A little aggressive in an edgy texture, but for the price, this Cab offers plenty of richness and is a solid value. It’s sweet and jammy in cherries, blueberries and cocoa.

Here’s a soft, plushly textured Merlot, with polished cherry, blackberry and toast flavors and a dry finish. It’s a pleasant sipper, and will benefit from decanting before serving to let it breathe and develop.

This is a sweet, oaky Chardonnay, made to appeal to the modern palate. It has sugary pineapple, green apple, pear, buttered toast and vanilla custard flavors, fortunately brightened with zesty acidity.

A sound, rather rustic wine for drinking now with barbecue. It’s hardy in tannins, with blackberry, blueberry and dark chocolate flavors that are dry and spicy.

Smells too green and minty, and tastes too sweet, to merit a higher score. If you're not fussy, there are enough cherry-berry flavors to get by.
