Roughly two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and one-third Syrah, this soft, dark and fruity wine offers surprisingly deep and luscious flavors of sweet boysenberry and black cherry. The star of the Farm Boy lineup by a wide margin, it has a lively snap to the fruit and a pleasing sweet/tart finish.

A go-to red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Malbec, Farm Boy is one of Robert Smasne’s many ventures. A fruity mix of cherries and plums, with well-integrated streaks of clean earth, milk chocolate, and a whiff of Bourbon barrel.

Very sharp and acidic, this is dominated by a pine-scented diesel note. It has plenty of bite and intensity, but a harsh, hot finish.

This Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc-based rosé is the pale color of Pinot Noir. Scents offer up rhubarb and sour plum; and the finishing hits a strong sour note.
