Riviera Red Table Wine ‘97

Wednesday, May 3, 2000 | 9:55 a.m.

To be classified a table wine, a wine has to be three-quarters of a percent within 12.5 percent alcohol. When that is the case, you won't see the specific alcohol content on the label. Such is the case with this wine made from Rhone varietals such as Carignan and Grenache, in addition to ripe red Zinfandel grapes from sunny Amador County. It really has the color of a dark rose. You'll like it best as a nice summer sipping wine. It is redolent of mountain fruit, with a light, crisp finish.

Available at Lee's Discount Lake Mead, $10.49, and Nevada Wine Cellar, $10.99.
