A strong streak of pure vanilla highlights the flavors here. The fruit tastes of fresh-picked strawberries. This is 100% Syrah made from estate-grown fruit.

After almost losing a finger struggling to remove the rock-hard faux wax “capsule” I found this strawberry/cherry cordial-flavored wine quite pleasant. The fruit, from a Rattlesnake Hills vineyard, h…

This soft wine is a blend of 80% Malbec and 20% Merlot. With ripe red fruits, it is a smooth wine, now mature, with a light texture. Not for aging, the wine is ready to drink.

Full in style, this is a lemon-scented, peach-flavored wine. It has some richness to it both from the ripe fruit and the textured acidity that gives a tight tang to the aftertaste. The needs to age f…

Streppaticcio is 60-40 Montepulciano and Sangiovese with simple fruit tones followed by slight accents of white mushroom, crushed mineral, black olive and caper. It ends with smooth richness.

The Sacy is a rare variety found only in a corner of the Yonne Valley west of Chablis and in the small Loire appellation of Saint-Pourçain where it is known as Tressallier. This is a spicy wine with…

This Barbera's black cherry, blackberry and clove aromas segue to its simple palate. Supple tannins and brisk acidity lend support. Drink through 2019.

This combination of Monastrell and Cabernet Sauvignon is so heavily oaked that it smells almost entirely of clove. A grabby palate delivers flavors of blueberry, blackberry and clove in front of a fi…

This will now be a regular offering from Patit Creek. It has black cherry fruit, laced with iron filings and light streaks of tobacco and coffee. The high pH and low acidity adds some chalkiness to t…

This is an appealing Chardonnay. It's a little sweet in apricot jam, peach, green apple, honey and buttered toast flavors, but the sweetness is balanced with crisp, citrusy acidity and a nice cut of…

A problematic wine, especially considering the price. It's dark in color, quite tannic and bone dry, with powerful cherry and cola flavors, liberally accented with smoky oak. Has all the hallmarks of…

There's a lot of excitement surrounding the little-know Groppello grape that is a native of northern Italy. The variety delivers freshness and fruity intensity: This expression is extremely clean, po…

Late-harvest Raboso grapes produce a dark, ruby-colored sweet wine, with powerful concentration and a thick texture. The fruit characteristics recall prune and black currant.

Lean cherry, strawberry and red plum aromas start off the nose of this wine, and gradually subside to reveal a stony, flinty streak augmented with soft garrigue herbs. Soft spice and ripe fruit conti…

Impressive, but too sweet for comfort, despite great streamlining acidity that keeps the finish clean. Tastes like sugared orange tea and pineapple jam, with the buttered toast and caramel of oak. Ea…
