A good Chardonnay with some special qualities. It’s dry, creamy and crisp, and you’ll find a stony minerality grounding the pear, vanilla and buttered toast flavors.

Black-tea and spice notes include thyme and black pepper. Sweet black-cherry fruit struggles to make its mark. The overall impression is of an herbal oddity that’s more of an intellectual experience than a hedonistic one.

Decent nose, with a touch of complex earth and barnyard aromas over the cherry fruit. The palate expands with dried flowers, berries and brush flavors that carry over onto the finish. Good basic Pinot Noir.

Starts out with rough, earthy blackberry and cassis aromas, with deeper notes of plum and chocolate. Drinks very soft and velvety, almost too much so; seems to lack acidity and vibrancy. At this price, though, you can’t expect miracles.

It’s got a good color, a pretty ruby, and the aromas suggest sun-dried tomatoes, beetroot, and just the faintest hint of cherry, with sweeter, vanilla-accented notes. Very soft, with low acidity and raspberry-cherry fruit flavors.

The aroma is a little weak or watery, with light apple and pear notes. Drinks tutti-fruity; a soft, simple wine that’s clean and refreshing.

Nice and silky, with crisp acidity framing flavors of cherries, cola, sandalwood and peppery spices. It’s a bit rough in texture and simple, but shows good Pinot character.
