If you didn’t know the price and had to guess, you’d probably figure this wine would cost about $18. It’s enormously ripe and fruity, with bright peach, tropical fruits and spices and quite a bit of oak. The technical notes say it was partially barrel-fermented. A wine of enormous charm and a great value in Chardonnay.

The nose is welcoming, with aromas of buttered toast and spice. But the flavors are overwhelmingly lemony and tart—a strange amalgam that doesn’t quite come together.

There’s some really fine Cabernet character in this affordable wine, which contains 10% Merlot. It’s got black-currant and plum fruit, finely etched and pure, with a light touch of oak, and there’s some real substance and depth of flavor. You’ll be surprised at the classiness at this price. It’s a mystery how this winery achieves wines this good when they could be selling them for much more. Best Buy.

Very ripe apple and peach fruit stands out in this nice wine. It’s got a honeyed richness that extends through the clean, spicy finish. Dry and crisp, it’s a great value in a complex, varietally true Chardonnay. —S.H.

An exceptionally rich and delicious Chardonnay for the money, and a great value. Oodles of peach, pear and tropical fruit flavors cascade over the palate; the wine is sturdy enough to support the substantial oak with which it has been lavished.
