I love the aroma on this wine, all figgy-citrusy and so clean. It leads you to expect a bone-dry, intense wine, and that’s pretty much what you get. Clean and acidic, with focused lemon and lime flavors.

Here’s an herbaceous, lemony wine with those telltale cat aromas and flavors. In the mouth, it’s clean and citrusy, with just enough acid to balance. Finishes dry and smooth.

Tastes just like a cherry coke, with the heat of alcohol and smoky spice of oak. That’s a pleasant, even complex mélange of flavors, even though the structure is simple and direct.

Bright in fruit and rather tart, this pretty wine is enriched by smoky oak and a creamy texture. It’s spicy through the finish.

From this county north of Napa, a well-ripened Cab with lots of excitingly rich flavor. Big in blackberry, cherry and mocha, and dry, with soft, gentle tannins, it’s a real crowd-pleaser.

Direct in fruit, simple in structure, this Cab shows ripe blackberry, cherry, chocolate, vanilla and spice flavors. Best enjoyed with easy fare like hamburgers and such.

Spicy, ripe fruit, with an edge to it. Well-defined wine, which shows briar, toast, berry and coffee flavors sprinkled throughout. Well-built, sturdy, a little hot, but balanced and long.

Opens with aromas of peaches, butter cream, vanilla and caramel, then turns fruity and rich in the mouth. It’s a bit awkward, as there’s a blast of herbs or veggies in the middle palate that doesn’t seem to belong.

Wildhurst has been producing one of the best SBs at this price point in California, and this one continues the beat. It’s dry and acidic, with zesty citrus, gooseberry, fig and melon flavors that finish in a swirl of rich, crushed brown spices.

A very clean, tasty wine, with pronounced flavors of grass, citrus fruits, sweet figs and peppery spices. Has a ripely honeyed edge, but a crisp streak of acidity keeps it fresh and balanced.
