Sonoma Chard costing far more, this one showed off really well. Not as powerful in fruit, but dry and smooth, with delightful pineapple, crème brûlée, peaches and cream, and caramelized oak aromas and flavors.

This is a fine value and actually a pretty nice Merlot. Dry and soft, it has very attractive flavors of cherries, cocoa, pepper and mint, and finishes with a nice, sweet touch of smoky vanilla.

Dry, full-bodied and balanced, this Cab shows flavors of blackberries, currants, herbs, and cedar, leading to a spicy finish. At this price, it’s a great buy.

Not bad for the price. A bit green and angular in tannins, but with nice black cherry and spice flavors, and the finish is clean and dry.

Pretty good wine for the price. Semi-sweet flavors of apricots, citrus fruits and spices are balanced with crisp, Central Coast acidity.

Tastes over-oaked and under-fruity, with green, stalky flavors along with Lifesaver candy pineapples and lemons. Gets the Chardonnay job done, just barely.

Tastes semisweet, like a lemon, lime and pineapple cough drop. But the acidity is brisk and cleansing, and lots of people will enjoy this affordable wine.

One of the best under-$10 Pinot Noirs on the market. It’s dry, silky and refined, with the light texture, crisp acidity and cherry, cola and pepper flavors you want in this variety.

Pretty standard Cabernet, dry and thin, with blackberry and prune flavors. Still, it’s okay for the price.

Good value in a dry, zesty Monterey Chardonnay. Marked by crisp, mouthwatering acidity, it offers simple flavors of tropical fruits, buttercream and vanilla.
