what is the correct temperature to store red ca. wines?

i am getting conflicting stories about storing too cold takes away the fruit, and too hot increases too much tannins and bitterness.

58 - 65 degrees.
(Aging slows down at the cooler temperature & matures faster at the warmer temperature but... too warm for too long kills the flavor!)

You are never going to get a definitive answer!! There is still alot of debate in the industry. I've always had mine hovering around 61, but I also have a zoned cooler-cooler on the bottom by 2 degrees.
