A cozy night in calls for a bottle with a little depth: a red with dark fruit and spice, or a rich white that can hold its own beside roast chicken, creamy pasta or a bowl of risotto. These six wines from Harvest cover both moods, with three comforting reds and three generous whites.

Warm reds for a quiet evening

1. LÚUMA Cabernet Sauvignon, Calistoga 2022

For a Cabernet that feels relaxed rather than heavy, start here. Blue fruit, plum and raspberries meet gentle oak spice, with a softer, livelier structure than the biggest Napa reds. It is an easy fit for a movie night with burgers or a pan of roasted mushrooms.

2. Crossroads by Rudd Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville 2019

This is the plush, deeper red for a slow dinner at home. Black cherry, ripe plum, cocoa and savory herbs come with velvety tannins. Give it some air and pour it alongside braised short ribs, a steak or a hearty mushroom dish.

3. Pax North Coast Syrah 2022

Pepper, crushed cherry, dark fruit and earthy spice make this a good choice when you want a savory red. It is medium-bodied and juicy, with enough depth for sausages, lentil stew or something smoky from the grill. Neutral oak keeps the fruit and spice at the center.

Rich whites for a cozy night

4. Domaine des Combat Crozes-Hermitage Blanc 2019

White wine belongs on the winter table, too. This Northern Rhône white is 100% Marsanne, with a generous texture, white flowers, apple, pear and peach, followed by a smooth vanilla finish. Try it with roast chicken, scallops or creamy pasta.

5. Yves Cuilleron “Les Chaillets” Condrieu 2022

Condrieu is Viognier, and this rich, aromatic bottle shows why the grape is so satisfying on a cool evening. Apricot, peach, white flowers and sweet spice lead into a generous palate with a fresh mineral finish. Pair it with lobster, scallops or a gently spiced curry.

6. Locanda Estate Beckstoffer Carneros Lake Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

For the Chardonnay drinker, this oak-aged Carneros bottle brings ripe stone fruit, pear, almond and honeyed minerality. It has the texture and depth for mushroom risotto or roast chicken, with acidity to keep each sip fresh. Serve it cool rather than ice-cold so those layers can open up.

Make it a cozy night

Choose the bottle around your dinner and your mood. Reds show their best just below room temperature; give richer whites a few minutes out of the fridge before pouring. A good meal, a favorite film and a wine you want to spend some time with are plenty.
