* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A Gallo label, and a fine wine. Shows its warm origins in easily ripened fruit, big and rich in plums and blackberries, with soft tannins and acids. Yet it’s not a simple wine. It has depth and complexity, although a taste of raisins in the finish is bothersome.

Lots of rich, ripe tropical fruit flavors in this creamy, brisk wine. Vanilla, buttered toast and woodspice from oak add to the impact. There’s nothing subtle about this bold Chardonnay.

Jammy and fruity, a big, young, juicy wine with big flavors of cherries, cola, blackberries and sweetly spiced plums. Drinks rather thick and gluey, with overt sweetness.

A softly tannic wine with well-developed, jammy flavors of raspberries, cherries and blackberries. Made like an Aussie Shiraz, the wine is silky in the mouth.

Raw and simple, with cherry flavors that feel hot through the finish. But it’s clean and dry.

From Gallo’s Central Coast brand, a lean, tart and minerally Chardonnay marked by flavors of flint and lime just veering into tart green apple. Extremely well made, and not without interest, but if big, blowsy Chards are your thing, look elsewhere.

Showing moderate body and made in a drier style, the wine offers a hint of earthiness that’s followed by pretty melon, peach, herb and citrus flavors. Crisp and clean on the finish, with a toasty, fruity hint at the end. More complex than many of the local Rieslings.

At 21,000 cases, this might be the biggest production Pinot Noir in the county. This good, introductory-level Pinot has a silky mouthfeel and crisp, refined flavors of raspberry, cherry and beet. Don’t look for complexity. Just enjoy.

While one reviewer called it “nice, simple stuff,” another found it to have “a slight funk, like rotting hay.” All agreed it’s basic Pinot—tart berries and dried spices—at a fair price.

Smells oaky and sweet, tastes oaky and sweet. Other features include apple and peach flavors, a gingery spiciness and a rich, creamy mouthfeel. It’s also round and mellow in the mouth. —S.H.
