Balanced with aromas of tropical fruits and citrus married with subtle oak notes. The palate is bright and fresh, with lingering flavors of juicy yellow peaches, lemon oil and crème brulee. The wine shows great, soft texture and finishes long. Rating: 87 pts (Wine Enthusiast)

Josh Cellars Legacy Red Wine, 2015, retail value $16.00

Hopland, Northern Coast, California

Juicy with the plum and blackberry flavors prominent, layered with smoky roasted almonds and hazelnuts, finishing long with fine, elegant tannins and white stone fruits that linger, finishing with a fresh and clean acidity. Crafted in honor of Josh. Pairs well with his favorite meal: a thick, juicy steak. Not Rated.

Josh Cellars Merlot, 2014, retail value $15.00

Hopland, Northern Coast, California

Aromas of black cherries, fresh plums, violet and dark chocolate overwhelm the bouquet. On the palate, the wine is layered with fresh bing cherries, baked plums, and mocha, softened by its delicate, almost luxurious texture, and given staying power with a long, raspberry and cocoa powder finish. Rating: 86 pts (Aggregated)

J. Lohr Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon, 2015, retail value $16.00

Paso Robles, Central Coast, California

Enjoy this wine while you sauté some mushrooms and snack on a few bruschetta as you relax and barbeque a garlic infused tri-tip roast.  Perfectly poised to grace any dinner table, this firm and well-built wine offers loads of ripe fruit and savory oak in its aroma and flavors. The wine's moderate and sweet tannins pair it well now with a well-marbled ribeye. Rating: 89 pts (Wilfred Wong/wine.com)
