Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Reduced and sulfury on the nose to one reviewer, while the others, who liked it more, found stewed fruit and a bristly, tart mouthfeel.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
From Steele, although it’s hard to tell why they don’t say so on the label. It’s one of those country-style wines you either like or don’t, extremely soft, semisweet and simple, and full of superripe fruit, with a dollop of new French oak.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Rustic and sweet on the finish, with jellied blackberry, cherry, licorice, cola and Asian spice flavors. Gains a point or two for its smooth, rich tannins. Drink now.

Very soft and fairly diluted in raspberry, cherry, mocha and vanilla flavors, this Grenache also is sweet. From Steele.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Somewhere in all the sugar there is a crisp, subtlely fruity Roussanne, with citrus, pear and wildflower flavors. But the sweetness buries everything else.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
If you like semisweet, medicinal-tasting Zins, you’ll love this one. It tastes like melted blackberry jam. From Steele.
