There’s a vegetal, canned asparagus note on the nose right next to deeper notes of blackberries. In the mouth, the wine is thick, extremely tannic and acidic, without a whole lot of fruit. In fact, the tannins are downright palate numbing. It might soften with age. —S.H.

A forward, fruity wine with a black cherry-and-plum backbone, accented by licorice, dried spices and black pepper. Smooth and supple in the mouth, this organically grown Syrah is ready to drink tonight.

Very dark. One sniff alerts you to problems. There’s a vegetal note, somewhere between bell peppers and asparagus, that dominates. The wine is dense, tannic and acidic, and a faint core of dark berry frui. —S.H.

Smells rubbery and cardboardy, with a hint of blackberry. The flavors are juicy, and there’s a real richness to the wine in the mouth. Yet it can’t quite overcome its rustic nature. More like a homemade wine than a commercial release. —S.H.

One of the few truly organic, i.e., sulfite-free, wineries in California, Frey’s Merlot is racy enough, with well-etched blueberry and herb flavors, although it has enough tannins to make your tongue stick to your palate. Tastes better than it smells. Smells a little vegetal. —S.H.
