Are there any Kendall-Jackson or Errazuriz fans out there?

Kali...If you like Merlot and Pinot Noir because they are somewhat less astringent reds than Cabernets and some others, I suggest you check out some of the California Sangiovese entries.

Ferrari-Carano makes a wine called "Siena" which is Sangiovese with a small amount of Cabernet and the Atlas Peak Reserve (but not the regular) is also very nice. From Southern California, a brand called Castelletto is excellent.
