Another soft, easy-drinking wine from warm Paso Robles. Everyone admired the rich, ripe fruity flavors, with hints of mint, tobacco and pepper. The finish is short and simple, with a spicy cinnamon taste.

Porty-sweet, with high acidity, high alcohol and some tough tannins. The flavors are of cherries, raspberries and blueberries. This is the house style.

So acidic, it’s like a flame thrower down the tongue, like somebody spilled too much acid into the vat. With raspberry and cherry flavors, it has the taste of a sweet and sour throat lozange.

Dark, rustic and kind of medicinal, this wine has the benefit of dryness. The flavors are of slightly stewed cherries.

This Bordeaux blend is very dry and tannic, with cherry and blackberry flavors and a scouring, prickly mouthfeel. O.K., but not going anywhere.

Thick in the mouth, and soft, this superripe wine has just enough tannic structure to keep it from being pure syrup. It’s slightly sweet in Porty berry and pepper flavors.

Polished and charming, a full-bodied wine of considerable appeal. A blend of all five Bordeaux varieties, it’s bone dry and crunchy in tannins, offering currant, anise and cedar flavors. Now–2012.

The bright edge is over the top here, with spicy bright raspberry, cherry, spice and toast flavors that zip across the palate.

From Westside grapes grown near Templeton, this is a nice, easy-to-drink wine packed with pretty black-cherry and blueberry flavors. The tannins and acids are soft and gentle. Has real richness and vibrancy, and even some complexity in the finish.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is an exotically rich blend of Syrah and some Bordeaux varieties. It’s a bit direct in primary fruit, but could develop some bottle complexity in a year or two. Shows blackberry, cherry, leather, currant, violet, anise, sandalwood and crushed black pepper aromas and flavors, with a chocolaty finish.
