Savvy wine buys: Peachy Canyon Incredible Red ‘00

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.
