* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A delicious nose of chocolate, spice and berry is followed by an elegant, slightly soft wine on the palate. Plum and blackberry flavors are smooth and well-balanced. Not terribly complex, but easy to drink.

Ripe red plums, coffee and fresh herbs make for a sumptuous nose on this dry, full-bodied Bordeaux-style blend. It’s rather straightforward in style, but there’s a good concentration of red fruit flavors, brisk acidity and sturdy tannins that linger on the palate.

This Meritage is a blend of 75% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Malbec. Cherry, toasted spice, tobacco and sweet vanilla notes are followed by a robust mingling of chocolate, raspberry and deep berry flavors on the palate. The finish is soft but the wine is a bit tannic right now—it needs aging. Overall, an impressive wine from a consistently good producer.

Nice tropical fruit and citrus aromas waft from the glass, picking up pine along the way. Strong acids put this wine firmly on the tart side, and flavors of lemon/lime gatorade will have your mouth puckering.

The Macari No 1 offers an aromatic nose of grapefruit and tropical fruit, followed by crisp citrus and mineral flavors. The wine is balanced and refreshing, but has complexity. Pair with Thai or Indian dishes.

Offers plenty of clove, cinnamon, coffee and tobacco aromas, then delivers tart, lemony fruit with undercurrents of tobacco. Tannins are supple, and the wine finishes crisp, with lively acidity.

Rose petals and leathery spice on the nose are intriguing, while the palate combines red fruit and assertive tannins. Pepper and spice give it a dry edge but the finish has a nice touch of tobacco and cherry.

A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc and 4% Malbec, this top-end offering from Macari boasts bold aromas of weedy cassis tempered with toast and chocolate. Will be considered overly green by some, pleasantly herbal by others, but no one will deny its lush mouthfeel and appealingly peppery finish.

Only slightly grassy and with strong lemony overtones to the fruit, this near-colorless white is as crisp and refreshing as a sea breeze. Would be perfect with the local oysters or clams on the half-shell.
