Although this wine’s chief fault is thinness, probably due to overcropping the vines in this high-yield vintage, it has some really nice attributes. It’s clean, bone dry and crisply acidic, with interesting citrus and gooseberry flavors. A little more concentration would make it terrific.

With a smooth texture, velvety tannins and long finish, there’s lots to like in this Cabernet from Lake County. A drawback is that the blackberry and cherry fruit tastes sweetly sugared, which makes the wine rustic.

This Cab tastes like it comes from a hot climate. It’s soft in acids and tannins, with slightly sweet flavors of cherry liqueur.

A bit thin in lemony flavor, with crisp acids and an edge of vanilla and sweet clover on the finish. Very dry and clean. Fine with picnic fare.

Here’s another successful Lake County Sauvignon Blanc. It’s zingy in refreshing lemon custard flavors, with a rich, butteriness brightened by citrusy acids. Finishes a little sweet.

Young and racy, this wine has crisp citrus zest, gooseberry, white pepper and vanilla flavors that finish dry. The mouth-watering acidity scours the palate clean.
