There are some pretty plum, blackberry and coffee flavors in this dry wine. It’s full-bodied and assertive enough for a steak or a rich beef stew, which will give the rough tannins something to work against. Second label of Chalone. 1 Note

Good price for a Chard this nice. It’s creamy and tasty, with pineapple, pear and mineral flavors liberally accented with vanilla and buttered toast. Production was 16,000 cases. 1 Note

Simple and off-dry, this lemon and lime flavored wine has overtones of vanilla and peaches, and good acidity. 1 Note

This lovely Syrah could be one of your basic house reds. It’s dry and smooth, with pure flavors of blackberries, pepper, cocoa and oak. Firm and acidic enough to stand up to rich meats. 1 Note

They managed to get a lot of flavor and oak into this wine. It has flavors of peaches and sweet honeydew, with layers of smoke, vanilla and spice. Very clean and satisfying, and a good value. 1 Note

Who would have thought a few years ago you could buy a good Pinot at this price? Sure, it’s one dimensional, but satisfies with its silky texture, crisp acids, and cherry, cola and herb flavors. Nice value from the Chalone Wine Group. 1 Note

The Chalone Wine Group created the Echelon brand in 1997 to offer a range of inexpensive wines to complement Chalone’s single-vineyard bottlings. This Pinot Noir certainly tastes much better than its price would have you believe. With fruit coming mainly from growers in the cool-climate Santa Lucia Highlands above California’s Salinas Valley, the wine is packed with sweet strawberry and cherry flavors, layers of wood, and soft tannins. 1 Note

With its light, clean mouthfeel, zesty flavors of sweet apple and lime, and swift acidity, this is almost the perfect inexpensive cocktail wine. Fine with fresh fruits or shrimp cocktail, or just on its own. 1 Note
