Dry, sharp and gritty, lacking smoothness and balance in the mouth. Give it a richer texture, and the blackberry and currant flavors would be just fine, even ageable.

Too sharp and aggressive in tart acidity, which emphasizes the tannins, making it feel overly astringent. Not a bad wine, with pleasant cherry and blackberry flavors, but it sure is tough in the mouth.

Not quite ripe, with green, vegetal notes suggesting asparagus. This was a cool vintage, and the wine is from a cool area.

A good, drily tart, Chablis-style Chardonnay, with crisp acidity and stony minerality. Shows interesting flavors of pineapples, tangerines, honeysuckle and cinnamon spice.

Lots of briary wild blackberry, cherry and exotic spice flavors in this Zin, with cola, tobacco and mushu plum sauce complexities, and the finish is dry. Compromised by a hit of sharp acidity, but rich barbecue will help.

Good citrus fruit flavors, along the lines of grapefruits, limes and Meyer lemons, accompanied by zesty acidity mark this bone-dry Sauvignon Blanc. It really scours the mouth clean. Very nice with puff pastry mushroom appetizers, bruschetta with goat cheese and roasted red peppers, or crudités with a garlicky sour cream dip.

This is a very nice, elegant wine for cleansing the palate. It’s absolutely bone dry, with zesty acidity and subtle flavors of lemons, limes, steely minerals, spices and a touch of honeysuckle. Places itself in the upper echelons of this variety in California.

There’s a good wine in here somewhere, with the fine dusty tannins and underlying flavors of plum and blackberry, but the wine is marred by a musty aroma that carries through a taste of mushrooms sauteed in soy sauce.

Too acidic, almost sour, and pretty sweet, with pineapple and orange flavors. Gets the Chardonnay job done, but seems pricey for what you get.
