Cepas Vellas refers to old vines, but what's most noticeable on this wine is the popcorn and cream that characterizes both the nose and mouth. In between the oak-aided folds there's melon, waxy papay…
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…
Made with native grapes Ripoli, Fenile and Ginestra, this concentrated, lumbering wine opens with aromas of oak, citrus and dried apricot. The dense palate offers oak extract, candied lemon, toast, a…
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.
Perfumed and aromatic, this fruity red shows a good sense of structure. Flavors include Mediterranean herbs redolent of lavender as well as red plum, along with a dry core. The wine is ready to drink.
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…
It shows ripe, jammy raspberry and cherry fruit and oak, but it lacks structure. The flamboyant fruit and Napa elegance lend some appeal.
A blend of 80% Grillo and 20% Viognier, this conveys heady aromas of fragrant white flowers, exotic fruit and apricot. The palate delivers rich yellow peach, mango and citrus with a hint of sweet van…
Blended from Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Counoise, it's a little rustic but a bit fancy, with black cherry, leather, pepper and sandalwood flavors. Drink up.
A vibrantly aromatic wine with notes of dried apricot and fresh flowers. It's full bodied, weighty in feel with the flavor concentration dissipating toward the warm finish.
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…
Aromas recall lemon blossom, hay and citrus. The succulent palate offers white peach and apple accented with a light mineral note. It ends with a hint of apricot.
Single vineyard Zinfandel from a young vineyard on the Columbia River, this is pretty rather than powerful, smooth and chocolaty, with bright, tight raspberry fruit.
The palest pink grey in color, it is ripe and caramel flavored. Sweet red fruits give a soft texture, full-bodied and rounded. The aftertaste is all fruit.
Some lemon-zest texture characterizes this otherwise rounded wine. It has good bright fruitiness, a hint of wood and full white fruit flavors. It needs to age, so drink from early 2015.
Ripe scents of spiced wild strawberry, raspberry and herbal tea lead onto the lush medium- to full-bodied palate, which tastes concentrated and lively. The long finish is marked by a tangy orange-zes…
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…
Whiffs of spice and dark toast lend warmth to ripe black cherry aromas on this Syrah-Viognier blend. The palate is brisk with tart cassis and plum flavors wrapped up tightly within layers of mouthfil…
A scent of desiccated black fruit hits the nose first, followed by touches of herbal tea and dark cherry. A wild blend of Syrah, Petite Sirah, Tempranillo, Alicante and Mourvèdre, this has a concentr…
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…
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…
