This Rhône white blend is fruity, slightly sweet and simple. It has jammy flavors of pineapples, lemons, limes, honeysuckle and vanilla, offset by crisp acidity.

Shows the rich flamboyance you expect in a Viognier, with enormously ripe tropical fruit, apricot, wildflower, vanilla and spice flavors. Easy to drink as a cocktail wine with hors d’oeuvres, like tempura dipped into soy sauce.

Dry and full-bodied, this Zin shows the significant tannins you associate with Howell Mountain reds. The grapes were ripe to overripe, so the wine has flavors of currants that veer into raisins, along with Zin’s inevitable pepper and briary notes. Needs rich grilled meats and cheeses.

The vineyard is a great one, but this wine has some stubborn problems. It’s dry and somewhat unbalanced, with awkward tannins and an unripe, green streak right down the middle. Tart acidity compounds the bitterness.

Shows typical Eaglepoint red wine size and volume. It’s very tannic and completely dry, striking the mouth with force, offering strong flavors of blackberries, currants, cola, leather and peppery spices. Not particularly subtle now, but these tight young Petite Sirahs last forever, gradually mellowing.

Fruity and direct, a dry, crisp wine with potent flavors of Meyer lemons, pineapples, yellow apricots, peaches, honeysuckle flowers, vanilla and sweet spice. Nice on its own, or as a substitute for a rich Chardonnay.
