This appetizing wine has attention-getting grapefruit and fresh-cut herb aromas, vivid and crisp fruit flavors, light body and a lingering, citrusy finish.
This opens with subdued oak, dried tropical fruit and bell pepper aromas. On the medium-bodied palate, a confected hint of coconut accents grapefruit and mature peach flavors.

Cinnamon scents and a touch of reduction signal just how fresh this wine is. The ripeness of 2015 is well controlled here, its freshness preserved. Funkiness on the palate provides additional interes…
Lemon zest, earth and citrus pith appear on nose and palate. This is fresh, easy, dry and slender with a pithy core of fruit. Drink soon.
Slightly rich on the nose, with aromas of baked black plum, campfire and alcohol. The palate is flush yet a touch acidic; but there's enough body and quality fruit to support the acids, resulting in…
Made as a pure variety, this rare example of Walla Walla Cinsault—is scented with lovely whiffs of berries, plums and moist earth. It falls somewhere in the same stylistic region as Sangiovese and Pi…

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…
A full and ripe rosé from the Sumeire family which owns a number of Provence estates. This wine has freshness along with its rich character, strawberry fruit and acidity well in balance.
Austere and firm, this is still many years from being ready to drink. For now, its potential is apparent in the juicy black fruits, dark tannins and solid structure. It has much of the structure of t…
This Cab may be in a bit of a dip. It's awkward, with a sharp, edgy mouthfeel, and as the wine ages, raisin notes creep forward. Still, kudos to Ehret for holding the wine back for so long, as it doe…
Lots of enjoyable cherry, currant, licorice and sandalwood flavors in this dry, crisp Pinot Noir. Firm tannins give it some toughness, but it doesn't seem to be an ager, so drink over the next 3–4 ye…
