    Tight and tannic, this single-vineyard offering emphasizes flavors of herb, grass and green leaf. There's a hint of pale, generic red fruit, but it's more in the veggie camp—think rhubarb rather than raspberry. A hint of brown sugar rounds out the finish.

    Black cherry fruit anchors this pleasing bottle, nuanced with cola and a streak of chocolate. The tannins are smooth and supple, and the earthiness common in this AVA is carefully managed.

    Arresting from the get-go, with a spice-driven start that rolls into a soft midpalate with nicely evolved fruit flavors of plum and spicy cherry. This isn't a big wine, but it's balanced and fruity, with moderate depth and excellent balance.
