Strong in oaky flavors, with sweet, sugary caramel dominating everything underneath. The basic wine seems pretty good, showing pineapples and acidity.

Lip-smackingly tasty, offers a real blast of spicy peaches, apples and pears that fills the mouth and lasts through the finish. All that nice taste is accompanied by an overlay of smoky oak and a creamy texture.

A near copy of last year’s bottling, River Road’s 2007 is similarly dry and silky. It offers charming flavors of cherries, raspberries, spices and smoky oak, and is meant for early drinking.

Zesty in acidity and clean, with vibrant citrus flavors, this is a textbook Sauvignon Blanc from a cool-climate area. It shows flavors of lemons, grapefruits, gooseberries, limes, spices and vanilla. Fancy, at a good price.

A sound, everyday Pinot that’s dry and silky and fruity. With pleasant cherry, cola, wintergreen, vanilla and spice flavors, it’s a bit scoury in texture.

Too sweet, with jellied peach, pineapple and apricot flavors. Without the sugary taste this would be a really good Chard.

The taste is dominated by sweet vanilla and caramelly oak. Buried under that are tropical fruit, pear and kiwi flavors. While the acidity is nice and crisp, the wine is too oaky.

Made in a very dry and acidic style, this wine has flavors of limes, honeydew melons and buttercream. It's tight and minerally, with a tart, high-acid finish, and seems designed to complement food.

Lots to like in this rich, peppery Syrah. It’s a full-bodied, complex sipper, with subtlely earthy flavors of blackberries, blueberries, carob and figs. Good price for a wine of this polish.

Shows lots of fine RRV Pinot character without a whole lot of complexity. The wine is elegantly silky and dry, with cherry, cola, pomegranate, rhubarb, herb tea and spice flavors. Drink now.
