Heron 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
- $12
Typifies your basic California Cab at this price, with its gentle, soft mouthfeel and ripe blackberry, cherry and vanilla flavors. The other particulars are that it’s low in alcohol and slightly sugary.

Heron 2007 Chardonnay
- Online Exclusive
- $12
A good, everyday Chard that shows lots of varietal character. It’s forward in peaches and cream, pineapple jam and vanilla flavors that are just a little bit sweet.

Heron 2011 Pinot Noir (Monterey County)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
This features cherry, cola and red currant flavors, but they seem thin, allowing the alcohol to shine through. Even though it’s a modestly low 13% by volume, the wine feels hot.

Heron 2000 Merlot (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- $10
Berry aromas come in front of a tart pie cherry and rhubarb palate. The feel is tight and acidic, so it lacks for mouthfeel and cries out for food. As a bistro or supermarket buy it offers the most potential.

Heron 2006 Merlot

Dry, a little harsh and simple, with basic berry flavors. Okay for everyday purposes.

Heron 2007 Pinot Noir (Vin de Pays de la Méditerranée)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
The aromas are a touch on the funky side with notes of mushy compost pile and rotting cherries. The mouth shows more sour red fruit and rhubarb flavors. Decent if you don’t mind strong leafy/foliage characteristics.

Heron 2011 Pinot Noir
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Acidity, heat and green, stalky flavors mark this Pinot Noir. It does offer some decent cherry and cola flavors, and is properly silky and dry.
