I like this wine for its appealing softness and overall lusciousness. It’s Paso at its red-wine best, showing cherry and cassis flavors balanced by a rich earthiness. It’s totally dry, but so sweet in fruit, it’s irresistible. Super value.

This Paso Cab isn’t half bad for this price point. It’s definitely soft, but the flavors of blackberry jam, cherry marmalade, chocolate-sweetened cappuccino and vanilla spice are simply delicious, and make the wine oh, so easy to like.

Very bright and tangy in tangerine, lime and nectarine flavors, with bright acidity, this wine also boasts a firm, steely minerality.

Two Best Buys in a row now for Grayson’s Merlot, which constitutes a track record. The wine offers a wealth of ripe, forward blackberry, cherry and mocha flavors that are wrapped in soft, sweet tannins, and the finish is long and dry.

Lots of Chardonnay pleasure in this everyday, affordable wine. It’s dry and creamy, with fine pineapple, lime and toast flavors. A real bargain for big parties.

From hottish Paso, a Cab that’s ultrasoft in acids, although there are some firm tannins. Easily worth the price for the smooth chocolate, coffee and blackberry pudding flavors that finish absolutely dry.

Here’s a good, sound, everyday Merlot that shows lots of real varietal character. It’s soft, dry and approachable, with gentle tannins framing flavors of black cherries, mocha and mint. Nice as a by-the-glass wine.

A pretty good Merlot, especially at this everyday price. It’s soft and dry, with pretty flavors of cherries, black raspberries and sandalwood. Easy to drink, and versatile with any food that calls for a full-bodied red wine.
