Tastes a bit forward and simple right now in cherry pie filling, raspberry tart, framboise and orange datenut cookie flavors, with a silky texture and fine, ripe tannins. Could develop interesting bo…
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.…
Nice and familiar, and very much in the sweet, creamy style. There's almond candy and caramel on the palate and then maple syrup on the finish. Soft and sweet throughout, with just enough acidity and…
Aromas of white peach, nectarine and vanilla bean join fresh fruit flavors backed by nuances of caramel, vanilla and crème brûlée. There's nice round mouthfeel and a creamy yet clean finish.
Way too oaky, with buttered toast, honey and caramel flavors dominating. The underlying wine, which is crisp in acidity and suggests limes, peaches and apricots, just isn't strong enough to handle al…
Voluptuous and heady, this lychee and mango-scented wine balances juicy tropical fruit flavor with a hefty dose of spice. It's expansive on the palate with a rich, textured mouthfeel, but tightened w…
This is a good but pretty ordinary Chardonnay despite its famous Rochioli brand name. It's creamy and forward in apricot and orange jam, pineapple custard and sweet oak flavors, with good acidity.
It shows ripe, jammy raspberry and cherry fruit and oak, but it lacks structure. The flamboyant fruit and Napa elegance lend some appeal.
This semi-dry red wine is garnet in color, with aromas of red cherry and red raspberry plus lifted top notes of eucalyptus and mint. In the mouth, flavors of red raspberry and black currant shine bri…
The scent of apple blossoms perfume this round, richly structured wine, accentuating flavors of apple and pear on the palate. Touches of vanilla and cream add weight and mouthfeel, but the wine finis…
Intense tropical fruit aromas are punctuated by notes of honeysuckle and jasmine. The juicy palate offers pineapple, mango, banana and citrus with a hint of mineral alongside fresh acidity.
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…
Initially this wine is flat and a bit chemical on the nose, but with time lime and tropical fruit aromas poke through. The mouthfeel is round but a little bland and broken up, while flavors of yeasty…
Made from 100% Grenache grapes, it was made in a tiny amount of 50 cases. It offers an almost grenadine-like flavor amidst a core of peach intensity. Softly textured, it's super enjoyable and would g…
Ripe, soft wine, deliciously rounded with fresh white and green fruits combining into a creamy herbaceousness. There is a final tang to this concentrated, full wine. Screwcap.
From a single vineyard just behind the line of Grand Cru vineyards, this is superior Chablis, wood aging bringing an attractive toasty character. It has green plum fruits to give balancing freshness.…
Bold Malbec with aromas of berry liqueur, cassis and black cherry. The palate is fresh in feel, with some edginess and snappy acids. Tastes full of berry fruit, creamy oak and vanilla, while the fini…
A delightful, light, strawberry wine. It has a bright, bubbly character and acidity that gives extra life to this classic apéritif wine. There is just a hint of softness from the fruit to finish.
Light and pleasant, with aromas mixing baked pears, citrus and honeycomb, this is really a lovely wine for the price. The fruit flavors follow consistently, pears and apples with a hint of citrus, cl…
Jessiaume is based in Santenay and the wine shows the attraction of this village at the southern end of the Côte de Beaune. It reveals soft fruit, warmed by a jammy layer of red berries and ripe acid…
This is an appealing Chardonnay. It's a little sweet in apricot jam, peach, green apple, honey and buttered toast flavors, but the sweetness is balanced with crisp, citrusy acidity and a nice cut of…
A little tough and gritty around the edges, a rustic wine rich in extracted cherry and blackberry jam flavors. Plenty of strong tannins and zippy acidity too. Feels unresolved, and the question is wh…
This is crisp in acidity, tasting slightly sweet in citrus and apricot jam, with notes of green pepper and gooseberry that provide balancing complexity. It has the versatility to pair with a wide ran…
It's easy to imagine drinking this wine—and really enjoying it—in Paso Robles with a grilled steak. It's rich, heady and ripe in black currants, with a Port-like, raisiny taste.
