Sonoma Reds – Loxton Cellars, Sonoma Valley, California

In the heat of the summer I tend to gravitate toward white wines. As the mercury here in Texas tops 100 degrees I know there are some of you die hard "only Red girlz", so for you I have selected a wonderful red table wine to feature this week.

Sonoma Reds is a multi-varietal and multi-year wine from Loxton Cellars in Sonoma Valley. The wine has aromas of blackberry, blueberry, black cherry with hints of smoke and vanilla. This full bodied wine with a soft, but firm mouthfeel is nicely balanced. It delivers flavors of blackberry, cranberry, mint and a hint of vanilla.

WInemaker Chris Loxton blends Syrah, Zinfandel and Pinot Noir to create this delicious wine. Ready to serve with your favorite barbeque. Price is $18 per bottle or order a case for a 20% discount - www.loxtonwines.com
