Two Rivers has become one of my favorite Colorado wineries. They resist the temptation to make super-fruity wines that excite the tour-bus crowd, instead focusing on high-quality wines that make the most of what grows well in the Grand Junction area. If you're ever touring wineries on the Western Slope, make the extra 5-mile journey to this place (as if that's far). You won't be disappointed by the wine, the staff or the fabulous views.
With a deep, warm red hue, heady scents of forest floor, berries and worn leather, and an explosion of oak, plum and spices on the palate, this is a pleasing and food-friendly wine that should pair nicely with roast beef and similar dishes.
On a site note, give the wine an hour or two to breathe, which brings out more of the fruit and tones down the oak.
