Joined by 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, this stellar wine from an almost 50-50 Napa-Sonoma divide delivers big flavor and tannin and yet exudes vibrant juicy plum and blueberry, keeping it grounded and aliv…
This inky purple dessert wine delivers high-toned fruit flavors of blueberry, blackberry jam, cinnamon, mocha and vanilla. Chewy tannins offer support and close on a nutmeg note.
Crème brûlée informs the creamy backbone of an otherwise high-toned Chardonnay, the acidity brisk on the palate without veering over the edge. Layers of apple and pear give additional lift in between…
Aromas of pencil lead and lemony oak vie with jammy, raisiny scents. This is a live-wire wine with energy flowing across a jumpy palate. Ripe cassis and blackberry flavors show a licorice note, while…
The nose is still emerging on this bottling by the historic estate, but nectarine, white and yellow flowers and a touch of cantaloupe are starting to peek out. The flavors dance between acidity and r…
Pretty scents of rosewater, raspberries and cherries introduce this light and pleasing wine. It carries some of the charm of a good strawberry soda, with forward fruit and a delicate frame. That said…
A subdued nose offers whiffs of leather, tobacco, black plum and an earthy note of game. The palate delivers blackberry, prune, white pepper and savory herb. It's already accessible with smooth, almo…
Candied cherry, cola, wild mint and anise swirl into a layered nose on this wine by a duo of relatively new winemakers, Ian Sergy and Zach Jarosz. Light coffee, clove-spiced berry juice and cinnamon-…
Another wildly complicated Pinot Noir from Bradley Brown, this smells of crimini mushrooms, smoldering chemise and sweet cherry tomato reduction sauce, with a pinch of cinnamon. It's lush with soft r…
Josh Jensen was the first to plant this alternative Burgundian white varietal in America, and this bottling offers notes of honeyed apricot juice, ripe nectarines and melons and toasted almonds. It's…
Cottonwood Canyon specializes in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, but they also have three acres of Syrah in their Santa Maria vineyard. The result in this bottling offers aromas blending red fruit with mi…
Honey, crisp lemon and poached apple make for an excellent nose on this blend of 31% Marsanne, 26% Roussanne, 22% Grenache Blanc, 11% Viognier and 10% Picpoul. The flavors are equally impressive, wit…
There's a nice touch of green pasilla chile on the nose of this wine, with red currant undertones. The peppery elements consume the palate as well, giving it a more distinct and food-friendly nature…
Forward and nicely rounded off, this brings spicy cherry and cranberry fruit front and center. There are well-integrated streaks of herb, a dash of stem, and a dusting of white pepper. Give it an hou…
Longboard shies away from overt fruit in favor of earthier tobacco flavors in this dry, complex and tannic young Pinot Noir. That doesn't mean you won't find plenty of raspberries and cherries. The w…
This is a new wine brand from Muxagat. It shows a strong, perfumed character along with tight minerality. Bitter chocolate suggests some extraction, giving a wine with firm structure. At the same tim…
A massive and concentrated wine that is held together by its dark, very dry tannic structure. It shows weight and superripe blackberry flavors that are cut with acidity. Complex and rich, it is likel…
An impressive, dark—almost black—wine that has the power to support the color. Solid tannins and ripe black fruits come easily together, offering a dense texture and rich feel. With its smooth charac…
Rich and delicious, this single-vineyard Chardonnay features ripe flavors of pears, mangoes, oranges, pineapples and new oak. The acidity is spot on. Flashy and opulent, it's an impressive Chardonnay…
This red blend commences with aromas of red currant, black berries, spice and blue flower. The spicy palate delivers black pepper, nutmeg, sour cherry and ripe raspberry sensations that are restraine…
The tannins on this Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend are strong. They numb the mouth, but not so much that you can't enjoy the ripe black currant, cassis and smoky oak flavors. With its inherent balanc…
While this bottling is always interesting, it is dependent on vintage conditions. This bottling, from the excellent 2012 harvest, is Windstream's best ever, a provocative example of a cool-climate Pi…
Some Pinot Noirs are soft and lush. Others are lean and tart. This Pinot is a little of both. A blend of the winery's three single-vineyard 2011s, it shows the qualities of them all. The result is dr…
This well-regarded vineyard shines here, ripening the grapes fully in a challenging vintage. Raspberry and cherry flavors are joined with a streak of red licorice. Among the 2013s from Purple Hands,…
