Monterey grapes star in this juicy wine, with its bright flavors of tropical and citrus fruits, steely acidity, and spicy notes of toasty oak and vanilla. The yummy flavors float in a creamy-smooth texture. Taft Street has long been known as an overlooked find. Its Chardonnays have consistently scored well in our tastings. 1 Note

Pretty good wine for the price. Semi-sweet flavors of apricots, citrus fruits and spices are balanced with crisp, Central Coast acidity. 1 Note

Tastes over-oaked and under-fruity, with green, stalky flavors along with Lifesaver candy pineapples and lemons. Gets the Chardonnay job done, just barely. 1 Note

Dry, full-bodied and balanced, this Cab shows flavors of blackberries, currants, herbs, and cedar, leading to a spicy finish. At this price, it’s a great buy. 1 Note

Starts out with rough, earthy blackberry and cassis aromas, with deeper notes of plum and chocolate. Drinks very soft and velvety, almost too much so; seems to lack acidity and vibrancy. At this price, though, you can’t expect miracles. 1 Note

Pretty standard Cabernet, dry and thin, with blackberry and prune flavors. Still, it’s okay for the price. 1 Note

Good value in a dry, zesty Monterey Chardonnay. Marked by crisp, mouthwatering acidity, it offers simple flavors of tropical fruits, buttercream and vanilla. 1 Note

Sonoma Chard costing far more, this one showed off really well. Not as powerful in fruit, but dry and smooth, with delightful pineapple, crème brûlée, peaches and cream, and caramelized oak aromas and flavors. 1 Note

This is a fine value and actually a pretty nice Merlot. Dry and soft, it has very attractive flavors of cherries, cocoa, pepper and mint, and finishes with a nice, sweet touch of smoky vanilla. 1 Note
