Surprisingly sophisticated for a Pinot Noir at this price. It’s dry, light in the mouth and elegantly structured, with a nice bite of acids and tannins. The flavors are delicate in sour cherries, sweet tomato jam and dusty spices.

Great price for a big production (5,000 cases) Chardonnay of this quality. It’s dry and crisp and elegantly structured, with savory citrus fruit, peach, mineral and vanilla flavors. Easily as good as many Chards far more costly. From Don Sebastiani & Sons.

A delicious, easy-drinking Pinot Noir for everyday, at a good price. It has raspberry tutti-fruity flavors with lots of vanilla and spice.

With grilled black and red fruit, sugared black coffee and raisin pie flavors, this Petite Sirah is a little sweet, and also very tannic. It might age out, but right now it’s kind of rustic.

Sweet raspberry jam, herb, green pea and vanilla caramel flavors mark this soft, simple Merlot. It’s an easy sipper with a clean, spicy finish.

This is the kind of Cabernet you get served at a big party. It’s fine for everyday purposes, filled with simple, jammy raspberry, cherry and sweet oak flavors.
