A big and somewhat old-fashioned (in a good sense) wine with dark fruit and touches of chocolate and coffee; the finish turns up a little short. 1 Note

FEatures a deep bouquet of red currants and strawberries. Green tea and licorice accents add interest and the overall feel is bright yet full. Closes with mineral-chalk and licorice elements. 1 Note

A lighter style. Mild pepper and leather elements offset red-berry aromas. A nice acid backbone supports the fruit and the tart berry flavors are accented by vanilla and clove notes. The finish shows good length, more berry and mild pepper. 1 Note

After a two-year sabbatical, this side of the Mondavi family is back in the Sauvignon Blanc business … and quite successfully. This is a well-defined, clean, lemony wine. Citrus flavors dominate, and there’s a soft feel throughout from one-third barrel fermentation. A tasty bitter-almond flavor graces the finish. 1 Note

Round with a full, figgy nose and a harmonious blend of grapefruit, melon, and pear flavors. This medium-weight wine is perked up by a mineral note and spicy tang on the finish. 1 Note

Smells very fresh and fragrant, with pronounced gooseberry, citrus, straw, smoke, vanilla and peach aromas. This exuberantly spicy, fruity wine is very flavorful and dry, a little soft, but voluptuous and creamy. Most of the grapes come from St. Helena vineyards. 1 Note

Pineapple and vanilla oak on the nose. Subdued fruit flavors, a little flat in mouthfeel. Nice orangey nutty notes on the finish; not badly made, but overall a little clumsy with the oak, making the fruit seem casual. 1 Note

A thin, scraggly Zin, marked with faint berry flavors and dry tannins. Finishes astringent and watery. 1 Note

Pretty oaky on the nose. The follow-up offers good fruit, however, with cassis, blackberry and black cherry at the fore. Tannins are quite firm, and the finish is framed in toasty oak, licorice and spice. 1 Note
