So ripe in berries, it veers into raisins, but they add a note of interest to the cherry, cocoa and blueberry flavors. The wine is fully dry, at the cost of high alcohol, but that’s Zin for you.

The only Pinot I’ve ever tasted from this appellation, which is in the warmish to hot southern Salinas Valley. Seems a little flat. Has earthy flavors and easy tannins.

Quite rich and viscous, with a full-blown core of bright cherry and herb flavors. Spice-like cinnamon and nutmeg also find expression here, framed in very soft tannins. Good acidity holds it together, while the finish is pleasingly long.

A richly textured, viscous wine, with big, deep black plum, smoke, toast, cherry, licorice and spice flavors. It falters a bit on the palate, as it finishes a bit short and a touch tannic. Nonetheless, it offers plenty of pleasure.

This wine is quite dry, with a good grip of dusty tannins and a silky mouthfeel. It has cherry-berry and cocoa flavors and a long, fruity finish. Drinking well now, it should be consumed in the next year to preserve vibrancy.

Bright cherry flavors are the hallmark of this zippy wine, which also serves up spice, anise and briary blackberry notes. Its focus is moderate, but it’s still quite enjoyable. —J.M.
