* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A little thin in fruit, with modest citrus and melon flavors encased in proper acidity, with a touch of oak. Picks up steam on the finish, but could use a bit more concentration.

Soft and candied, with raspberry, cherry and oak flavors that taste as sweet as a pastry dessert. A simple wine that seems overpriced.

Tart and thin, an everyday wine with flavors of lemons and spearmint and lots of peppery, gingery spices. Very dry, with decent acidity. Not bad for the price if you’re looking for a cocktail sipper.

Very flavorful, with a melange of citrus, peach, apricot, apple and bubblegum flavors and a rich, honeyed finish. A bit soft in acidity and basically one-dimensional. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Viognier.

Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, this blend hits with black currant flavors and is very dry. Has a good backbone of tannins and acidity, and enough of a balance to cellar for a few years.

This Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc is soft, plush and elegant, which marks it as a classic representative of its appellation. It possesses a feminine voluptuousness, with velvety tannins that melt on the palate. Yet there’s real authority. The sturdy tannins that show up on the finish suggest midterm ageability.

Plump as a baby with its layers of blackberry, cherry and coffee flavors, a rich, round wine with enough weight to accompany big roasted meats. Yet the tannins are fine enough for the wine to feel light and airy on the palate. The long, extracted finish suggests mid-term aging, but it’s gorgeous now.

A dark, young wine, rich in sharp acids and fresh youthful fruit, with deep flavors of dark stone tree fruits and berries, such as plums and loganberries. It’s very dry, and the tannins, while vigorous, are negotiable. Will mellow with a few years of bottle age.

What a nice Zin. Shows all the Dry Creek character you could ask for, with briary, brambly flavors of wild forest berries, peppery spices and chocolate-covered mints. Savory and delicious, a fine wine to drink now with barbecue. Alcohol is very high, but somehow the wine doesn’t taste hot.

Very ripe and jammy, a superfruity young Cab that could benefit from time in the cellar. Erupts in the mouth with blackberries, cherries, licorice, currants and cedar, wrapped into smooth tannins. Give it 2–3 years to mellow.
