This wine has a tight structure that’s laced with wood. The complex fruit is still settling into the structure, promising richness. Age this for at least five years.

There is a fine mineral-driven backbone to this ripe, concentrated and fruity wine, which gives its dense apricot and pineapple flavors great structure. It needs to age for at least four years.

Full bodied, rich and ripe, this wine has a minerally texture and is loaded with tropical fruit, citrus and apricot flavors. It’s a serious selection that needs some aging. This is one of a series of single-vineyard wines from the Comte de Ternay estate.

A broad wine, its ripe flavors fashioned with yellow fruits, toast, vanilla and an opulent texture. This is rich, open and packed with full-in-the-mouth flavors. Ready to drink.

Perfectly round Chardonnay, not an edge or angle in sight. The wine is soft, juicy, broad, but never going over the top, keeping freshness and green fruits in play as a counterweight.

Soft and ripe, this wine has juicy pineapple and pear flavors. And with its tension between richness and steeliness, this could certainly age.

An interesting wine that starts out with slightly overripe aromas of prune, yet doesn’t show any ill effects on the palate. Flavors are black cherry and leather, delivered by a strong but not overmuscled mouthfeel. Lovely ripe tannins should support aging through 2015.

A wine that is rich, showing firm tannins, but also plenty of dark plum and berry fruits. Spice adds another element, as does a solid core of sweet juiciness. The finish focuses more on dry tannins.
