The dominant aromas are smoke, toast and cinnamon, which ride over tart-cherry fruit. Turns quite stemmy and tough on the finish. Drink young, with a piece of rare beef to help tame the tannins.

A lightweight Pinot that’s actually marketed as a rosé, this wine nevertheless manages to pack in decent flavors of apple skin, red berries and cinnamon, capped off by some leathery, meaty notes.

Starts off okay, with black cherries and caramel, but with air, a sour pine-resin note takes over the aromas and flavors. Finishes with more caramel and some dusty cranberries.

Now called Castello di Borghese, this winery was still using the Hargrave brand for the 1999 vintage. Light and weedy, with hints of green beans and cherry cough syrup.

Despite the winery’s rechristening as Castello di Borghese, this is the Hargrave label, which was used for the 1999 vintage. Pear-nectar and clove aromas and flavors turn slightly appley, then lemony on the abbreviated finish.

What a difference from Borghese’s regular Chardonnay. This one is loaded with class and refinement, from the delicate aromas of light toast, pear and hazelnut through the nearly weightless palate that somehow carries a great deal of flavor.

This wine shows some of the less appealing aspects of American oak: overt spice and vanilla flavors and a slick, oily mouthfeel.

Picked quite ripe, the resulting wine features mainly melon and fig aromas and flavors, with very little grassiness in evidence. Crisp acidity on the finish provides the vivacity needed to pair with oysters or clams.

A blended white, but predominantly—you guessed it—Chardonnay. The soft, sweet pear aromas and flavors are simple and clean, making this a decent quaffer on a hot summer day.

Strong mint and menthol aromatics give way to intense fresh-cut cedar flavors. There’s just too much wood for this woodchuck to chuck.
