En Meritage som er 50 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 50 % Merlot, denne vinen er full av læraktige toner—fortsatt seig, men med mye godt meningsfylt struktur og stor bjørnebærsmak.

87–89. Tønneprøve. Med faste tanniner sammen med syre og friskhet, er dette en livlig, røykfylt vin som avsluttes med intens, saftig syre.

87–89. Fatsamplet. Denne vinen er solid og mørk med bitre tanniner som gir en hard kant til de modenere bjørnebærfruktene. En tett vin som har en veldig tørr kjerne.

Det er et svakt hint av rosa i fargen på denne lyse, glade, lette og appetittvekkende vinen. Den kombinerer innslag av sprø grønn eple med moden pære, gyllen kirsebær og hvit fersken for et vell av d…

Denne har den vakre fargen av rosa kobber, en delikat gjæraktig aroma; og rike, søte smaker av jordbær, lime og toast. Den er litt riperende på ganen. Blandingen er nesten like deler Pinot Noir og Ch…

A distinctive aroma like ripe peaches and fennel and full, almost sweet fruit and spice flavors give this medium-bodied wine personality. The texture is soft and luscious rather than lively, and prac…

Honey and fresh orange zest aromas and flavors drive this nicely balanced fortified Muscat. There's a pleasing weightiness to it on the palate, and a slightly creamy texture to go with the pristine f…

A big, burly rich wine, dominated by Syrah and by wood tannins. It is fruity, full of black plums and boysenberries, low in acidity, but structured with some good tannins. It's a wine to drink now.

Made by Paso Robles-based Ranchero from old vine Carignan grown in Mendocino's Redwood Valley, this still-young rendition of this rough and tumble Old World grape is densely rich and textured with ar…

Sometimes said to be the world's most southerly vineyard—it's certainly one of the most southerly vineyards—Last Chance is also fairly elevated. It's a difficult plot to ripen, and always seems a bit…

This is a big Pinot Noir, full-bodied and dry, and a little heavy. But it's rich, offering delicious waves of cherries, raspberries, red currants, licorice, cola and savory spices. Unclear if it will…
