Three Families 2007 Chardonnay (Mendocino County)

Made without oak, there’s nothing in this Chard except pure flavors of pineapples, pears, green apples and spices, brightened and heightened with crisp acidity.

Three Families 2005 Merlot (Mendocino County)
- $14
Soft and gentle, this Merlot has jammy flavors of cherries and blackberries. The tannins are a bit immature, with a peppery scour.

Three Families 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendocino County)
- $16
There’s some good, rich cherry and blackberry fruit here, and the wine is fully dry. It’s just a tad acidic now, and green-tea tannins reinforce the roughness. The wine needs food. Cheddar cheese would do wonders to soften and sweeten it.

Three Families 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendocino County)
- $16
A little on the country side, this Cab has fine, savory blackberry, cherry, currant and spice flavors, mildly touched by oak. The rusticity comes via the tannins, which have a scouring quality.

Three Families 2002 Merlot (Mendocino County)
- $14
Old-fashioned in its own way, this Merlot tastes like it went straight from barrel to carafe. It’s dry and rugged, with good cherry-berry flavors and rich tannins.

Three Families 2005 Chardonnay (Mendocino County)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
A little sweet, a little rustic, with big, forward pear, apricot and peaches and cream flavors and a scrubbing of good acidity.
— S.H.

Three Families 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendocino County)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Harsh and raw, this 100% Cab has some decent cherry-berry flavors. But it’s tough in tannins, with a rustic finish that’s not likely to age out.
— S.H.
