Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Here’s a good, gutsy Cab that won’t push Napa out of the spotlight, but offers sound drinking at a fair price. Dry and ready to drink now, it has the classic varietal flavors of black currants, black cherries and cedar.

A fine, classic California Sauvignon Blanc that demonstrates showy ripeness balanced with dryness, crispness and low alcohol. The pineapple, lemon, pear and lemongrass flavors have a honeyed finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This savory Zin screams its varietal identity with a blast of pepper, nutmeg and clove that accompanies ripe blackberries, wild cherries, mulberries and smoky oak. The wine feels very soft and lightly elegant in the mouth, but fully dry. Perfect for restaurant wine lists.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Not particularly Petite Sirah-like, because it’s not a big, huge, tannic wine that needs a long time to come around. But it is a marvelously good red for drinking now at a fair price. Drily tannic and polished, it has deep flavors of fresh, crushed ripe blackberries and cherries, with a delicious edge of pepper and chocolate.

A lovely Merlot and, at this price, a compelling buy. Hard to find a better inexpensive all-around full-bodied red than this one. Fully dry, it has polished flavors of cherries, currants, anise and pepper, wrapped in a gentle, silky texture.
