This Chard is a good value again this vintage. It’s crisp and clean, with lemon and grapefruit flavors and a dry, minerally feel. Delicate floral, grass and talc aromas start things off. It’s nice to see a Chardonnay at this price that doesn’t taste like tropical fruit and buttered toast. Imported by USA Wine West.

Plump and fleshy for an unoaked style, with tangerine, lemon and passion fruit notes that finish clean and refreshing. A good summer wine at a fair price. Imported by USA Wine West.

“Unoaked” oftentimes means “light-bodied,” but this Chard’s no lightweight. It’s actually pretty sizeable, all things considered, with red apple and white stone fruit flavors, and a dry mouthfeel. Its tangy, zippy finish makes the wine. 250 cases produced.

A medium-bodied Shiraz that shows ample freshness and spice, not the jammy character often associated with this price point. Best Buy.

Fresh and lively, with lemon, fig and tangerine scents that take on a lemon tone on the palate. Crisp, shortish finish. Try with tuna steaks. Drink up.

A solid effort in the everyday category, with plummy fruit marked by touches of rhubarb and asphalt. The wine’s best feature may be its plump, tender texture; it does turn tart on the finish. Drink now.
