title: Ca' del Solo 2000 Big House Red Red (California)
description: A blend of six varietals including Cabernet Franc and Syrah, this wine is utterly distinctive. The raspberry liqueur aroma has a meaty edge complemented with things like ground coffee, violets and white chocolate. All these flavors mingle in the mouth, and yet the wine is dry. The supple, silky texture is notable. Best Buy. —S.H.
