A pleasant sipper, with good acids and forward flavors of passion fruit, grapefruit and figs. It has a creamy texture and a long finish.

Wild, briary, brambly and semi-sweet from this hot vintage, this is a Zin made for easy drinking with roasts and cheeses. It’s a big, hot wine, with some raisiny flavors mixed in with the cherries and spices.

You’ll find exotic flavors in this ripe wine, from the usual blackberries and cherries to espresso, anise and baked pie crust. It’s soft and voluptuous, but quite sweet, almost off-dry, which lowers the score.

So ripe and soft, it’s hard to believe this is Sauvignon Blanc. Anise-tinged guava, pear and other ripe tree fruits mingle on the palate, finishing gently. Its delicate and low-acid nature argues for drinking soon, probably on its own.

Super-ripe and super-oaky. Will appeal to fans of this overblown style, with its pineapple, crème brûlée and sugary meringue flavors.

First thing to know about this Riesling is that it’s sweet. Not super-sweet, but definitely off-dry. With balancing acidity, it offers fresh, savory flavors of citrus fruits, pears, honeysuckle, butter, vanilla and minerals. A good evocation of a ripe California Riesling.

Classic RRV Chard, bright in minerally acids, with a spectrum of flavors including pineapples, green apples, peaches and papayas. Lots of spicy, toasty oak, too.

Impressive for the enormous depth and range of the fruit, which is a blast of pineapple custard, kiwi, Key lime pie, and the ripest, sweetest white peach, all of it coated in fine, toasty oak. This is a big Chardonnay that calls for rich fare, like lobster.

Pretty racy acidity starts this one off, with earthy, bright, brambly blackberry, cherry and spice notes at the fore. Zippy on the finish, too.

Overtly sweet, with Porty flavors, but clean. If this is your style, enjoy.
