Made in a light but complex style, this is a delightful Merlot to drink with just about anything that calls for a full-bodied red wine. It’s dry and elegant, with an herbal tinge to the cherries and tobacco.

This is a dessert wine, and a fine one. It’s delicious in orange, butterscotch and vanilla flavors, balanced with savory acidity. Nice by itself, or with a fruit tart.

Soft and fruity, with rich flavors of blackberries, cherries, currants, chocolate, pepper and cedar. An attractive Cab from this appellation east of Napa.

Soft and polished, this Cab offers upfront blackberry, currant, mocha and cedar flavors, wrapped into rich, ripe tannins. It’s a gentle wine at a good price for the elegance.

Pretty nice drinking at a fair price. Opens with fat, appealing aromas of currant, green olive, chocolate and oak. Drinks rich, round, supple and polished, with huge, ripe fruity flavors. Could use more complexity and depth, but it’s a good value.

Nicely dry and crisp, with mouthwatering acidity and subtle flavors of lemons, limes and minerals. But there’s a lot of those cloying pyrazines that make it too strong in feline spray.
