Falkner 1999 Amante Sangiovese (South Coast)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
A terrific super-Tuscan blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Rich and full-bodied, with obvious pedigree, it features great balance of ripe fruit, soft, dusty tannins and refreshing acidity. This is a first-rate wine that amply shows how good grapes can be in Temecula. —S.H.

Falkner 2002 Merlot (Temecula)
- $20
There’s something addictive about this polished Merlot, with its succulent cherry flavors and that rich finish of cinnamon-dusted mocha. The wine is dry and velvety, although it could use a bit more acidity.

Falkner 2002 Amante Red (South Coast)
- $25
Based on Sangiovese, this super Tuscan wine offers lots to like. It’s absolutely dry and very soft, with cherry, tobacco and currant flavors that swirl together into a clean finish complexed with dusty tannins.

Falkner 2000 Sauvignon Blanc (South Coast)
- Best Buy
- $10
Starts off a bit musty and earthy, with citrus flavors veering into riper peaches and mangoes. Turns dry and crisp in the finish. A pleasant wine at a good price. —S.H.

Falkner 2000 Muscat Canelli (South Coast)
- $12
A unique wine, not a bad one, that marches to a different beat. Smells sharply of cigarette tobacco and orange honey, with a dusting of white pepper. In the mouth, it’s not sweet at all, but clean and zesty, with the taste of tangerines and cinnamon.

Falkner 2004 Special Selection Meritage Red (Temecula)
- $30
Sweet as a dessert wine and too soft in structure for true balance, this Bordeaux blend is saved by delicious flavors of cassis, cherry pie, white chocolate and smoky oak.
— S.H.

Falkner 2001 Riesling (Temecula)
- $13
A pleasant, fruity wine, with nice flavors of apricot, peach, honeysuckle and green apple. A bit of residual sugar makes the wine off-dry. Finishes swift and fruity.

Falkner 2004 Rock Creek Vineyard Syrah (Temecula)
- $25
Soft and charming, with jammy cherry, blackberry and chocolate-covered mint flavors. The wine flirts with off-dryness, but its crisp acidity provides a welcome balance.
