    A rather light red color and a lean flavor profile make this medium-bodied wine a good mealtime pour that doesn't hog the spotlight. It smells like cranberries and dried earth and tastes lightly tart and cherrylike.

  • 201286 pts

    Extremely ripe raisin and prune flavors make this full-bodied wine seem almost sweet and unusually soft in texture for this varietal. It is tasty and easy to sip.

  • 201186 pts

    This lighter-style wine provides a break from your average California red and offers fruit flavors reminiscent of cranberries and dried cherries and a lean, lively texture with moderate tannins. It's medium bodied, not too ripe, and very well balanced to match with Italian food.

    A Mendocino Sangiovese with odd vanilla notes that's stingy in fruit and tannin.
