This soft, ripe wine erupts with blackberry, raspberry, cherry jam and milk chocolate flavors. Gentle in tannins, it feels lush on the palate, immediately likeable for fruity richness and a complex overlay of smoky new oak. Drink now.

Starts a bit herbal and spicy, then broadens out to deliver coffee, cherries and caramel flavors. Medium- to full-bodied, with soft tannins and crisp acidity, finishing with notes of asphalt. Ready to drink now.

Softly gentle, this wine is easy to like for its wealth of pie filling blackberries, cherries, blueberries and milk chocolate. It’s just this side of dry, with a honeyed finish of toasty oak and glycerine. Contains one-quarter Grenache, with a drop of Zin.

This wine is sourced from Lafayette, a bedroom community of San Francisco, and you know what? It’s pretty good. Dry and silky, it shows cherry, raspberry, root beer and smoky, oakspice flavors. I’m looking forward to tasting the ’05.
