The 2008 vintage was cool and resulted in lighter-bodied wines that also were lower in alcohol. That trend benefited wines like this lovely one from Regale. It has a transparent, silky texture, yet is very rich in cherry pie filling, bacon and Indian spices. Feels beautiful and complex now, and should develop bottle nuance over the next six years.

This young Pinot is rather fruity and heavy now, like the liquid version of a raspberry and cherry pie. Yet it has vibrant acidity and fine tannins, leading to the eternal question: Will it age to something more refined? My bet is yes. Give it 5–6 years.

Dark in color, soft in structure and rather heavy, this is a good Pinot Noir that doesn’t quite rise beyond a drink-me-now polish. It has jammy flavors of cherries, blackberries and mocha. Drink now.

Soft in acids, with gentle, dusty tannins and an official alcohol level of only 12.8%, this straightforward Cabernet offers pleasant raspberry and tobacco flavors. It’s light-bodied and dry.

An atypical Rutherford Cabernet, being sweeter, jammier and more simple than you’d expect, especially at this price. Raspberries, cherries, cola and licorice are the flavors.
