Savvy wine buys: Peachy Canyon Incredible Red ‘00

Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2002 | 8:29 a.m.

Peachy Canyon Winery started on Peachy Canyon Road in Paso Robles, but the Beckett family soon outgrew the location, and today the winery has moved to larger digs on a different road.

This wine is really 100 percent Zinfandel, and has all the characteristics of that grape: strong tannins, a high alcohol content, pepper and oak in the nose, and lots of fruit. It's a medium-body wine redolent of cherry and strawberry, with a lovely ruby red color. Drink now, or within the next two or three years.

Available at Lee's Discount Liquor and Trader Joe's, $11.
