Soft and ripe in extracted cherry and blackberry jam fruit, this also has some heat on the palate, the result of 15% alcohol. It feels a little simple, and the heat is off-putting.

Unacceptably high in alcohol, nearly 16%, this Zin is overwhelmed with heat. It’s almost Port, without the luscious fruit, and burns the palate.

Nice peach and apple pie flavors, along with fresher honeydew define this friendly, soft, somewhat earthy wine. A bit of lees and oak and complexity.

The main characteristics in this food-friendly wine are citrus, melon and fig, while partial barrel fermentation adds a creamy richness. Fresh, citrusy acidity makes it all clean and vibrant.

If you like your white wines with a white sugary finish, this is for you. Tastes like apricot, pineapple, peach and apple jelly.

A little heavy and soft, but with a nice grilled steak, it has enough waves of complexity to stand out. The ripe blackberry, root beer, mocha and sweet oak flavors are wrapped into rich, dusty tannins, and the finish is smooth and long. Drink now.

All stainless steel fermentation allows the natural flavor to shine in this dry, friendly Gewürz. It shows pleasantly varietal flavors of tropical fruits, wildflowers and Asian spices, and finishes dry and clean.

It’s hard to call this dry, because, with 0.7% residual sugar, it tastes off-dry. But it’s a pleasant wine. It has high acidity that provides needed balance to the honeysuckle, citrus, green apple and vanilla spice flavors. Versatile with a wide range of ethnic fare.

Marked by deep, rich licorice and black cherry flavors, the wine also serves up an array of lovely plum, raspberry, coffee, cola and spice flavors. Tannins are smooth yet firm, and the finish is moderate in length.

Here’s an everyday, country-style Chardonnay with good enough flavors of tropical fruits and smoky vanilla oak, and a nicely creamy texture, to satisfy.
