Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Earthy herbs and smoked sausage on the nose of this Cab are followed by elegant flavors of cinnamon spice and plum. The wine has decent structure and a lovely deep color, but there's a hint of bitterness that is tough to throw your arms around. Though not a complex wine, it has character.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Toasted oak and candy on the nose lead into flavors of butterscotch and vanilla in this appraochable but rather simple Chardonnay. There's a leanness to the wine but the finish is good. Try with salmon or cream-based dishes.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Appetizing smoked meat, pepper and berries on the nose of this Chinese Cabernet relative are varietally-correct, but on the palate, the wine turns a little bitter and there's a thinness that suggests that aging may be a problem. Pair it with red meat or stew to round it out.
