Buttered toast and mild fruit aromas open to green-apple and butterscotch flavors. Fairly thick and rich, but the flavors are not of scale with the wine’s weight. Odd sweet and chalky finish. Big, but not substantial.

Opening with a nose of butterscotch, apple and pear aromas, this wine offers a mouth full of clean and zesty pineapple fruit on a medium-weight frame. Attractive use of oak marks the buttery finish.

Has some herbal, tomatoey notes, but overall this is a satisfying mouthful of Cabernet, with plummy fruit and supple tannins. Sourced mainly from Paso Robles and Lodi.

Plump, yet crisp, this fruit-forward Sauvignon has something for everyone: a hint of grassiness, ripe stone fruit and fig flavors and decent freshness on the finish.

Pretty basic fare, raw and harsh, but with some redeeming berry flavors that finish dry.

Rather unripe, with green mint and cherry flavors and a sharpness through the finish.

This is a dark, immature red wine of sizable proportions, honest and unique, that will age for a long time. Tarry, blackberry fruit, with light touches of black pepper and vanilla. Don’t go near it for a decade; better still to bequeath it to your children.

Sometimes, all you need is a dry, full-bodied red wine that’s honest and has no faults. That’s what you get with this fruity, spicy wine. It’s a fine example of a California-appellated Cabernet Sauvignon.

This is an everyday sort of Chard, one that offers plenty of fruit, oak and cream without complicating things.

This stylish, racy Central Coast Chard has ultraripe tropical fruit, peaches and cream, and buttered-toast notes. High acidity makes it sing on the palate. A tad rough on the finish, but it’s rich enough.
