Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Firm yet fleshy, this Merlot boasts chunky black-cherry fruit swaddled in layers of toast and dark chocolate. It’s medium-weight, graceful enough to drink with food, but it’s still chewy enough to drink on its own.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Strawberry isn’t a typical Cabernet descriptor, but it applies to this wine, which also boasts more classic notes of dried herbs, leather and cedar. Supple tannins make this Cab instantly approachable.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A bit rustic and tannic, but also shows some solid, ripe berry and cherry fruit. Hay, horse and spice notes add nuance without burying the fruit. Lighter-bodied, with crisp acids.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This interesting blend boasts aromas of preserved lemons and fresh herbs, then turns a bit plumper in the mouth, with nectarine flavors joining in. Tart and high-acid on the finish, making it a natural with oily seafood dishes like fresh sardines.

Manolesaki Estate White Blend - 2002

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This 60-40 blend combines ripe stone-fruit elements of nectarine and peach with firm mineral notes and a hint of anise on the lingering finish. Slightly herbal, but speaks more of ripe fruit, making for a pleasant, medium-weight sipper.
