Aged in just one-third new French oak, this mostly shows the fruit, along with notes of green herbs, plum and currant accented by vanilla. The palate is medium bodied, slightly viscous in feel with a…

Citrus freshness and frothy fizz make for an easygoing, feather-light and uncomplicated sparkler, perfect for informal gatherings. The finish is dry, clean and refreshing.

Lean and crisp, with lime and green apple notes that finish clean and refreshing. Devoid of much sweetness, this is a relentlessly dry Riesling, linear in profile and sharply focused.

Zucca has made a fragrant and floral Sangiovese Rosato here, dry like cherry jam on toast and a nutty finish. Pair it with tropically seasoned seafood.

Here's a big, lusty Syrah, unapologetic for its lush, ripe flavors and easy deliciousness. It's so fruity in cherries, blackberries, cola and dark chocolate, it's almost a dessert wine, except that i…

This is a sharp, dry, peppery style, with strong suggestions of caraway and grain. Tightly wound fruit pokes at citrus and melon, and there is a touch of bitterness in the finish.

This is a well-structured Zinfandel-based blend with a wild streak and significant amounts of Carignane and Charbono. It has spicy, earthy, new-leather aromas, modest fruit flavors and a firmly tanni…

Blackberry, cedar, peppercorn and herb aromas come through on the nose of this savory blend of 65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Dry and tart black plum skin flavor kicks off…

Deep, saturated color and chocolate-covered cherry flavor make this wine a treat to drink, but don't expect a traditional dry dinner wine. It's turbocharged with sweetness and has a boisterous but ag…

This full-bodied wine has big aromas like baking spices, prunes and figs, while flavors recalling maple syrup and chocolate seem to coat the palate. Although technically dry, it feels sweet and lush.

Coming in at just under 13% alcohol, this is a dry, Provence-styled rosé marked by crisp strawberry and citrus flavors. Ending on a refreshing, slightly chalky-mineral note, this would make a fun sum…

A bit rugged in texture, with some jagged tannins, but the blackberry and cherry fruit is just fine, and the finish is dry and complex. Decant this young wine for a few hours to take the edge off.

This pure varietal wine conjures up apple and pear juice, finished dry and crisply defined. There is no particular nuance to it, but it's well made and quite quaffable.

Smoke and dusty minerals meld into tart, green gooseberry and lime flavors on the palate of this brisk, dry Silvaner. It's a fine-footed wine showing varietally characteristic notes of citrus and fre…

This is a perfumed wine that is soft, full of red cherry fruit and gentle tannins. It does have a dry core that gives the wine shape and there is plenty of juicy fruitiness at the end. The wine is ma…

This hugely structured wine is solid with tannins. It has a dark, dry texture that is still masking the potential of the fruits. It is developing those blackberry flavors slowly and will need some ti…

A pace off the 2007, but a pretty good Zin. Despite being a little too soft and candy-sweet, it sure is tasty, offering an array of ripe wild red berry, currant, licorice, cocoa, spice and sandalwood…

A nice, bright and savory Sauvignon Blanc, rich in fruit but dry on the finish. Shows waves of Meyer lemon, pineapple, kiwi, honeysuckle and vanilla flavors, accented with a touch of oak. Enjoyable o…

Classic old-fashioned California Barbera. It's super-dry, hard in tannins and high in acidity. All that gives it a rather tough mouthfeel, but it should develop for 20 years. Good with tomato-based p…

The nose is very shy: The wines still needs waking up and only comes alive slowly with a little air. The flavors on the palate seem subdued but there is customary Riesling freshness. The finish is dr…

Made entirely from Syrah, this has a restrained nose that reveals baking spice and licorice aromas as it opens. The palate is more assertive, offering clove, ground black pepper and powdered sage not…

The nose of this wine is deep in blackberry and black cherry aromas that mingle effortlessly with cedar. A cedar flavor also comes through on the palate, blending with pomegranate and red plum. Struc…

The winery's Saralee's bottling has been variable over the years. The '06 is tasty and eminently drinkable if you want a nice, dry, crisp Pinot. It's pale in color, silky in the mouth, and direct in…

On the dry side, this medium-bodied kabinett clocks in at 11% alcohol but seems balanced anyway, with peach and pear aromas and flavors given complexity through notes of smoke, clover blossom and min…
