Full, ripe, rich and delicately structured, this lovely Pinot shows complex flavors of cherries, herbs, mocha and currant. Feels soft and elegant in the mouth, a finely textured wine with lots of spice in the finish.

Though endowed with attractive rhubarb-strawberry fruit and cedary, brown sugar and marinade accents, this wine also shows an astringent edge. This usually comes from high acidity, which makes wines bright and lively, yet paradoxically the wine has a vaguely fatigued feel. The modest close shows white pepper and lemon.

Delightful peach and citrus aromas with a dusty, smoky, buttery note. Rich and creamy. A highly-extracted Chard, crisp and fancy and very fine. —

The mouth knows quality when it feels it, and this sensational Syrah is great. Ripeness was no problem, to judge by the blackberry, cherry, mocha and spice flavors. The quality is in the soft tannins and the way they interplay with fresh acidity.

Very spicy, with ripe blackberry and cherry flavors tinged with a sweet bacon edge. Smooth in tannins, and soft, this pretty wine will go with a variety of meats and cheeses.

Perfect varietal notes of strawberry and tart cherry fruit wrapped in well-charred oak and vanilla. Cool-climate acidity gives the wine a citrusy bite. The silky mouthfeel continues through the long, spicy finish. Easy to like this one.

Combines a delicate body with punchy flavors to create a feminine wine of considerable power and finesse. It avoids jamminess, coming down on the side of less ripe earth and tomato, although there are gorgeous stone fruit notes and a sumptuous overlay of smoky oak. The flavors and texture are absolutely terrific.

Absolutely delicious, a Chard to ponder, or just to enjoy. Voluptuous flavors of tropical fruits, figs and spiced plums flood the mouth to the edge of sweetness. This wine is well-oaked, with a rich, creamy texture and an enormously long, spicy finish.

Shares much in common with the winery’s Morelli bottling, except it’s a shade less rich. Spicy tropical fruit flavors, smoky oak, a creamy texture and bright acidity make it wonderful to drink now.
