Here’s Randall Grahm talking about the wine I’m drinking tonight: the 2009 Contra, an old-vines blend of 55% carignane, 16% grenache, 14% mourvèdre, 7% petite sirah 5% zinfandel and 3% syrah that finds that nice balance between drinkable and thinkable. A good value at around $14.00.

Worth a search.
