With cherry, cola and smoky oak flavors and lots of tart acidity, this Merlot has a sweet-sour taste, but it’s clean and has good bones.

Plenty of tart black-cherry fruit is matched with cinnamon and toast in this thoroughly enjoyable Pinot that shows hints of superripe fruit. Offers good depth in a straightforward, easy-drinking style.

Wild Horse captures the essence of Central Coast Pinot. The wine isn’t especially complex or ageable, but defines the fruit and acid balance of the region. Cherries, black raspberries, root beer and spiced rum punch are the flavors, and the wine is silky and dry.

Light and easy, and made for drinking now. Shows plenty of charm, with dry, crisp flavors of herbs, red currants, tobacco and spices, wrapped into scoury tannins.

Awfully weak in flavor, especially at this price, like a pretty decent Chard that was watered down. You’ll find trace elements of peaches, pineapples and oak.

A commendable, everyday Merlot, with some fanciness. It’s dry, but very rich in cherries, herbs and smoky oak, with complex but smooth tannins. Drink now.

A pretty wine in a lighter style, with earth and mocha accents adorning its lean cherry and plum fruit. It’s bright and even, and though the fruit is lively, the mouthfeel is supple. It finishes dry, with pleasant herb notes.
