Karma Vineyards 2007 Zen Red Wine

Appellation: Columbia Valley

Winemaker Ray Sandidge works primarily on the north shore of Lake Chelan, but here's a client on the south shore. This blend of Rhone varieties - Syrah (60%), Grenache (27%) and Mourvedre - shows off hints of cherry cobbler, boysenberry, smoked game meat, bacon and cedar. It follows through on the palate in a manner so jammy with blackberries and cherries that you want to slather it on toast. Rated "Outstanding" by Wine Press Northwest magazine.

Price: $40.

Cases produced: 399.

Food matches: Serve it with lamb shanks or braised ribs.
