Arciero 1998 Estate bottled Pinot Grigio (Paso Robles)
- Best Buy
- $12
Melony nose with mineral and peach notes. Soft and round in the mouth, with good balance and a full feel. Finishes with tangy pear notes. Very satisfying wine

Arciero 1998 Petite Sirah (Paso Robles)
- $14
Some deep stone fruit flavors, like black cherry, but this wine really comes down on the earthy side, with notes of chocolate and mint. The tannins are fine but substantial; you can feel them on the finish, which leaves the palate a little numb. It’s not likely to age, though, so drink it with rich foods.

Arciero 1999 Chardonnay (California)
- $10
Ripe, oaky, but inexpensive Chardonnay often smells like lemon-lime soda pop, with a waft of spice and vanilla and a hint of smoke. This version tastes fruity and more than a little sweet, but it’s not flat, thanks to vibrant acidity. It’s geared to the American palate, at an affordable price.

Arciero 1998 Merlot (Central Coast)
- $12
Light, rustic and brimming with black-cherry fruit, with a cut of mushroom and earth. Very dry, and although the color is a bit light, it’s surprisingly acidic. Finishes earthy and rough.

Arciero 1998 Arpeggio Red (Paso Robles)
- $15
This blend of Nebbiolo, Sangiovese and Zinfandel starts with aromas of black raspberries, mint and oregano. While it’s supple, it has a green harshness to it that dominates whatever ripe, fruity flavors it has. The result is a sharp, thin wine that leaves the palate stinging.
