East West is a delicious example, hailing from a small, family-owned vineyard in Lodi, “one of the top wine regions in the country,” where winemakers “have quietly started producing some of the state’s best wines” (vinepair.com). Look forward to ripe black currant, blueberry and intriguing cocoa notes. A real treat on its own or with food (our California expert loved it with carnitas tacos!).
