Overtly sweet, with jammy black raspberry and cherry flavors finished with pepper and cinnamon. Crisp acidity gives a bright balance. Nice with picnic fare and fresh fruit.

A blend of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine shows extremely ripe, jammy blackberry and cherry flavors, and also a soft, melted mouthfeel that makes it feel flat. A bit more structure might help.

A little soft and tired and lacking in the vivacity you want in a red wine. But it’s fully dry, and the cherry, cassis and spice flavors are savory.

This pleasant blush offers interesting flavors of raspberries, cherries, vanilla and pepper, and is quite dry and crisp. It’s also low in alcohol, with only 13%, which makes it light in body and easy to drink.

A solid double-to-left-center, this clean, tasty Chard has good balance and fine flavors of peaches, pears, pineapples, smoky vanilla and buttercream.

An interesting, complex Viognier that shows the variety’s exotic side of tropical fruits, spices and wildflowers, yet maintains a fine balance. In fact, the structure of acids, tannins and oak makes this one of the best Paso Robles Viogniers in recent memory.

Simple, with fruit punch-sweet pineapple and lemon flavors. High acidity makes it a little sour.

Dry, acidic and tannic, in the manner of a young Barbera, but the flavors of cherries, blackberries and currants aren’t powerful enough to outlast the astringency. Drink this tough, rustic wine now.

Smells and tastes hot and cooked, as if some of the grapes shriveled on the vine and weren’t properly sorted out. Otherwise, you’ll find flavors of blackberry jam and dry Port.
