A nice Zin with blackberry and cassis flavors and a fine, dry mouthfeel. If there’s a fault, it’s a streak of overripe raisins that grows stronger through the finish.

A little harsh in mouthfeel, with some minty green notes that give it the flavor of sweet-and-sour cherry and currant sauce. Needs a cheeseburger to tame it.

A little sweet and simple, this blend of Pinot Blanc, Viognier and Chardonnay offers ample peach and nectarine flavors.

This is one of the darker, more full-bodied rosés you’ll ever have, but it’s a pretty good one. It’s likeable for its ultradryness, and the delicate flavors of rose petal, strawberry and thyme that lead to a complex finish.

The fruit in this wine is really stunning, considering how dry and balanced it is. It’s an explosion of the ripest peaches and tropical fruits, with a buttery, honey-vanilla edge. Firmly in Viognier’s exotic style, and tasty.

Soft and smooth, from grapes that grew ripe and fat under the summer sun. The sweet cherry and blackberry flavors have been framed in smoky oak. Fully dry and balanced, this is an easy, sophisticated sipper.

Opens with a super-leathery, funky note that could be brett or a clonal attribute. Once past the odor, it’s dry, soft and herbal-plummy.

This pleasant wine shows all the usual Chardonnay features of well-ripened tropical fruit and peach flavors, toasty oak, and a creamy, buttery mouthfeel. It’s clean and brisk, with a long, fruity finish.

Known more for Paso Robles wines, Castoro has reached to the cool South Coast to craft this delicate, silky Pinot. It has rich flavors of cherries and spices, and is dry and balanced.
