As falls sets in and winter quickly approaches, many of us switch our brains and palates to "red wine mode." The summer was filled with thirst quenching high acid whites, and refreshing dry rosé wines. Now the cooler weather conjures images of a roaring fireplace and hearty red wines to warm the palate and soothe the soul. Give these two Little Black Dress reds a try:

• 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, which offers aromas of cherry and berry, complimented by lightly toasted oak and vanilla. This wine is smooth and rich in both color and mouthfeel, with hints of blackberry, blueberry, cherry and sweet oak spice. It is lush and supple with a flavorful fruit-forward finish.
• 2017 Merlot, which offers a plush texture and nuanced aromas of ripe black cherry, rich mocha and spicy plum before a seductive vanilla and oak finish.

Little Black Dress is a northern California winery whose mission is to produce that bottle of wine we all want to curl up with at the end of the day. It's a perfect fit for those who believe that confidence turns heads, sophistication is the rule and a good bottle of wine is the best accessory. Little Black Dress wines are approachable, affordable and delicious. These wines were created to be an accessory for every occasion; every spontaneous party, every late night perched on the kitchen counter catching up with friends.

The wine is beautifully packaged in an ornate metal wine carrier, ready for gifting to any red wine enthusiast!
