Good price for a Cab of this quality. It's full-bodied, dry and elegantly balanced, showing real varietal character in the blackberries, black currants and rich tannins.
Tannic and fruity, with the taste of an energy bar. The flavors suggest ripe blackberries, anise, almonds, honey, pepper and dark chocolate. Drink now.
More like Zinfandel with its peppery, prickly mouthfeel, but not a bad wine for everyday purposes. It's dry and full-bodied and brisk, with blackberry, currant and herb flavors.
Made from a Portuguese variety, this Port-style wine has a residual sugar of 8%. The flavors veer toward blackberries and dark chocolate. It's also very tart. Yet it doesn't deliver enough richness,…
Lots to admire in this dry, full-bodied Merlot. It's forward and charming in sour red cherry candy, blueberry and herb flavors, with a nice edge of smoky oak. Contains a little Cabernet and Zinfandel…
A disappointment after the rich 2005. They should have declassified this vintage. The wine is dry and sharp, with green, sharp acids and modest berry, currant and herb flavors.
Pretty soft for a Pinot Noir, and lacking the structural integrity the variety needs. Nonetheless, the flavors of black and red cherries, cola, orange zest and spices are delicious. Drink now.
Flavors of candied lemon, lime and pineapple are brightened by crisp acidity in this unoaked Sauvignon Blanc. The wine reflects this cool-climate Monterey appellation with its clean, brisk character.
Aggressive in texture, this Syrah-based Rhône-style blend has jagged tannins and a sharp green-peppercorn flavor. With its rough-and-tumble mouthfeel, it calls to be paired with simple fare, like tac…
With all of the buttered toast, buttered popcorn and butterscotch flavors, this Chardonnay's fruit isn't allowed to speak. It has brisk acidity and rich tangerine and mango flavors, but the winemaker…
Soft and already easy to drink, this exhibits California ripeness, and it offers cherry pie, chocolate and red licorice flavors.
Stagecoach is a highly regarded vineyard, but this Zinfandel doesn't show it at its best. This wine is too high in alcohol, and it has Port-like prune and blackberry flavors. It has hard tannins that…
This blend of Syrah and several other Rhône varieties is easy to like for its full-bodied flavors of currants, leather and spices. With its grippy tannins, this will pair well with ribs, burgers and…
Full-bodied with a hearty presence of oak and tertiary wood flavors, this wine offers plenty of sour lemon and shy acidity.
A rusty red color, this hearty rose shows bright red cherry, dark strawberry, sultry plum and clove spice aromas. The palate is quite rich and full-bodied with punchy plum and raspberry flavors. A bi…
This wine has quite fruity aromas but more lean flavors as it goes from banana in the smell to light celery and other savory flavors on the palate.
There's an intensity of apricot and melon in this full-bodied, textured wine that veers on becoming overbearingly ripe, with a ghost-like finish.
This is a mild-mannered, softly one-dimensional version of the variety, robust in chocolate mocha and blueberry jam that finishes easily.
Baked blackberries, purple flowers and a touch of leather show on the nose of this hearty bottling. The palate is framed by extremely strong, hard-to-cut tannins, which hold burned flavors of black c…
Beefy, savory aromas, and deep, jammy flavors give this wine a lot of personality. It is full-bodied, saturated with fruit and easygoing in texture.
Raisin-baked plum defines this hearty, full-bodied and ultraripe wine, rich in red berry and robust on the finish.
Aromas like dried herbs and flavors like green apple and pear nectar make a colorful combination in this medium-bodied wine.
This wine is quite clear in the glass and a touch tart on the palate, finding its way to a full-bodied, slightly flabby and gummy texture and sense of heaviness.
Apple cider, night jasmine, ripe pears and orange cream aromas show on this sweeter bottling. The palate is quite clean and crisp, with rich apple juice flavors and a tactile acidity that fades fairl…
