Hovey's Petite offers mountainous tannins that are still soft and structured, mellowed by the bright red raspberry and blackberry fruit encased in baking spice.
Dry, oaky and minerally, this Chardonnay shows intensely focused Meyer lemon, lime, Asian pear and golden apricot flavors, whose acidity makes it savory. One-third new oak gives it a vanilla and butt…
TA firm minerality, like the tang of cold steel, derives from Spring Mountain's soil. That metallic note adds an interesting dimension to the wine's fruitier flavors of apricots, mangoes and peaches.…
Flavor is what this Zin is all about. It's deep and long in blackberry jam, black currants, raisins, cassis liqueur and black-pepper spice, along with a hint of smoky oak. The tannins are firm and th…
Opening with opulent red fruit and soft tannins, this estate-grown Tempranillo has a big presence of tobacco and pepper. With well-integrated oak it's full-bodied yet understated, opening its layers…
This Cab has the fruity concentration of its famous mountain origin, and is explosive in blackberries, blueberries and currants, along with plenty of caramelized oak. It's also quite tannic, which gi…

An unusual blend of 59% Sauvignon Blanc and 41% Chardonnay, this wine opens with a creamy mousse and flavors of ripe apple. Crisp, soft and medium bodied, it's textured and good at hiding the larger…
Give this Cab credit for immensely ripe, fruit flavors of blackberries, cherries, currants and cocoa. Rich in oak, it finishes dry despite the opulence. It's hard to find anything particularly Ruther…
This is a very good Cabernet, dry, full-bodied and rich in black currants. But it's not the Landslide of the early and mid-2000s. The vineyard, in the southern Alexander Valley, remains the same, but…
This is a concentrated wine, ripe and rich in black cherry, cranberry and oak. It resolves itself into a lighter texture and body on the finish.
There's a real bite of lime juice that brightens the ripe raspberry and persimmon flavors on this Pinot Noir. Pair with rich meats and cheeses for balance.
A very good Mendocino County Cabernet, Kimmel is tightly tannic with an elegant backbeat. The palate is very savory in its cranberry, herb and dark berry fruit flavors. Full bodied with layers of con…

This winery's Santa Barbara bottling has established a track record as a fine, elegant Pinot Noir at a fair price. It's not one you need to age, but it shows a clean, pure approach, with a silky mout…
You could use this wine as a textbook Dry Creek Zin. Ripe and delicious with briary blackberry, cherry, cola and currant flavors that persist through a long, spicy finish. The tannins are furry, givi…
Made in a high-alcohol, extracted style, this Petite is explosive in blackberry jam, currant and spice flavors. The tannins are brisk, as you'd expect with this variety, while a pleasant streak of ac…
Soft, sweet and smooth, a nice Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine to drink now. The palate is stellar, offering waves of cherries, raspberries, mocha, licorice and buttered cinnamon toast.
A gentle but flashy reserve-style Cabernet for drinking now. It's rich in blackberry jam, currants and anise, with touches of smoky oak. The acid-tannin structure gives it the refinement of an upscal…
This playful, drink-now blend of 64% Counoise and 36% Cinsault is great for those seeking to try lesser known Rhône varieties. Rose petals, plum blossoms, hibiscus and gamy notes entertain the nose.…
This small-production, nouveau-style wine was made without oak or filtering. Simple and juicy, it's festive, with effusive dried cranberry and cola spice notes that are soft and easygoing.
Reductive oak betrays this wine's light-bodied take on the appellation. Its waxy green apple flavor and bright acidity are deftly wrapped in toastiness.
A light earthy aroma and enjoyable savory flavors suggesting dried herbs, bouillon and canteloupe characterize this deceptively full-bodied, dry wine. It has a nervy, crisp texture, great acidity and…
Rounded peach, cider apple, chalk and seltzer aromas mix with a touch of yeast on the nose of this bottling. There's a racy, tactile acidity on the palate, lending depth to its dried apple, pear and…
