Good and dry, if a bit rugged in texture, with a scoury, tart mouthfeel. The flavors are of blackberries, currants and herbs. A sound, full-bodied red wine at an everyday price. 1 Note

A wallop of a wine, packed with flavorful lemon and lime, ginger, pepper, and yellow stone fruits, especially peaches and apricots. There’s a nice, creamy mouthfeel that lasts through the long, ripe finish. Good value. 1 Note

For those who like their Sauvignon Blancs bone dry, high in acidity and with nervy gooseberry and juniper berry flavors. It really gets those tastebuds flowing. 1 Note

Carmel Valley is a little pocket of sunny warmth in cool Monterey County, and it’s been known as a good source of Cabernet for years. This example got ripe and expressive, with forward berry flavors and a hint of oak. It’s too soft and so drinks a little flabby. That’s its biggest problem, along with a weak finish. 1 Note

Dark color. Has pretty black-currant aromas with oak shadings. Very tart and astringent now, with tannins and a sharp acid bite, but it has the stuffing to soften up and gain complexity through midterm aging. 1 Note

Shows an affinity to Galante’s more expensive Cab bottlings, although it’s not as rich or ageworthy despite the tannins. There are flavors of blackberries and currants, and the wine is balanced and clean. 1 Note

Tastes basically like Chardonnay, with peaches and cream, pineapple and smoky vanilla flavors. But a nutty cashew note and citrusy acidity set it apart. 1 Note

A very interesting wine from a rarely-seen appellation. The fruit is distinctly wild berry—huckleberry maybe—with spice and good acid. But the finish has a bitter, metallic note that lingers unpleasantly. 1 Note
