Pale in color, soft and flat in the mouth, this wine has a vegetal edge to the stewed cherry flavors.

This bistro-style red is dry and lusty in cherry, tobacco and spice flavors. The winery has not revealed what varieties are in it, but it tastes like a juicy, old-fashioned field blend, and will go well with a range of fare.

Definitely cool climate wine, to judge from the acidity and minerality. Underneath are subtly engaging fruit pastry filling flavors of mangoes, guavas, peaches and nectarines, spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg and enriched with vanilla and brown sugar. Yet this wine is totally dry. It’s a classy, complex food wine.

This is a white Rhône blend of Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, and it shows exuberant fruit and a nice, spicy richness. The flavors of apricots, pears and pineapples have a caramelized, honeyed finish.

Fruity, tannic and sharp in acids, this Syrah has stewed cherry, blackberry and pineapple flavors that taste like they were lightly sugared, then baked into a pie. Drink now.

Shows the flamboyant side of Viognier, with superripe, jammy flavors of peach, apricot, spicy mango and honeysuckle flower; a voluptuous wine if ever there was one. It’s not really dry, but has good acidity.

Starts with a harsh smell of burnt jam, then turns simple, soft and slightly sweet in jellied cherry flavors.

This is a southern Rhône-style blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Counoise and Mourvèdre. It’s rustic, with sweet-and-sour flavors of cherries, pineapples and rice vinegar.

Drinkable now for its richness, smooth texture and exuberant fruit, although there’s a firm tannic structure to play off a smoky grilled steak or chop. Blackberries, black cherries, mocha, toasty oak and a hint of worn leather make this Syrah complex.

Mainly Syrah, with Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a southern Rhône-type wine, fruity and dry in cherries, with a pleasantly light body. It’s very clean, a nice wine for sandwiches, especially ham.
