Trinchero Napa Valley, Napa Valley (California) 2010

Sweet and soft and quite alluring, this wine shows very ripe fruit character but manages not to come across as stewed or raisiny.  Darkly pigmented but really only medium-bodied, it similarly shows full flavors but a soft, rounded texture.  The wine could stand up to robust meat dishes, but would also be very good with less assertive fare such as roast duck or a veal chop.  Platinum award winner at the 2014 San Diego International Wine Competition.
