Campfire smoke punctuates the opening of this intensely dense wine. It veers into jammy, syrupy territory, red and black berry fruit exploding at its juicy core.
Soft and creamy, this wine has a line of acidity that gives it great lift. Lime and ripe apples go with green plums to give both freshness and a tangy character. It's a wine to age a few months; drin…
Damp forest and dried cherry with cranberry combine on the nose and palate in this wine, sourced predominantly from Monterey County. Soft and silky it risks veering off balance once the oak begins to…
This cuvée is a barrel selection, fermented with whole berries and aged in 35% new oak. Simple strawberry and raspberry fruit seems almost weightless, and the quick finish carries a strong streak of…
A dusty, yeasty nose is simplistic but friendly. On the palate, this foams up in an aggressive manner, yet orange and peach flavors ride a wave of bubbly foam towards a lightly citrusy but plump fini…
Though tart and chalky, this has interesting notes of rose petals and saddle leather, with light berry fruit. It does show varietal specificity, but the wine fades quickly and lacks concentration.
Soft and fruity, this has broad red-fruit flavors. Acidity, light tannins and a ripe, perfumed character from the blend of Syrah and Touriga Nacional make it rich and warming.
Soft and diffuse, this offers light flavors of pear with a hint of spice. Done entirely in stainless steel, it's a good, all-purpose white.
Dusty aromas include notes of apple cider, cured meat and cumin. A loosely built palate features slightly mealy, lightly bitter flavors of pithy citrus and mango, while the finish is plump but not te…
Yeasty, slightly stalky aromas of melon, citrus and peach are simple yet fresh. This feels solid, pulpy and fleshy, but not flabby; flavors of melon, papaya and white grapefruit finish pithy and slig…
While this is largely neutral-smelling, it's flush in the mouth, with pithy citrus and green apple flavors. Lasting and steady on the finish, this blend of Chardonnay and Muscat is juicy and alert af…
With good acidity, this is a crisp, dry style of Pinot Gris. Plenty of spice and tropical fruits give richness to this fresh wine.
If you want spicy, lychee-flavored Gewurztraminer, look no further. The wine is laced with bergamot, with a medium-dry fruit character and balanced freshness at the end. It's ready to drink.
This off-dry wine presents a great balance between the spicy flavors and the tropical fruits. It's a lightly textured wine, already accessible, with a touch of pepper at the end along with just enoug…
Caramel and vanilla wrap around generously ripe flavors of apple, pear and tropical papaya. Entirely fermented in oak, its wood provides a medium-bodied mouthfeel and ample accents of sweetness and s…
This is rounded, soft and textured with spice and pepper. Acidity gives freshness while leaving the wine full in the mouth and generous in character. It's for drinking now.
This dense wine opens with aromas of blackberry, blueberry and a touch of vanilla. The extracted palate offers dried dark cherry, bitter almond and a hint of clove alongside drying, astringent tannin…
This blend of 70% Montepulciano and 30% Sangiovese opens with earthy aromas of tilled soil, underbrush and ripe black fruit. Ripe black cherry and raspberry flavors are layered with chocolate and esp…
Briny aromas of lime, jalapeño and minerals filter into a juicy, acidic palate with flavors that match the nose: briny citrus, lime and bell pepper. A narrow feeling finish turns pithy and bitter the…
Structured, mineral and tense, this is a classic Pouilly Fuissé. It has lemon and crisp sliced white fruits, very linear in character with a bright, tight texture. The wine is young and could age unt…
Jadot's take on Burgundy Chardonnay is fruity and creamy. Juicy, intense acidity comes from the crisp apple and white peach fruits. A touch of wood aging softens the fruit and broadens the character…
Made principally from Touriga Nacional, this is a rich wine with attractive acidity and strawberry fruitiness. It is ripe, touched with caramel and finished with wild raspberry flavors.
The easy-to-find Gnarly Head, a blend of 50% Zinfandel, 20% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petite Sirah and 3% Syrah, is young and ready to drink.Its fruity nose and peppery spice tmakes it a fu…
Light and tart, with high acid cranberry fruit flavors. It's clean and straightforward, though the old vines (some are 34 years old) do not deliver the complexity that might be anticipated.
