A very good Chardonnay that displays admirable dryness and firmness of structure, with good fruit. Feels clean in the mouth, with a taste of cold steel that undergirds pineapple and buttered toast flavors.

Here’s a really good value in a dry, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s filled with varietal flavors of blackberries and black currants, with a long, sweet finish. The tannins are sturdy and ripe. Fully ready now.

Quite a nice Chardonnay, especially at this price. It’s elegant and crisp, with a mineral undertow to the pineapple, buttered toast and honeysuckle flavors. Easy to like for its balance.

This is a very ripe wine stuffed with blackberries, cherries and cocoa, but it’s also pretty tannic, although sweet oak softens the blow. Feels lush and good, but rustic around the edges. Drink now with beef dishes.

A solid, everyday Merlot that provides lots of bang for the buck. It’s dry and full-bodied and tannic, with flavors of cherries, currants, cola and tobacco.

A touch of unripeness compromises this otherwise fine Pinot Noir, which shows pleasant cola, raspberry and oak flavors. If you’re not fussy, it’s a good bottle, dry, silky and crisp.
