Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Hot, harsh and not quite ripe, a common wine with blackberry, tobacco and oak flavors that are sugary sweet on the finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A decent value, the 2003 Hess Select Syrah starts off with scents of black cherries and blackberries, then turns earthier on the palate, finishing with flavors of coffee and some rustic tannins.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
There are some good lemon, pear and apple flavors in this dry, crisp wine. It’s also strong in gooseberries. If you like that green, vegetal note, it’s for you.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Ripe in blackberry, cherry, cassis and coffee flavors, with a dollop of oak, this Cab is dry and a bit edgy in tannins. Might soften and gain complexity in a year or two.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This will tickle your Chardonnay tastebuds. It’s a rich, creamy, oaky wine, with flamboyant pineapple custard, tangerine, tapioca and spicy flavors that swirl into a long finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Very oaky, with a blast of char and caramel. Under that is light fruit suggesting pineapples and pears, in a creamy texture.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Here’s an everyday red wine, dry and fruity, with a simple structure. It’s sweet throughout, from ripeness and oak.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Polished and ripe, this softly tannic wine shows ripe black currant, cherry and smoky oak flavors. It has just enough acidity to make it lively.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Sweet and simple, with strong, honeyed flavors of pineapples, peaches, green apples, vanilla and buttered popcorn. Crisp, coastal acidity fortunately provides balance.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Shows real Lake County Sauvignon Blanc character in the ripe, citrus, melon and lemongrass flavors, dryness and crisp acidity. Could be a little tamer in feline notes, but it’s a pretty good wine, especially at this price.
