Forest Glen, until now an inexpensive wine, goes upscale with its first-ever reserve bottlings. It’s an auspicious launch. This wine is fruity, crisp and well-oaked, and maintains balance and elegance without over-the-top winemaker intervention.

A solid Chardonnay that will please fans of well-ripened fruit, creamy textures, and accents of vanilla and smoke. The finish is long, clean and distinctive.

This is a nice, easy-drinking wine. It’s ripe and well-made, from the berry-infused aromas to the soft, round, fruity flavors. Dry, and even sophisticated, you can serve this with fine dinners and save a few bucks. Best Buy.

You get lots of bang for your buck in this modest wine. It’s fully dry, with smooth tannins, a refreshing bite of acidity, and flavorful notes of blackberries and dark chocolate. All that fruit persists through the long finish.

A well-behaved, rustic Cab, with pleasant blackberry, cherry and oak flavors. Very dry, with good varietal character, and a country-style personality.

Here’s a pretty little glass of red wine, silky and supple, with a brisk mouthfeel revealing ripe cherry and tobacco flavors with a hint of cocoa. It’s dry, tart in acids and superversatile at the table.

This blush wine shows plenty of Merlot fruit in the form of cherries and raspberries. It’s slightly sweet to off-dry, with pleasant acidity providing balance.
