Montpellier 2001 Merlot (California)

  • Best Buy
  1. $7
You’ll be surprised how much richness there is here. Oodles of sweet black cherry fruit, with a hint of oak, and it’s all dry and crisp. Thank the grape glut for this incredible value.  — S.H.  (9/1/2004)

Montpellier 1999 Syrah (California)

  • Best Buy
  1. $7
Starts with modest cherry-berry fruit aromas with some cedar and vanilla notes that turn almost caramel-like with air. This is a light, tart Syrah that has enough juicy fruit flavors to carry the sweet oak and still finish fruity, with a slight peppery tang.  (10/1/2001)

Montpellier 2003 Merlot (California)

  • Best Buy
  1. $7
There sure is a lot of fruity concentration in this wine. It fills the mouth with black cherry, blackberry and red plum flavors, with a rich chocolate and coffee note. It’s also very dry and balanced, although a little soft and thin on the finish.  — S.H.  (12/1/2005)

Montpellier 2003 Syrah (California)

  • Best Buy
  1. $7
Reviewers detected a host of aromas: blueberry confiture, bacon, even floral notes. The medium-weight palate deals blueberry and cassis. Finishes short.  — W.E.  (9/1/2005)

Montpellier 1997 Pinot Noir (California)

  1. $8
Garnet, with an intriguing aroma of damp earth, prunes, licorice, raisins and tobacco. Ripe, perhaps too ripe, and overly tannic in the mouth, leaving an impression of shortness in the finish.  — W.E.  (5/1/2000)

Montpellier 2002 Viognier (California)

  1. $7
Rather sweet for a table wine, but some people will like the sugary peach, honeysuckle and vanilla flavors. Has some nice acids on the finish.  — S.H.  (10/1/2004)

Montpellier 1999 Pinot Noir (California)

  1. $8
Wintergreen, toast and a bit of buttered popcorn are the primary aromas, followed by a palate of chocolaty oak and modest red fruit. The finish is woody and drying.  — W.E.  (10/1/2002)
