Silver Palm Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
North Coast, California, $20
A delicious wine with flavors of menthol, spice and oak, solid tannins and a lingering finish. 92% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes with the rest Merlot. The simple yet eye-catching label is embossed with platinum.

Charles & Charles Rosé 2011
Columbia Valley, Washington, $11
This rosé was #42 in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2012. Two rogue winemakers, Charles Smith and Charles Bieler, teamed up to create this crisp, dry rosé with bright fruit and mouthwatering acidity. The unique label is an abstract play on the American flag.   

Mer Soleil Silver Unoaked Chardonnay 2011
Monterey County, California, $25        
The unique design of this ceramic bottle comes from small cement tanks imported from France. They are combined with larger stainless steel tanks to ferment and age this no-oak Chardonnay.
Cool morning fog produces intense tropical fruit flavors and balanced acidity.

La Vite Lucente 2008
Luce Wines Tuscany, $30
A radiant sun with 12 flaming rays, often seen in central Italy, represents the Divine Light. The vintners of Luce created this blend of Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon that is nourished by the warmth of the sun and generous earth of Montalcino. 

Project Happiness Syrah 2011
Oceana Winery Santa Barbara, California, $13
The smiley label says it all about how the wine makes you feel, but tells you nothing about the flavor. The back label gives you more details, suggesting you wear seersucker or adopt a dog—or even a box turtle. And you can tell them what makes you happy at oceanawinery.com/projecthappy.
