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.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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.
