This wine is distinct and interesting. It’s dry and intense in citrusy acids, with a softening touch of fig and peach. A well-made, good wine. Try with Waldorf salad.

Hints of lemon, herb, melon, apple, pear and anise mark this lovely Chenin Blanc. Not as sweet as a true dessert wine, but fresh and fruity. Try it before dinner as an apéritif.

Here’s a dry, crisp Chenin that shows the variety at its California best. With rich, mouthwatering acidity, it has citrus and floral flavors that have a bit of sourdough bread yeastiness. Versatile at the table, at a good everyday price.

Shows cherry, raspberry and spice flavors that finish off-dry and rich in citrusy acids. Good with ham, sausage or pork in a fruit sauce.

This is dark in color for a blush, almost a red wine, but it's better treated as a rose and chilled. It shows a vibrant freshness and Sangiovese’s cherry flavors that are set off by crisp acids and a fruity, dry finish.

Soft and one-dimensional, with red currant, cola and tobacco flavors. Finishes dry and tannic.

A little sweet and overly-extracted for balance, this Syrah has cola, stewed blackberry and persimmon flavors. It’s okay, in a rustic way. Drink now.

Not much going on in this dry, watery wine. It has weak citrus flavors.

More tannic than the usual Napa Cab, drier and earthier too, but it’s nice to have something different. In fact, the balance and harmony are positively Bordeaux-esque. This is a Cabernet that won’t swamp food and won’t pall after two sips.

Marked by dryness and rich acidity, this light- to medium-bodied Sangiovese has ripe flavors of red cherries and orange rind, with a tarry, asphalt or pine cone smoky spiciness. Good with steak and lamb chops. Drink now.
