Queen of Hearts 2004 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County)
- Best Buy
- $10
As tart in acids and zingy as cool-climate Chard comes, with bright, mouth-stimulating lime and kiwi flavors that finish dry and clean. There’s a tiny bit of oak, but the fruit really stars in this tasty, affordable wine.

Queen of Hearts 2004 Sauvignon Blanc (Santa Barbara County)
- $10
Filled with bright, zesty fruit, this Sauvignon offers lots to like, such as forward pineapple, cinnamon and vanilla flavors that finish just a little sweet. High acidity provides much-needed balance.

Queen of Hearts 2003 Merlot (Santa Barbara County)
- $12
Upfront cherry, blackberry and chocolate flavors hit with some nice, furry tannins, and the wine is basically an everyday, by-the-glass sort of Merlot.

Queen of Hearts 2004 Merlot (Santa Barbara County)
- $12
Decent everyday Merlot. Although you can criticize the thinness of fruit, it’s got a nice, smooth texture, and is very dry. Shows just enough cherry and mocha fruit to be properly varietal.

Queen of Hearts 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Santa Barbara County)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Thin and sweet, a rustic wine with the flavors of canned pineapples, peaches and apricots. Crisp, balancing acidity helps.

Queen of Hearts 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Barbara County)
- $12
Soft and rustic; very low acidity and simple, semi-sweet cherry cough medicine flavors.

Queen of Hearts 2005 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County)
- $10
The underlying wine shows real Santa Barbara Chard character of crispness and ripe, juicy fruit, with flavors of pineapples and peaches. But a huge, major flaw is excessive oakiness. All that caramel and butterscotch throws this otherwise likeable wine out of balance.

Queen of Hearts 2005 Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County)
- $12
Smells and tastes raw, weirdly combining green, minty flavors with slightly sweet medicinal ones of cherry cough drops.
