Made with 100% Moscato dried grapes, this offers aromas of mature apricot, tangerine zest and fennel. The aromas follow through to the palate along with orange blossom honey, date and pistachio. Fres…
Usually Terrunyo exudes blatant ripeness, but this cool-vintage rendition smells stalky, rubbery and herbal more than ripe and lusty. The palate is chunky and extracted, but shallow. Herbal blackberr…

Roasted black fruits, animal notes and a strong whiff of black olive make for a wild and wooly bouquet. The palate on this Carignan is direct and firm, with exotic berry flavors, herbal hints and wel…

The 2012 reserve costs only $3 more than the regular bottling, but it's a richer wine balanced with bright, citrusy acidity. The palate is dry with flavors of Bosc pears, green apples, vanilla cream…
Gritty aromas of asphalt and black olive complement saucy berry notes. This feels full, rubbery and tannic, while the flavors are soupy and baked, with herbal elements folded in. On a long finish, he…
This Chardonnay is almost Chablisian—it's bone dry, bristling with acidity, and modest in alcohol. There's a lick of minerality to the lemon peel, apricot and buttered toast flavors that makes the wi…
While the nose is muted, on the palate there are hints of Golden Delicious apples, fir honey and a pleasing bitter almond edge. This is a white wine made with food in mind, its pronounced midpalate w…
This vineyard blend shows the riper, oakier side of a Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir. Rich, fruity and direct, it has luscious raspberry, strawberry and oak flavors, with a touch of sautéed mushrooms an…
As a Gewurztraminer becomes sweeter, it loses some of its spice. What it gains, as here, is a more intense, honeyed and fragrant character that also allows space for acidity. There is some dryness on…
Though labeled simply Washington state, this Bordeaux-style blend is sourced entirely from Kiona's Red Mountain vineyards. The wine includes 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, yielding a deep, d…
This is a rich wine that has flavors of spice, apricot and almond, along with a touch of honey. Rich and full on the palate, it's a meal in itself, but finely balanced with intense fruitiness and lig…
A full-figured display of peachy vanilla, this wine is spry and straightforward, mixing weight with freshness. A bite of fig weaves into tart citrus and pineapple notes, with a touch of oak showing u…
This dessert blend of 56% Sémillon and 44% Sauvignon Blanc smells like liquid honey, with beeswax and concentrated apple syrup as supporting aromas. It's viscous with decent grip on the palate, offer…

Juicy, nearly sweet-smelling aromas of blackberry pie introduce this wine by master sommelier Paolo Barbieri, who moved from Las Vegas to become a winemaker in the Santa Ynez Valley a few years ago.…
The odd name (misspelled on the front label, correct on the back) means beyond the beyond. It's a lightly buttery, nutty take on a relatively simple, yet tasty Chardonnay, with mixed apple, tangerine…
Dark, ripe, tarry aromas announce a macho Malbec. This is jammy and pulpy in texture, with more than enough extraction. Herbal, woodsy black-fruit flavors are supported by an oaky, resiny finish with…
Asian spices, plum jelly and milk chocolate flavors combine in this solid effort, which lacks only a bit more midpalate weight to really excel. As it stands, it is a tasty wine with a slight dip betw…
Ripe and fruity, this is still so fresh. Along with its crisp citrus flavors and touch of minerality, it has a pure, clean line of acidity. It is bright, fruity and ready to drink.
Rather perfumed, lifted notes of honeysuckle and the full force of lemon-drizzled honeydew melon make for a striking opening. The palate is bright and brings ample fruit: citrus-tempered apple, plums…
