Very bright and pure, with high acid that makes the wine clean and vibrant all the way through the finish, this Viognier bursts with tropical fruits, limes, wildflowers, honey and vanilla bean. Reall…
There's lots of rich, jammy blackberry, cherry and oak flavor in this Merlot, with a gentle scour of firm tannins. It's not an ager, but offers plenty of upfront pleasure for drinking now.
An easy, delicious Pinot Noir, this is dry and brisk in acidity, with rich cherry, cola, cranberry and sweet oak flavors. The silky texture makes it especially drinkable now.
Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon make up most of this blend. Aromas of vanilla, spice and red and black fruit lead to soft-feeling fruit and barrel flavors that put a focus on elegance.
Malbec makes up 73% of this blend, with 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Dried herb and cedar give it an herbaceous character. Soft, moderate acidity provides a backbone again…
Fresh and forward flavors mix rhubarb, ripe strawberries and sweet Bing cherries. This vibrant wine finishes with a refreshing snap of acidity, making it a pleasure to drink.
This dry light-bodied wine smells very fresh—even green—and tastes like tart green apples, white pepper and fresh parsley. It has very crisp acidity and a mouth-puckering texture that will make it a…
Floral, fresh and just big enough to make it worth a go. There's a bit of everything to this nice-priced Cab, including leafiness, red fruit, toast, chocolate and cassis. There's also a bit of heat a…
A good wine, not a great one, that shows why Petit Verdot on its own is hard to make into a complete wine, although from a marketing point of view, it has a certain tale to tell. Midnight dark in col…
This Dolcetto from the Vantrino Albarella vineyard offers a simple and easy approach, laced with plush fruit and natural richness as it makes its way down the palate. Try it with fried zucchini flowe…
The millennial vintage of Campora (Cabernet Sauvignon) is understated in an elegant way and doles out measured aromas of dried fruit, prune, strawberry tart and spice. It's a lighter style, making it…
With an edge of sweet red currants and slightly sugared herb tea, this Zin can't really be called completely dry. But the tannin-acid balance is very fine, and makes the wine balanced and enjoyable.…
Guidoalberto is the “pocketbook-friendly” alternative from the same estate that makes Sassicaia. But for $60, you could ask for more. This is a chewy, succulent wine with good length on the close. Th…
The winery has struggled with Pinot made from this warm, sunny highland appellation, which is more suitable for Zinfandel. Their '06 is a savory wine, dry and rich in cherries and oak, with a silky t…
In vintage after vintage, the winery has chosen to make this blush wine heavier than most rosés in California. They've done so again in 2013, giving a darkly colored, fruity wine you could almost dri…
Though it makes up only a fifth of the wine, Cabernet Sauvignon seems to win out in this largely Bordeaux-style blend with notes of mixed herbs, mint and green tea. Lighter in style, it offers a fres…
Made in a soft, user-friendly style, the 2008 DB Family Selection Petite Sirah offers up a flavorful mouthful of plum and baking spices. It's medium-bodied, with a silkiness to the structure that bel…
A brisk, bright Chardonnay, made in the Testarossa style of ripe fruit and oakiness. What it lacks in subtlety it makes up for in the sheer power of tangerine, pineapple and tropical fruit flavors, e…
Flavors of fresh apple and pear appear among light dusting of cinnamon spice. This makes for a wonderful quaffer.
You'll find an herbal note in this wine, suggesting sweet green peas and dried herbs alongside riper touches of blackberry and cherry. Although it's pretty tannic, it's soft, making it drinkable now.…
Bright and lemony, this has tight acidity and layers of toasty caramel and vanilla. This will pair with a wide range of dinner options and would make for a worthy go-to midweek wine.
A well-balanced Chardonnay, this has flavors of tropical fruit, apricot and lemon candy, brightened by that famous Edna Valley acidity. This would make for a great apéritif.
Dusty apple and baking-spice aromas along with vanilla notes make for a good nose. This feels plump and chunky, but not out of shape. Slightly salty flavors of white fruits and green herbs finish yea…
