There’s some nice fruity flavor of ripe green apples and white peach, and oak provides additional layers of vanilla and toast in this modest wine. Turns bitter and rather harsh on the finish, though.

Quite ripe and seductive, with heady aromas of blackcurrant, cassis and well-charred oak, and soft, lovely tannins. Glides across the tongue like velvet, carrying complex, pretty flavors. Try cellaring for a year to let the flavors knit together.

This soft, supple, friendly Cab is pleasing rather than complex. It’s marked by blackberry and currant fruit, although the middle is a bit washed out, and it finishes short. Still, it’s a good wine at a not-bad price.

This fairly high-acid wine is simple and refreshing. The flavors run to the grassy, citrus and apple side, and it’s very dry, with a crisp, tingly mouthfeel that cleanses the palate. Try it for a late-afternoon cocktail with some simple munchies like herbed goat cheese on crackers.

There’s plenty of apple, melon, and citrus fruit in this dry, stylish wine. Has a nice earthy streak that hits midpalate, then turns ripe and generous on the finish. It’s a little on the simple side, but it’s pretty good for the price.

An everyday Chard that won’t break the bank. Has decent apple and peach aromas, with some toasty oak notes, and it drinks dry and clean.

Here’s a good value. Has rich aromas of citrus fruit, gooseberry, and even ripe peaches and smoke. The flavors are rich and fruity. A little weightier than most Sauvignon Blancs. Plenty to like.

This is a young, hearty wine, dark and brooding, whose power is still considerably closed in. The aroma hints at blackberry preserves, anise and milk chocolate. It’s soft and accessible, with tons of concentrated, ripe berry fruit, but needs a few years to show its best stuff. Finishes long and spicy.

Solidly middle of the road, with sturdy flavors of peaches, some toasty oak notes, and a creamy texture. Finishes with some real richness and the tart, sour taste of lees.

From a popular clone developed at U.C. Davis, an interesting, complex wine brimming with flavors of tart green apples and a richer streak of fig. Oak adds nuances of smoke, cream, vanilla and spice.
