A really nice evocation of this variety, this is made in a soft style, with a Merlot-like velvety texture. But there’s nothing shy about the flavors: It bursts with ripe, jammy cherry, grilled pancetta, crushed pepper and sandalwood, and has a long, spicy finish.

Easy to like for its orange and pear soda, vanilla cream and buttered toast flavors that are heightened and brightened with acidity. Shows real richness and class for the price in a popularly appealing Chardonnay.

Light in body and silky in texture, this easy Pinot Noir offers plenty of varietal character. The raspberry and cherry flavors are spicy and sweet.

A pretty good Cabernet, especially considering the price, which makes it ideal for everyday drinking. Dry and medium-bodied, it has pleasant blackberry, cherry, spice and oak flavors, with a long, clean finish.

A little sweet and simple, but with lots of charm in the ripe blackberry, cherry and chocolate-covered raisin flavors. The tannins are rich and smooth, the mouthfeel supple.
