Fresh and jammy, a tart young wine brimming with all sorts of fruit- stand cherries and berries, sprinkled with pepper and cinnamon. Drink this robust Zin with everyday fare.

For this everyday price you get a Chardonnay that frankly is as good as Chards costing a few bucks more. It’s a simple charmer, with pineapple jam, vanilla and oak flavors.

This blend of Zin, Petite Sirah and Mourvèdre is sort of old fashioned, a dark, full-bodied wine whose berry fruitiness has an earthy, balsamic vinegar edge. It’s tannic and slightly sweet.

At this price it’s hard to find a really good Pinot Noir, but this one is as close as you’ll get to the real thing. It’s dry and silky and crisp, with flavors of cola, cherry tea and peppery spice.

A bit weedy and thin in fruit, but not bad for the price. It’s a dry, silky wine, with gentle flavors of cherries, mint, cola and sandalwood.
