* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Offers heaps of blackberry, herb and tobacco flavors. Oak plays a supporting role. Fairly tannic, and slightly bitter in the finish. Could use more weight in the middle. —S.H.

A lovely wine, teetering on the edge of sweetness. The pretty apple, apricot, and honeysuckle flavors have a crisp, steely edge of acidity, and there’s a rich streak of mineral and diesel that adds complexity.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Offers an appealing nose of green-apple and herb aromas, with an interesting bergamot-like note. Manages to be round and tart at once, with pineapple and citrus flavors. Ends with a slightly tart but attractive finish.

A big, thick wine, but not a clumsy one. Filled with plummy, peppery, blackberry flavors and pronounced but easy tannins.

Here’s a nice everyday Merlot. It’s not only flavorful in cherry, black currant, raspberry, and mocha flavors, it has a velvety texture, and leaves behind a pleasantly dry, spicy finish.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A Bordeaux-style red from this chilly county that historically has not been kind to Cabernet-based wines. Strikes all the right notes, from the classy black-currant aromas to the elegant and balanced fruit flavors and expansive oak notes. But it’s too light to really satisfy. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot.

Here’s a nice everyday Chardonnay. That means it shows good varietal character, with peach, pear, apple and smoky oak flavors, but is just a little rough around the edges.

You’ll get tons of upfront cherry, blackberry and jammy black raspberry fruit in this simple, likeable wine. It’s dry, with a nice bite of tannins and good balancing acidity.

Passes the Pinot test with light-bodied silkiness and cherry cola flavors, but this is a really weak wine. There’s just not a lot going on.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

All kinds of tropical fruits in the pleasant aroma, plus buttery, creamy notes and smoky, spicy oak. Tastes fat and opulent, with intense tropical fruit flavors and nervy acidity. This is very nice wine and easily the equal of others costing twice as much.
