Made in the style of Port, this sweet red wine serves up spicy rich, raspberry, chocolate, coffee, plum, vanilla, tea and herb flavors, all couched in firm tannins. Toast and caramel frame the finish. Kosher

Kicks off with a distinct vegetal aroma, this is classic “cold-climate” wine. Herbal notes with stewed fruits take center stage. Reminds me a bit of some Chinons. Interesting, though not for everyone. Kosher.

A bit earthy and weedy, but nonetheless, it harbors some pleasing plum and black cherry notes. Tannins are ripe and the finish is moderate in length.

Smooth and viscous, with some pretty high-toned toast upfront. Vanilla, peach, apple, pear and Mandarin orange are at the core, finishing with a bright punch. Kosher.

A bright wine with a cherry core framed by firm tannins. Herbal overtones, licorice, coffee and tea notes add interest. On the finish, it remains fairly bright. Kosher

Showing its age, with the mouthfeel softening and the fruit slowly turning dry and brittle. But it’s an interesting, complex wine, and the flavors, of Chinese black tea and cherry-teased cola, are classic older Pinot. Drink now.

Carneros Pinot near its best. Crisply soft and balanced, it’s simply delicious; a silky, velvety wine with a mouth-watering wealth of cherry pie filling, cola, mocha, cinnamon spice and toasty oak flavors that go on and on, and finish long and intense. Best now–2008.

A full-bodied wine that serves up zippy acidity. The flavors are bright, with hints of pineapple, lemon and grapefruit. A touch of sourness mars the finish. Kosher.

An interesting, exotic wine, full-bodied and rich. The blend of these two southern Rhône varieties has resulted in a creamy wine with waves of flavors, including baked peaches, apricots, vanilla, honeysuckle and sweet cloves.
