Good price for a firm, drily tannic Merlot like this, with great structure and food-friendliness. The black currant flavors finish with a swirl of baker’s chocolate and cedar.

A good, ripe Zinfandel that really needs food to wake it up. By itself, it’s a little aloof, with firm tannins and acids hiding black currant, pepper and tobacco flavors. Better with cheeses, barbecue, pizza.

A rich and pedigreed Zin. It’s soft, with a velvety texture and ripe, complex flavors of blackberries, cherries, milk chocolate and peppery spices that finish totally dry and balanced.

From Sonoma comes this honest, country-style Cab. It shows good varietal character, being dry, smooth, spicy and full-bodied. A nice pepper steak will be the perfect match.

Fancy name for a simple wine. Tastes like sweetened pineapple juice.

Overripe and Porty, with raisiny flavors, and also very sharp, almost sour in acidity.

A sound, everyday Sauvignon Blanc. It has ripe citrus fruit flavors that are jammy sweet, with crisp acidity.

Pretty basic Cabernet despite the fancy title. Shows tart flavors of blackberries, mint and chocolate.
