Fruity, pleasant nose with typical SB notes. Acidity on the low side, light-bodied with a short finish. Perfectly pleasant everyday drinker for the price, but not much excitement here.
First taste of this varietal. Straw color, lovely nose of flower, stone fruit, and touch of mint and lemon. Medium plus acidity, medium body, moderate finish with nice minerality. Would be a great wine with fish or light white sauce pasta dishes.
France, Burgundy, Côte Chalonnaise, Montagny 1er Cru
Peach, nectarine, and a touch of butter on the nose. Dry, medium acidity, full-bodied creamy texture, minimal oak presence, caramel notes on the moderate finish. Lovely Montagny at this level, needs a bit more acidity for balance, but otherwise good juice.
Very light color for a Cab. On the nose, all dark fruit with notes of figs. Medium acidity, full-bodied, almost no tannin to speak of, short finish. Much too jammy and simple with no underlying structure for my taste.
Dark fruit, jammy notes on the nose. High acidity, full body, moderate round tannins, moderate finish. Juicy, delicious, simple Zinfandel - not much complexity, decent value.
Plum and dark cherry notes with a hint of herbs and bell pepper. Medium acidity and body, oak not prominent, moderate round tannins, nice finish. Very nice and approachable wine with good underlying structure, drinking well now and could use a few more years in the cellar.
