Best Buy! Erstwhile owner Chalone Wine Group changed the name of this brand from Staton Hills Winery to Sagelands Vineyard. Fortunately, Precept’s team of winemakers is holding steady onto the concept of quality at affording pricing with this Cab-heavy blend that includes a pleasing injection of Syrah (12%). The nose of Chukar Cherry, dark toast and black pepper follows with delicious purple flavors of plum and boysenberry jam. There’s less oak influence on the palate, where the mouth feel is approachable and comes with a touch of sweetness that extends the finish. Serve alongside barbecued meats, roasted vegetables or hard cheeses. The Sagelands Vineyard wines can be found on grocery shelves at Safeway, QFC and Fred Meyer.
