Southern Monterey is clearly too warm for a variety like Sauvignon. While the wine has pleasant fig and citrus flavors, it lacks crispness and vitality.

Released at 4-plus years of age, this is still a young, fresh wine. It has complex cherry compote, cola and crushed hard spice flavors, with a delicate overlay of oak, and is very dry and well acidified. It makes you wish there were far more Pinot planted in this rapidly urbanizing area.

It’s all here in spades, the toasty oak, ripe tropical pineapple and mango, peppery spices and creamy texture. Good acidity, too. A little obvious, but will satisfy fans of opulent Chards.

Here’s an Alsatian-style wine, with fairly dry but vigorously rich flavors of honeysuckle, peach, slate and vanilla. If it had crisper acidity, it would be a great wine.

I wish this wine were firmer and steelier, because it really has beautiful perfume and taste, but it’s soft. It’s showcases Gewürz’s exotic side, with dusty spices, tropical fruits and flowers.

Solidy average in quality, with berry-cherry flavors and a rustic feel in the mouth. It’s pleasant, and there’s a nice streak of spice in the finish, but it’s one dimensional.

No problem getting the grapes ripe. Sweet cherries, sweet oak, sweet cocoa, but this wine has no residual sugar and must be considered dry. Good, mouth-dusting tannins and nice grippy acids. Next step: finesse and depth.

Bright in acids and pure kiwi, lime and peach flavors. Oak plays the perfect foil, lending buttered toast and vanilla to this lovely, complex wine.
