styles are what I crave and that is exactly what Reata makes. Grapes hail from the cool Carneros region straddling Napa and Sonoma allowing them to get ripe, full flavors, but maintain their acidity and brightness from cool nights. This wine is aged in half stainless steel and other half in oak barrels creating the perfect balance of crisp fruit notes and a creamy texture. It’s a wine at home with salmon dishes as well as pork chops bathed in mustard sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.jamiesonranch.com/\">2011 Jamieson Ranch “Double Lariat” Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California\u003c/a> ($55)\u003cbr>\nYou might expect to pay twice the price for a cellar-worthy, classy Napa Cabernet such as this one. The Double Lariat is powerful and structured but already drinking as smooth as silk. Both fermented and aged in barrel to allow for more complexity, aromas of cocoa and brown spices pair with rich, dark berry fruit notes and supple tannins, which give layers of lushness to the wine. Drink with simple grilled steak for a perfect pairing (just make sure to decant several hours ahead of time).\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

A stunning Rhone-style blend from Washington crafted from grapes Roussanne and Viognier by rock star winemaker, Jamie Brown, this is a wine to seek out and savor.

The brand belongs to Jamieson Ranch Vineyards, which has formed the Light Horse Foundation. A portion of all wine sales go to the foundation assisting high-risk individuals afflicted with autism.
