Very sweet, with honeyed flavors of apricots, peaches and vanilla crème brûlée, but lacks the acidity a sweet wine needs for liveliness.

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese is much drier, more acidic and earthier than many other Napa reds. Therein lies its strengh and its weakness. It’s a firm wine with suggestions of cherries and tobacco that will satisfy folks who complain about fruit bombs. But it’s also pretty tart. Drink now with rich Italian-inspired fare.

This is a good, dry Chardonnay, marked by brisk acidity and a steely minerality. The fruit veers toward pineapples and apricots, while oak adds notes of buttered toast and caramel. Feels like it wants to be richer than it is, but it’s elegant.

Doesn’t say so on the label, but it’s Cabernet Sauvignon. However it’s utterly unlike most other Napa Cabs in the dryness and tartness. Almost like a Chianti, with bone-dry cherry, red currant and tobacco flavors, scoured with tannins, that finish with a cut of acidity.
