Winery - Sean Minor
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
With only 12.5% alcohol, this is a brightly clean, light-bodied blush wine, but it’s also a little sweet and cloying in raspberry jam and Dr. Pepper cola flavors. It’s made from Pinot Noir.

Give this Cabernet a brief decanting. After that, the aromas and flavors match up in cherries, blackberries and cassis, with a savory coating of sweet oak. Drink now.

A good, dry Pinot that’s a little common and gritty, but finely constructed. It has firm acids and tannins and flavors of sour cherry candy, tobacco and cedar. Drink now.

A fine, savory and frankly delicious Sauvignon Blanc marked by balanced, fruity flavors. With a bit of sweetness, it rewards with pineapples, lemon tart, Key lime pie, vanilla and figs. Crisp acidity provides a counterpoint to the richness.

Delicious and powerful, and a great value. Can stand beside Chards twice its price, with ripe tropical fruit flavors, smoky oak and crisp coastal acidity. And the alcohol is modest.

Combines crisp, clean acidity, a bracing minerality and rich pineapple, peach and buttered toast flavors to produce a dry Chardonnay of great appeal. Defines the California style, in a classic, accessible way.

Tasted in a flight with far more expensive wines, this Pinot stood proud. It’s dry and richly complex, with the silk-and-satin texture you want. The flavors reward with cherries, cola, Canadian bacon, Indian spices and sandalwood. At this price, it’s a steal.

Rich is the word for this Merlot. It flatters the palate with jammy black cherries, red currants, anise, cocoa and violets, accented with sweet, smoky oak. Turns a bit one-dimensional, but offers plenty of flavor.
