Raw in texture, this common Cabernet will do in a pinch. It has good blackberry flavors, with a touch of oak.

A blend of Chenin Blanc and Viognier, this is a sweet, honeyed wine saved by crisp acidity. Its off-dry flavors range from citrus fruits and green apples to honeysuckle flowers and vanilla.

Clarksburg might be called the Chenin Blanc capital of California, and this polished wine shows why. It’s completely dry and mouthwateringly crisp in acidity, with interesting flavors of citrus fruits, ripe fresh green beans, spices and vanilla. Try as an alternative to Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.

A fun wine that straddles that familiar California line between sweetness and dryness. The structure comes from acidity and minerals, while the richness is all about exotic tropical fruits, flowers and honey.

Supersweet, offering flavors of honey, apricots, tangerines and vanilla. Very nice and crisp, but could use greater concentration of natural fruit.

Cabernet Franc is the best Bordeaux variety grown in the Sierra Foothills, and this is a pretty good one. It’s dry and classically structured, with rich flavors of cherries, herbs and oak, and a briary character of wild mountain berries.

Rich, full-bodied and dry, with chocolate-infused blackberry, currant and black cherry flavors, sprinkled with pepper and cinnamon. The tannins are thick and fine. A very nice example of Petite Sirah at a good price.

Great front label on this wine, a Rhône blend based on Syrah. It’s dry, earthy and sharp in the mouth, with mint and cherry flavors.

Robust and jammy, this Cab tastes like a cherry-chocolate truffle dessert, it’s that sweet, although it’s probably technically dry. If this soft, candied style appeals to you, you’ll love it.

A blend of Chenin Blanc, Roussanne and Viognier, this is a one-dimensional, rather sweet, jammy wine. It has forward flavors of citrus fruits, apricots, pears and spices.
