Tastes a little simple and candied, but it’s so delicious, you can hardly stop sipping. Rich and ripe in cherry and raspberry Lifesaver fruit and pie filling, with plenty of sweet vanilla and spice. Drink now.

Simple and direct in oaky, fruity pineapple and lemon jam flavors, this Chardonnay tastes a little sweet. It’s made in the modern style, appealing if not particularly complex. Drink now.

Simple and fruity, with candied, pie filling raspberry and cherry flavors. Lots of acidity, too. An everyday Pinot lacking layers of complexity.

Shows little of the structure or finesse you expect from a Santa Maria wine. Instead, it’s soft and fruity to the point of overripe, with jammy berry and pepper flavors that veer into stewed prunes.
