* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Pretty dark and full-bodied for a rosé, with thick, heavy, semi-sweet flavors of cherries, cocoa and spices. Lacks the delicacy and vibrancy you want in a blush wine.

Very dry and rather sharp in acidity, this Syrah offers cherry-berry flavors with a hint of herbs and spices. It turns bitter on the finish. Good price, but could use greater richness.

Harsh in acids, simple and fruity sweet in jammy raspberries. A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.

Dry and zesty in mouthwatering acidity, this clean wine features upfront flavors of lemons, limes, grapefruits and oranges. It’s a nice cocktail sipper at a good price.

Here’s a big, rich, gooey Petite Sirah just dripping with freshly crushed blackberries, cherries and raspberries, not to mention milk chocolate and sweet anise. It begs for a wonderful cheeseburger.

The Muscat Canelli in the blend really stands out, offering tangerine aromas and flavors. But additional fruit and spice complexities are offered by Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier, among other varieties. Crisply acidic and dry, this is an outstanding white wine, and a versatile one at the table. Sommeliers, buy this by the case.

Most California rosés are sweet, but this one, an unusual blend of Primitivo, Syrah, Carignane and several others, is mercifully dry. It’s also quite crisp, which allows the palate to savor the herb-tinged raspberry, vanilla and lavender flavors. A great success at this price.

Break out the barbecued burgers and ribs for this lusty, hearty red wine. It’s dry and very tannic, with earthy flavors of blackberries, currants and spices.
