A lean, steely and slightly herbaceous Chardonnay, whose brisk elegance makes up for the absence of richness. This Chablis-style wine is marked by minerals and suggestions of lemons and limes, as well as strong acidity. Calls for fresh crab in the shell, with plenty of drawn butter for dipping.

This Cab has some nice things going on in its velvety mouthfeel, but it's rather jammy-fruity and chocolatey, like a Starbucks coffee-based drink with a squirt of raspberry syrup. Doesn't seem to be ageworthy, so drink up.

Soft and fruity, this Zin is so filled with raspberries, cherries, carob and oak, it’s almost sweet. It’s a one-dimensional but lusty wine that’s easy to drink with grilled meats and poultry.

Soft and candied in raspberry and cherry granola flavors, this Cabernet has very smooth tannins. It’s delicious, but a bit too sweet and one-dimensional.

An eccentric wine that will appeal to some with exotic tastes. The tropical fruit, Asian pear and melon flavors are drying out, reverting to cashew nuts, herbs and minerals. With crisp acidity, this Chardonnay is headed into interesting, offbeat places.

Sweet and candied, this Zin, which is a blend of Mount Veeder and Oakville fruit, is obviously superripe in blackberries, cherries, raspberries, mocha and dusty baking spices. It’s sweet in fruity essence but nicely dry on the finish. Drink now with barbecue, baked ham, soft cheeses.
