Bright and juicy, this fruity wine has plenty of cherry acidity and bright acidity. It's attractive to drink now with its broad texture and crisp aftertaste.

The winery's first vineyard-designated Chardonnay, this comes from a vineyard in the Oak Knoll District AVA near Yountville, a relatively cooler area of the Napa Valley. Light golden in color, it off…

There are pleasant green elements on the nose, and it's light and racy on the palate, with pepper and blackberry flavors, before the mouth-drying tannins arrive. An affordable yet bold Cabernet.

Ample fruitiness is accompanied by an attractive tannin and mineral texture and well-integrated acidity. It's a rounded wine that is ready to drink, with red cherry fruits that are full and ripe.

Scorched earth, forest floor and roasted coffee bean aromas open this wine. The palate is on its oak, delivering toast, vanilla, mocha, cooking spices and plumcake. It has a warm midpalate and not qu…

Purists may gripe that this is a touch on the sweet side—the dosage is 13 g/L. Although this blend of 52% Chardonnay and 48% Pinot Noir is fruit-driven and on the round and creamy side of things, it'…

Strong oak aromas and flavors wrap around this full-bodied, rather tannic and bold Merlot. It shows ripe fruit flavors and a gripping texture that makes it appropriate to match with red meat. Blended…

A bit of apple, a bit of citrus, a bit of toast—things are just hinted at in this frothy sparkler which would make an ideal, dry-finishing but lively party wine.

Appealing aromas of blueberry and vanilla make for a very solid Bordeaux blend. Flavors of plum, cranberry and pomegranate lead into a licorice finish.

Confusingly labeled as Pivot Blanc (not Pinot Blanc), this is actually a Riesling! Off dry, lightly fruity, with pleasant flavors of lemon and breakfast tea, honey and chamomile, it's best consumed y…

Coconut, subtle oak, vanilla and mocha sensations take center stage on this full-bodied wine. The palate delivers plum cake, espresso, toast and licorice but it's short on fruit richness. Drink now t…

The notes of barnyard overwhelm the varietal's cherry, floral and herb tones, with the palate quite elegant in its styling. Tasted twice with consistent notes.

Rather closed aromas burn off in the glass to reveal mature black berry fruit and cooking spices. The palate delivers stewed plums, espresso and toasted oak alongside bracing tannins. Enjoy soon with…

Here's a fresh and fruity Ripasso that opens with lively aromas of black cherry, cassis, spice and dark vanilla bean. The wine also shows a touch of heat and jammy red fruit on the close.

A richly opulent blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. It is rich, almost too rich due to its low acidity, but with some attractive melon, green plum and peach fruits. The spice from wood adds inter…

An aggressive, forceful blend of one-third each Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc and Merlot that's scratchy and a bit green on the nose, but also very dark and heavy with berry aromas. Feels raw and tan…

A blend of Malbec, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon with lightly herbal red fruit aromas that come across reedy and foxy. Lively and a little scratchy in the mouth, with raspberry and buttery plum flavor…

There can be few Pinot Blancs that come in such a heavy bottle. Once the wine is poured, it's a fresh apple and cream wine, with attractive acidity and a soft aftertaste. Some toast shows through at…

Incredibly ripe and dried black cherry, strawberry, clove and smoke aromas give this bottling an almost port-like nose. The palate is similar, with prune and raisin touches, with cooked red fruit and…

Abundant fresh floral aromas such as violet and lilac show on the nose of this bottling, with black plum and candied grape notes. The palate is straightforward, all tangy plum flavors, enhanced by dr…

This was barrel fermented, and picked up a fair amount of oaky flavor as a result. The barrels overtake the light apple fruit, at least for now, but consider this as a fine, inexpensive alternative t…

This vineyard, and the AVA it occupies, is often characterized by some sharp metallic mineral-driven flavors. Here it seems just marginally ripe, with beet, black tea and metal dominating the astring…

A blend of 75% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot, 10% Canaiolo and 5% Colorino, this easygoing red opens with subtle black-skinned fruit and tilled soil scents. Smooth tannins frame the straightforward palate,…

The nose of this 80% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo and 10% Mammolo wine opens with black cherry and baking spice. The accessible palate delivers red plum fruit, clove spice and smooth tannins. Enjoy soon.
