Kudos to Jorian Hill for crafting a rosé that’s truly dry. It’s a sophisticated, elegant blush wine with subtle raspberry, herb, rose petal, spice and mineral flavors, finished with a wonderfully clean scour of acidity. This Provençal blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre is one of the best rosés of the yearn and is reasonably priced.

There’s so much raspberry, cherry, cola, clove, cinnamon and pepper flavor in this wine, it’s hard to know where to begin. It’s also dry, with smoky, vanilla oak notes. Yet it lacks the vital structure a good Rhône blend wants in order to house all this richness. Drink now. Grenache-Syrah.

Good and dry, with very soft, refined tannins and complex flavors. Suffers a bit from arch acidity, but a nice steak should balance it. The delicious flavors include blackberry and cherry jam, licorice, charred meat and a hefty dose of freshly crushed black pepper.

One of the driest Viogniers in California, and also one of the most elegant. Doesn’t explode with exotic richness the way some Viogniers do, but it’s a very fine white wine, noble and minerally, with nuances of tropical and citrus fruits. Really opens up a whole new direction for Viognier.
