A non-oaked, non-ML Chardonnay from a new producer in inland Mendocino, the wine has lots of green apple, custard and key lime, is easy-drinking and straightforward with clearly no oak influence and a noticeable finish. Definitely clean and crisp.

There’s no oak on this Viognier, so the fruit stands out, and what fruit it is. Superripe in pineapples, honey, mangoes, guavas and Asian pears, with crisp, citrusy acidity that makes it vibrant and clean, if a little direct. Drink now.

Honey-sweet and simple, with crisp, jammy flavors of berries, cherries and cocoa. It’s a Bordeaux blend with a splash of Viognier.

Good and brisk, if a bit one-dimensional, a tannic, crisply dry wine with flavors of cherries, herb tea, red currants, smoky sandalwood and spices. The astringency is not likely to soften with age.

Shows the rugged, rustic nature of most California Sangioveses, but with additional notes of interest to raise the score a few points. Dry and crisply acidic, but light and elegant in body, it shows flavors of cherries, tobacco, sandalwood, black pepper and Asian spices. Drink now.

Tasty and rich, this unoaked Chardonnay is very ripe and crisp, with vanilla and honey touches to the candied lemondrop, pineapple and honeysuckle flavors. Drink now.
