A lush, rich Cab from Temecula Valley, which smells nicely of cassis and cranberry with a splash of rose water. Mellow and balanced, the wine’s tannins are well-integrated here with an appropriate oak finish.

A light, easy-drinking Merlot that spent two months in new French oak and otherwise speaks of dark plums and earth. Some bottle variation; two bottles tasted.

Everything about this wine is big. It’s superripe in jammy cherries and raspberries, and super-oaky, with a sweet coating of caramelized candy corn. It’s a crowd pleaser for many red wine fans, but simply too sweet and simple for the price.

The acidity on this Pinot Grigio is almost bracing, so sour lemon in overall character as to be nearly puckering. A rich seafood pairing might help steer it right.
