Dark, soft and rich, this single-vineyard Pinot brims with deep, almost brooding flavors of red currants, cherries, red plums, mocha and dusty spices. It also has an edge of tannins that will help it negotiate a good steak. Drink over the next several years.

Showcases its terroir in the brisk acidity and light but complex body that wraps bitter cherry and coffee flavors. Bone dry, the wine will be a fine accompaniment to salmon or duck, simply prepared.

Marked by crisp acidity and very ripe flavors of cherry pie filling, red currants, cocoa and cola, with a grilled smokiness throughout. Elegant and silky, if a bit direct. Give it a year or two to mellow.

Here’s a tartly acidic, light-bodied Pinot Noir that’s a bit rough around the edges. Shows cola and cherry flavors, with unripe notes of green mint tea. Drink now.

Here’s a minerally, acidic, very dry Chard with a firm structure. Slightly earthy, it has citrus fruit, smoky oak and spice flavors, with a wet stone, metallic tang in the finish.

A little on the soft, heavy side, with weighty tannins framing ripe, almost overripe, cherry-berry flavors that finish with a raisiny taste. But the wine is dry and has a nice, silky mouthfeel.

Tangy acidity marks this dry wine. It gives a prickly sensation to the pineapple, peach and pear fruit flavors, almost as if it were slightly sparkling. Not unpleasant, just offbeat.

Here’s a soft, dry, silky Pinot Noir with some interesting flavors. They include very ripe cherries and red currants, vanilla, white chocolate and caramelized oak. The wine’s a little direct, but supple and elegant.
