Enticing fresh lemon butter with smoky and toasty aromas evolve to delicate lemon drops with zesty acidity, a lick of mineral and lingering apple/pear notes on the finish. Delicious and harmonious California-style Chardonnay delivering more than expected.
Soft, juicy and user-friendly with pleasant ripe and fruity flavours of cherry and plum, little tannin and an easy, juicy finish. Simple, good balance and a good value.
Flavourful and fruity, with fresh blackberry, currant and cherry flavours and aromas of wildberries, a touch of mocha and vanilla. Softly tannic, well-balanced and juicy finish.
Has all the characteristics of a quality Zinfandel without being overdone, over-extracted and over-alcoholic like so many Zins from the sunshine state. Lovely aromas and flavours of brambly blackberry and raspberry with hints of spice and smoke, finishing with black pepper and juicy fruit. A great wine for beef and pork, but also elegant enough for grilled salmon, earthy vegetarian dishes and slightly spicy cuisine.
Fresh and lively, with apple, peach and citrus aromas and flavours. Initially gives the indication that it will be simple and quaffable, but unnecessary sweetness takes over and takes away from what could and should be a good value. A case where less would be more.
Clear medium gold. Medium-intensity nose of citrus and bruised apple with a bit of asparagus. Medium-bodied with low acidity and prominent alcohol around general citrus and stone-fruit flavours with a bit of oak. Drink up.
Lean and juicy with pear, citrus and melon flavours, a hint of grassiness and a bit of a spicy edge, but finishes a little hot. Decent value.
