Smells bizarre and unclean, with dill pickle and vegetable notes. Feels awkward in the mouth, too. Syrupy thick, flat in acids, and with the taste of cherry cough medicine.

Smells like inexpensive Port, with aromas of raisins, warm brown sugar, and blackberry marmalade. Has those distinctive hot country flavors of Port, too, although it’s dry. Smooth tannins round out the fruity finish.

Drinks rough and ready, with a sandpapery texture and a gritty, peppery finish. There’s some nice stone fruit flavor but the rustic style is a letdown.

This wine is inky black and smells like Port, with sweetened blackcurrant jam, caramel and bubblegum scents. But in the mouth, it’s bone dry and sturdily tannic. Buried deep is a solid core of peppery blackberry fruit.

Opens with fruity, lemon and lime aromas, with a funky edge to them. In the mouth, the wine coats the palate with citrus, apple and apricot notes. Very dry, with no trace of wood; finishes clean and zesty.

On the sweet side, with well-ripened flavors of raspberries and strawberries. Good acidity keeps it crisp and clean in the mouth, and then the wine turns sweet again on the finish.

Has a pretty color, a nice, ruby translucency, and polished aromas and flavors ranging from ripe cherries and cola to deeper notes of pomegranates and spice. The mouthfeel is delicate and lilting, but the high alcohol, 15.2%, is a little hot on the finish.

This is a fine, dry wine that proves how amenable the region’s cool climate is for making great Syrah. The fruit is lush, filling the mouth with raspberry, cherry, mocha and vanilla flavors, with a cedary, leathery complexity. Notable for the smooth, supple tannins.

This is a nice, easy-to-like PG. It’s crisp in acidity, with forward melon, lemon and lime, and date flavors, and while it’s dry, it finishes with a honeyed sweetness. Try with avocado and crab salad or a rich baked ham.

Shows the bright acidity and citrus of the appellation, and is clean and dry, but could certainly use more fruity concentration.
