This wine is equal parts Viognier and Roussanne. It offers light aromas of peach and apricot that are followed by full-bodied flavors that show some warmth and bitterness on the finish.

Aromas of Mediterranean scrub, violet, wild berry and a whiff of menthol lead the nose on this bright, easygoing red. The racy, straightforward palate offers sour cherry, pomegranate and a hint of st…

Sweeter whiffs of milk chocolate, baking spice and graham cracker accenting black fruit on the nose are replaced by more herbaceous tones of herb and bramble on the palate of this red blend. It's a j…

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.

Quite firm and focused, with a dominating scent of cut tobacco. The black cherry fruit is set against juicy acids, and rolls into a finish with streaks of licorice and more of that cut tobacco flavor.

A firm and well-structured Merlot with intriguing notes of woody spice and cigar tobacco woven into the black plum and dark berry flavors. Medium weight in the mouth with gripping tannins and a long,…

Nothing subtle about this big, ripe, oaky Chardonnay. It shows the tropical fruit richness of a fine Alexander Valley Chard, flamboyant in pineapple custard flavor, with a flinty minerality. The swee…

Rich, deliciously fruity and ripe, this combines warmth with a more mineral undertow that cuts through the palate, creating a wine that is refreshing and mouth-filling. It would be worth aging for tw…

Forward and fruity, this is a tight, tart wine with a jumble of berry and bramble flavors. It's peppery, spicy, but don't look for too much complexity. Gulp it down for the enjoyable quaffer that it'…

This is a bit lighter than the previous vintage, offering tart red-berry fruit, accented with a note of fresh herb. The chocolaty barrel accents smooth out the midpalate and lead into a pleasant fini…

Strong scents and flavors of oak and spice mask the fruit. It feels a bit flat on the palate, as if heading toward early oxidation. The oak and butterscotch flavors carry through onto the finish. Two…

The nose is spicy and enticing, with highlights of pineapple and grapefruit. On the palate, the fruit is tart but nicely balanced, with defining acidity and a finishing pat of butter.

Rich fruit aromas of yellow apple flesh, mealy pear and banana lead the bouquet, with a hint of grapefruit pith in the background. The palate is tangier and more lifted than the nose suggests, with b…

This is 100% varietal. It has muscle and mass, with tart purple and black fruits wrapped into layers of earth and slightly metallic tannins. There is a green streak but it adds complexity and is not…

After almost losing a finger struggling to remove the rock-hard faux wax “capsule” I found this strawberry/cherry cordial-flavored wine quite pleasant. The fruit, from a Rattlesnake Hills vineyard, h…

A scintillating scent of rose petals opens up this pleasing wine, which continues with raspberry and cherry fruit, accented with light milk chocolate. It is not a heavy wine; in fact, if Franc can ev…

At first high-toned, this opens nicely with crisp green apple fruit flavors. It's balanced and clear. Don't look for big, blowsy tropical flavors or buttery oak, though the barrel fermentation provid…

The Chardonnay in this blend with Vermentino creates a smooth, unctuous texture. Acidity and richness combine to bring out citrus and apricot flavors. The end delivers a zesty, mineral tang. Drink no…

This producer has a number of estates in Sancerre. This estate, bearing his own name, has produced a delicate, crisp and fruity wine. Its acidity and tight texture make this wine really food friendly.

This is a smooth, ripe and generous wine befitting southern Merlot. It has just the right amount of acidity, black currant fruitiness and a smoky aftertaste.

This spicy, strongly perfumed wine is full of fruit and juicy acidity. It's dry and structured, with a firm backdrop of tannins. It will be great for the winter.

There's a touch of wet earth or forest floor that gives this wine a brambly but rustic feel. Aromas include leather, old spice, prune, tobacco and teriyaki sauce. Pair this wine with meat dishes mari…

On the nose, this suggests thyme, toasted nut and ripe orchard fruit. The firm palate offers mature citrus zest and ripe pear flavors while a bitter almond note marks the finish.

The name is a reference to the youngest member of the family, obviously a lively kid. The wine is pretty lively as well with plenty of bright acidity, crisp red fruits and just a touch of caramel. Dr…
