Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This has the sharp, citrus skin phenolics characteristic of many Viogniers, but a rather soft middle tastes like green bananas more than citrus. Those banana flavors roll into the finish, then quickly fade.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A blend of five diverse red grapes, this lightly fruity quaffer is almost invisible as far as flavor is concerned. It hits the tongue and vanishes.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Scents of plum and cassis lead into a tart wine with acidic, tannic, black cherry fruit flavors. The acids are quite chalky, and the tannins chewy and slightly green.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A grapey wine, forward with light, pretty cherry candy flavors. It starts out well, then doesn’t build into anything, but rather fades quickly into a watery, generic red.

Agate Ridge Petite Sirah - 2007

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Relatively low in alcohol (12.2% is the listing), this is thin on fruit but does offer soft flavors of yeasty bread dough, along with some stemmy tannins.

Agate Ridge Pinot Noir - 2007

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
There is a bit of sweetness which gives a quick impression of body to the light, cherry-flavored fruit. Once in the mouth the wine quickly fades, leaving just an astringent aftertaste with no particular varietal character.

Agate Ridge Grenache - 2008

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Light and lemony, this simple, tangy white wine has some pretty, fresh baked bread scents, but inviting as they are, the wine feels acidic and one dimensional in the mouth. Lemon/lime is the prevailing flavor.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Not as fleshy as many examples of this southern Rhône blend, this shows thin, generic fruit with no particular focus.
