Emerald Bay 1997 Merlot

  • Best Buy
  1. $7
A good quaffing Merlot with some herbaceousness to the plummy fruit. Shows tart-cherry and chocolate flavors and has decent texture. Closes with a medium-length finish and some nice cocoa notes. Displays good varietal character. Best Buy.  — W.E.  (2/1/2000)

Emerald Bay 1997 Chardonnay

  • Best Buy
  1. $7
A very easy-drinking entry-level Chardonnay marked by tropical-fruit aromas, citrus and pineapple flavors, and the peppery notes of mildly spicy oak. Light but decent mouthfeel; lemon and soft oak on the finish. A very successful bar and restaurant wine, and it’s no wonder.  — W.E.  (2/1/2000)

Emerald Bay 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon

  1. $7
The nose displays sweet oak and fairly sweet blackberry fruit. A mouthful of juicy berries. Rather jammy with a slick, rich feel. Simple and pleasing, although perhaps a bit sappy and sweet for Cabernet.  — W.E.  (2/1/2000)
