					<description><![CDATA[Smooth, solid, value-focused blend of Southern Rhône red grapes—Grenache Noir, Syrah, and Carignan—produced by a cooperative formed by the merger of two cooperatives with histories up to a century old and traditions dating back more than 2,000 years. $14-18 Maison Sinnae is a Southern Rhône cooperative farming west of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, on the right bank of <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/maison-sinnae-enfant-terrible-cotes-du-rhone-red-wine-2022/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Serious Sonoma Rosé, not a mere poolside pour or summer porch pounder to get you through the afternoon until you can move on to your “good stuff.” It is a single-vineyard, small-production effort that showcases quality biodynamically raised fruit the winemaker wisely allows to shine rather than imposing winery tricks. The wine is sophisticated, structured, <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/benziger-family-winery-rose-frank-johnson-vineyard-2025/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[While priced at $120–140 at release and now selling for more, this is an “entry level” pour in the rarefied realm of Napa Valley corps d’élite. Whatever your wallet or proclivities, it will be worth it. This is voluptuous and refined, nuanced and vibrantly delicious—such juxtaposed qualities demonstrate high-level skills from a prestigious vineyard and <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/moone-tsai-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-valley-2021/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Distinctive, site-specific, high-altitude Argentine wine. Oak-fermented at low temperature with no malolactic conversion. Aged eight months in barrel and six months in bottle before release. The result is a smooth, almost creamy wine that showcases sauv blanc’s versatility. $33–36 Grapes are certified organic—in line with all Domaine Bousquet efforts. They come from the Eva Estate, <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/domaine-bousquet-ameri-eva-estate-sauvignon-blanc-gualtallary-single-vineyard-2024/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Approachable, full-throttle red blend of unlikely bottle mates—petit verdot and petite sirah. Take note, there is nothing “petite” about wines made with either of these grapes. Petit verdot usually shows up in Bordeaux blends. Petite sirah rides alongside California zinfandel. The intriguing Texas pairing delivers a tasty, surprisingly well-integrated marriage of grapes known for their <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/invention-vineyards-p2-fredericksburg-texas-2022/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Fresh, vibrant “baby Barolo” from a Serralunga d’Alba estate that also makes classic Barolo. In this case, the winemakers work to tone down tannins during fermentation, then forgo oak contact. The result is a young, light, drinker-friendly nebbiolo that shuns the raw power and extreme ageability the grape can attain. $25-35 Tenuta Cucco is part <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/tenuta-cucco-langhe-nebbiolo-doc-2023/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Complex, layered wine made with the negroamaro grape, a key black-skinned grape in Salento, the sun-washed peninsula in the heel of Italy’s boot. This is a stellar example of what can be done with the grape. Easy drinker over-delivers. $28-30 The wine’s “IGP” designation is part of Italy’s rococo classification system. It essentially is the <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/varvaglione-cosimo-varvaglione-collezione-privata-old-vines-negroamaro-del-salento-igp-2021/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Built-to-please, food-friendly expression of Texas tempranillo, the red grape that has a particularly affinity to Texas terroir. Very accommodating, easy drinker with just enough red-fruit character to be interesting. $51-60 Grapes hand-harvested at 24.2º Brix. Destemmed. Fermented in stainless steel using commercial yeast. Aged 12 months in barrel, none new, 50% French, 50% American.

There are nights and events and situations where that is all you need. Crane Lake Cellars is a label of the Bronco Wine Company.
