This is a perfumed wine that is soft, full of red cherry fruit and gentle tannins. It does have a dry core that gives the wine shape and there is plenty of juicy fruitiness at the end. The wine is ma…
A jammy, tarry wine with aromas of leather, candy, licorice, mint and herbs. The palate has a solid, round feel and herbal flavors that hint at anisette, black cherry and chocolate mint. A bit sticky…
Over-oaked, with caramelized vanilla aromas and flavors dominating. Under all that is a pretty good Cabernet, with blackberry and cherry flavors and smooth tannins.
Rich and soft, but finely textured, great ripe swathes of spiced apricot and pear juice. A fine, delicious wine.
Rich blackberry purée, blueberry jam, raspberry pie, cherry tart and cedar flavors in this Cab. Rather direct in its appeal, and a bit too sweet, but its solid New World style will appeal to some.
A nice, bright and savory Sauvignon Blanc, rich in fruit but dry on the finish. Shows waves of Meyer lemon, pineapple, kiwi, honeysuckle and vanilla flavors, accented with a touch of oak. Enjoyable o…
Here's a beautifully fragrant expression from northern Italy with bright aromas of sweet peach and honeysuckle. Gruppo La-Vis dedicates careful study and focus to Müller Thurgau and this pretty wine…
Classic old-fashioned California Barbera. It's super-dry, hard in tannins and high in acidity. All that gives it a rather tough mouthfeel, but it should develop for 20 years. Good with tomato-based p…
Latex, tire rubber, sauciness, mocha and cotton candy all share the nose, while the palate is forward, a touch scratchy and filled with bold black cherry and plum flavors. Shows some toast and burn o…
This medium-bodied Chardonnay offers tangerine and melon flavors, subtle leesy and oaky notes and a plump, succulent mouthfeel. Yes, it fades quickly on the finish, but this a wine to quaff, not age.…
Full bodied and warm, this is a ripe, fruit-driven style that's made for immediate enjoyment. Grapy, plummy fruit adds notes of baking spices and chocolate on the supple finish.
This is a bright, ripe and fruity wine. With its red fruits, gentle tannins and juicy acidity, everything is in place for an early drinking and food friendly wine. Ready from late 2017.
Boysenberry aromas and blackberry jam flavors fill this Bordeaux-style red blend to the brim, while a smooth texture and touch of sweetness make it an easy sipper. A great pairing for spicy Korean ba…
Subdued underbrush, red berry and culinary spice aromas emerge in this tight, young red. The palate is bright and lean, offering tart cherry, dried sage and clove flavors, bolstered by taut tannins a…
Dried berry, plum skin, peppercorn and beef jerky scents show on the nose of this bottling from a large vineyard east of Paso Robles. Woody cedar and pine flavors show on the palate, giving nuance to…
The 65% of Merlot in the blend gives a wine that is soft and rounded. With its acidity and fine tannins, it is fresh and fruity. Black currants and berries dominate a wine that will be ready to drink…
The top of the range wine from this estate is ripe and full of vivid black currant fruits. It does have tannins although these are subordinate to the juicy jammy fruit. The wine is almost ready to dr…
This wine with its tight black-currant character, is still also firm with tannins. It has a juicy edge that will develop well as the wine matures. With crisp acidity and structure, it should age. Dri…
The wine is ripe, weighty and full of fruit. Its tannins are already softening into the blackberry flavors. The sole question about this wine is the excessive wood aging that has given a burnt edge.…
Made of 50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, this opens with delicate black-skinned fruit and tilled earth aromas. The straightforward palate delivers ripe black plum and exotic spi…
There's no denying the intensity of this 60-40 blend, but could we dial up the ripeness just a little bit? This is tart almost to the point of sourness, with lemony flavors that last a good long time…
Braccale is a drinkable, food-friendly wine. That's because this wine's naturally tempered elegance means it won't overpower what you eat. It delivers aromas of sweet red fruit, toasted nuts and has…
Exciting, fresh and full of spicy, toasted undertones, this wine immediately calls for a food pairing of a richer seafood (think oysters, crab) or poultry. The flavors are balanced and buoyed by cris…
When this hilly vineyard Cab first came out, it was very good, but quality has slipped over the years. The '04 is perfectly decent in oak-infused blackberry and currant flavors and rich tannins, and…
