My choice would be Red wines from Sonoma, Napa, or the Russian River areas... Bouquet is great, strong flavors and very good endings. We have tried wines (Reds) from other areas including other states, Australia, France, etc. and we have found that most do not have good strong finishes even though the bouquet may be very enticing- just comes out flat at the end... California wines have much better finishes which adds to the experience of drinking the wine...
