Young and loaded with primary fruit flavors—fresh-picked cherries right off the tree, red delicious apples, just-made cranberry sauce—this is lovely now but built for the long term. The 13.6% alcohol listed is verified by the juicy acidity and just a touch of herb in the back of the finish.

This young wine opens with a distinctive spicy scent suggesting caraway, then black pepper. That peppery streak runs straight through it, inspiring hope but ultimately leading into a tight, earthy wine whose flavors quickly dry up. Might it evolve? Yes, but after an hour or two in the glass it seemed to be going backwards, at least for the time being.

Nice black cherry and black currant fruit flavors are wrapped in a casing of stone and earth. This wine seems to be holding itself back, perhaps just in need of further cellaring, certainly requiring decanting. It’s compact, elegant and well balanced, but shy. A pleasing streak of truffle elevates the finish.

Fine structure, sharp acids and well-defined tannins provide the framework for this single- vineyard wine. The fruit is tart and carries a citrus component, along with wild berries. In the mouth it brings in suggestions of bacon fat and thyme, with the fruit continuing into a clean, precise, tightly wound finish.

This is a 2005 vintage Pinot; released quite young. The wine is still knitting itself together, still showing very youthful flavors. The fruit runs to light red berries with some cherry tomato tartness; the 13 months in French oak, just a third of it new, adds smooth vanilla and light chocolate to the finish. Another six or 12 months should pull this together.

Lange produces a wide range of Pinots, including an estate bottling, a reserve bottling and various single- vineyard cuvées. This is the most basic and affordable, and offers solid, quaffable fruit flavors of cranberry and raspberry, buoyed by firm acids. Just a hint of tomato comes through, along with spicy pine resin. Despite its youth, it is drinking nicely and already beginning to soften up.

This is very light, beery, a bit waxy too. Lange has made some excellent pinot gris over the years, but this is a rather simple and uninteresting effort.

This is a luscious, butterscotchy, fresh, lime- and lemon-flavored Chardonnay; a true delight. Melon and peach fruit flavors thread into the core, and the wine has a wonderful richness without losing its finesse or acid base.

Released almost a full year ago, this wine has had a chance to settle into a groove in the bottle. It is a medium plum color, lightly scented with herb, green and black tea, and Bing cherry. The flavors are astringent and compact, with a pretty burst of cherry in the core.
