From this Kendall-Jackson-owned winery comes a modest Chard with decent enough aromas and flavors. It’s fruity and a little oaky, and well-balanced. Even has some richness. Good bargain.

A nice wine, especially for the price. Dark, full-bodied and dry, with rich, spicy flavors of plums and blackberries, and a sweet coating of oak.

Positive nose with black-cherry fruit, vanillin oak, and a hint of mint. Black cherries and chocolate on the palate. Has a round, easy mouthfeel and mildly dry tannins on the back end.

Here’s a perfectly acceptable sipper that’s uncomplicated but clean and affordable. It’s also dry. Some ripe berry flavors sit next to stemmier, greener ones, and the tannins are smooth. With nearly 40,000 cases produced, it should be easy to find this value wine.

There is lots of ripe, fruity flavor in this pleasant, slightly sweet wine. It tastes of lemons and limes, melons and figs, and is crisp and clean.

Picture perfect Sauvignon Blanc, and at a nice price, too. It seems to come from coastal grapes, to judge from the lime-tart crispness. The tangy flavors are of spiced figs and vanilla, and finish a bit sweet.

There’s a lot of rich cherry, blackberry and coffee fruit in this dry Cab. It’s not too tannic, with just enough of a grip for balance. Very nice value.

Dry and tartly crisp, with brisk, clean flavors of spearmint, pink grapefruit, crunchy green apple and lemongrass. Shows lots of elegance at a good price.
