There’s pretty blackberry fruit, and some notes of raisins and prunes. This big, rich and slightly sweet mountain wine from a hot wine region is rustic, honest and, in its own way, likeable. 1 Note

What a value. Bright and crisp and eye-opening, with green grass, gooseberry, lemon and lime flavors, and a tangy bite of mineral from the earth. This dry, edgy wine just scours the palate with its tart acids. Best Buy. —S.H. 1 Note

Tastes strongly of apples, peppermint, and tobacco, making it an earthy Chard, but there’s also a rustic, gritty edge to it that’s peppery and harsh. 1 Note

You’ll find some peach and apple flavors in this wine, but they’re rather watery, and the wine lacks the acidity to make it bright, like those Australian and New Zealand unoaked Chards. It’s not bad, just an underachiever. 1 Note

It’s ripely assertive, with blackberry flavors. What makes it only acceptable is awkwardness everyplace else. The texture is syrupy, and while it’s bone dry, it has a cough mediciney flavor. The tannins are rugged and palate-scouring. 1 Note

Shows the faults of common California Viognier, a sweet, simple and cloying wine with syrupy flavors of canned peaches, apricots and pineapples. 1 Note

This is a good example of a slightly rustic, mountain-grown Zinfandel. It’s dry and powerful in wild, brambly fruit and alcohol, and the tannins are assertive. Has a rough-and-ready character but is clean and balanced and possesses a sense of the earth. 1 Note

An everyday Chard, with pleasant peach and apple flavors and a bit of oak. Dry and crisp in acids, and easy to drink. 1 Note

Lots of black cherry fruit, with notes of dry, dusty earth and truffle, and a strong cola element. It’s very dry and supple, a wine of character. The fruity flavors are rich, and the tannins are soft and rounded. 1 Note

A lovely, crisp, light wine that’s not really dry, but nearly so. Has finely detailed citrus and wildflower aromas and flavors, and good acidity. 1 Note
