Sokol Blosser "Meditrina" American Red Wine ($19). This medium- to full-bodied red wine made by the respected Sokol Blosser winery combines Oregon pinot noir and California syrah and zinfandel in an imaginative and successful blend. Its soft texture makes it immediately appealing, and each of the three varietals adds its own character to the wine. There are hints of black raspberry and game from the syrah, black cherry and earth from the pinot noir and black pepper and herbs from the zinfandel. This wine would pair up well with a wide variety of red meat, roast poultry and pasta dishes. The stylized "M" on the front doesn't tell you much. The full name is on the back label.
