* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Everyday Chard, with peach and apple flavors, dry and spicy, and an angular mouthfeel. Has a density and weight that may come from mountain vines.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Mixed with some Merlot, a tough, young wine with considerable tannins and a punchy, tart mouthfeel, like an old-fashioned jug blend. What you see is what you get, an affordable wine that will go well with pizza or burgers.

Not bad, with clean, pleasant opening aromas of vanilla, cashew, peach and honey. Drinks fruity and dry, with peach flavors and just enough acidity for balance.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Too soft in structure, with a collapsed feeling behind the cherry-berry flavors, and also too high in alcohol. Glycerine gives the wine a sweet taste, although it’s probably technically dry.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Smells like lemon-scented floor polish, and tastes like sweetened lemonade. Okay in a pinch. The grapes are probably fine. What is needed here is some Winemaking 101.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This is a big, meaty wine, filled with the flavors of plums, blackberries, boysenberries and other very dark bush and tree fruits. It’s also firmly tannic. Makes up in strength what it lacks in finesse.

Ripely sweet in fig, melon and the prettiest white peach, with vanilla and smoky notes. Drinks rich and creamy, with a long, spicy finish. Contains some Semillon.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Strong and briary, a wine with little finesse and plenty of power. This is country-style mountain Zin at its rawest, with wild berry flavors, punchy tannins and dry, firm acids. Will overwhelm gentle foods, so it’s best drunk with barbecue and similar fare.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Unoaked, and with no malolactic fermentation, this clean, refreshing wine is bright in apple, peach and pear flavors. It has a rich vein of acidity.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A great quaff if we’ve ever tasted one: Its mouthfeel is medium-weight and soft; it shows a little restraint on the nose, but eventually reveals cherry, cedar and blackberry accents. More cherry shows up on the palate, hand-in-hand with dark berry, tobacco and cinnamon notes. Finishes with wood and a bit of tang—some called it metallic, others minty.
