If this is the reserve, I’d hate to taste the regular. There’s almost no fruit, with only a drop of citrus swimming in the alcohol and acidity.

Absolutely dry and tingly in acidity, this citrus-flavored wine is clean and zesty. It’s a fine appetizer sipper for cleansing the palate. Serve it with little munchies, like grilled veggies, goat cheese and crackers with crab salad.

Bone dry and ultracrisp in acidity, with citrus and lemongrass flavors, this Sauvignon Blanc is very clean and invigorating. Better yet, the everyday price is right.

Watery, with barely any flavor at all. If you try, you’ll find some citrus fruit. But it’s clean, dry and crisp in acidity, and serves a purpose at a decent price.

Dry and thin in fruit, with flavors of cherries, mint and herbs, and a kiss of wood. Pretty good for this everyday price.

Harsh and jammy, with thin flavors of cherries and pepper, accompanied by sharp acids. Okay in a pinch.

Soft and a bit sweet in jammy blackberries and cherries, with lots of pepper. Compromised by some unripe green mint flavors.

More like Zinfandel with its peppery, prickly mouthfeel, but not a bad wine for everyday purposes. It’s dry and full-bodied and brisk, with blackberry, currant and herb flavors.

Simple, soft and dull, with vegetal aromas and flavors that barely suggest cherries.

Dry, smooth and surprisingly rich for the price. Shows pleasantly spicy cherry, bacon and herb flavors, with a silk and satin texture. Great value in an everyday Merlot.
