This is a lusty, softly tannic Merlot that has flavors of cherry jam, mocha, red licorice and vanilla. It shows some elegance and complexity. Drink now.

Golden honey in color, the Ramspeck Sassolini is lush with lemon flavor and high acidity that lingers on the palate, crisp and tart. Sourced from Lake County fruit, a fine place for crisp whites, this wine is balanced in alcohol and richness too.

A solid Cabernet for drinking now, this is dry and tannic, yet it has sweet-tasting blackberry and cherry flavors, plus a rich coating of smoky oak.

The fruit that was used to make this Pinot Grigio was sourced from a High Valley vineyard situated at an elevation of 2,000 feet. The resulting wine is full of citrus and green apple aromas and flavors. The finish shows a touch of sweetness.

A nicely flavored Cab, with well-endowed flavors of blackcurrants, herbs and sweet espresso, and rich, delicate tannins. Feels a bit soft and flabby in the mouth, with the commonness of a regional wine.

Kind of dry and rough, with a jagged mouthfeel, although there are some decent cherry and blackberry flavors. A good, regional country-style wine.

Fans of fruity Pinot Noirs will love this one, with its sweet raspberry and cherry jam flavors. Beyond that, there’s not much going on. It’s silky in texture, with a boost of acidity.
