Fruit is the star of this crisp wine. It bursts with pineapples, tangerines, limes and honeysuckle flowers, with a savory touch of vanilla and buttered toast. Best of all is the brisk acidity that highlights the richness.

This generous Syrah is reminiscent of a nice, rich Provençal wine. It’s soft and spicy and fruity, with a good grip of tannin. The black raspberry, mulberry and cherry flavors are dusted with cinnamon and clove, and you’ll find a coating of sweet, smoky oak. The vineyard is on Atlas Peak.

Crisp, zingy acidity and dryness make this wine instantly appealing. It’s so bright and clean, but quite rich in peach, pear, lime and lemongrass flavors. A great cocktail sipper, or with Asian food.

A heavy-handed Chardonnay, sugary sweet in granola pear, pineapple, roasted nut, honey, butterscotch and vanilla cream flavors. Everything’s good except that excessive sweetness, which makes the finish common.

A common wine, softly sweet and candied in raspberries, cherries and smoky oak. Could be from any warm climate in California. Drink now.

Tastes hard and metallic, with blackberry and cherry pie filling flavors accompanied by a nice bite of acidity. A thin, common wine, but not without a certain drinkable charm.
