Soft and chocolaty-fruity, like the wine version of a health food power bar, with raspberry, mocha, roasted almond and spice flavors. Easy to drink with just about anything that needs a full-bodied red.

Direct and bold in cherries, raspberries, chocolate and spices, this is a tasty Syrah. The richness is wrapped into fine, sweet tannins, with a tweet of smoky oak. Drink now.

Rhône white blends are among the toughest to pull off in California, but Atmosphere does a terrific job. Among the top of its class, it’s bone dry, crisp and minerally, with subtle, complex flavors of white peach, papaya, fig, vanilla and buttercream flavors. Really good. Try as an alternative to a rich Chardonnay.

A first-rate Sauvignon Blanc. Bone dry and crisp and clean in mouthwatering acidity, it has wonderfully complex gooseberry, lime, grapefruit and kiwi flavors. Among the top of its class, and a great value.

A worthy followup to the 2008, showing crisp acidity and rich flavors of citrus fruits, New Zealand-style gooseberries, and vanilla spice, with a honey sweet finish. Drink now with Vietnamese food or sushi.

Superrich in tangerine, peach, lime, mango and honey flavors, this Rhône-style white blend is balanced with crisp acidity and a nice touch of minerality. It’s a wine to drink now.

The vineyard, high in the Mayacamas Mountains, is famous for the tannic quality of its red wines. You’ll find this ’08 Cab tough and astringent. But you’ll also easily discover the vast richness of chocolate, cherry, blackberry and currant fruit, so deep and impressive, and the finish is totally dry and balanced. This Cabernet clearly needs time. Give it until 2014 to begin to come around.
