Mia's Playground 2002 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Price $16

Racy and irresistible, a Zin that sings out with bright flavors of cherries, blackberries and raspberries, fresh as the summer sun. Soft, sweet tannins and a smidgen of oak add interest. — S.H. (12/31/2004)

Mia's Playground 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)

Price $16

Young and jammy, this is a Cab that tastes like it just came out of the fermenter. It’s all grapy, primary fruit blackberries and cherries, with an undertow of smoky vanilla. — S.H. (12/1/2005)

Mia's Playground 2005 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Price $16

Rich, creamy and fruity, with a blast of pineapple, peach pie, green apple butter and Asian spice flavors, it’s dry, with refreshing cool-climate acidity. — S.H. (4/1/2007)

Mia's Playground 2003 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Price $16

This is a pretty good wine. It has the ripe peach, tropical fruit and oaky flavors, creamy texture and oak of top Chards, although there’s a homespun rusticity that shows. — S.H. (5/1/2005)

Mia's Playground 2003 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Price $16

Super-tasty in blackberry, cherry and chocolate flavors, this Zin couldn’t possibly be riper or fruitier. On the other hand, it could be crisper. Those flavors, while delicious, feel a bit syrupy, due to insufficient acidity. — S.H. (12/1/2005)
