  There's a strong green-peppercorn tinge to the nose of this bottling, along with hints of ancho chile and cedar. The palate shows oregano, thyme and dill, proving quite Old World in style, with only the slightest presence of blackberry fruit.

  Sweet cedar aromas kick off this attention-grabbing bottling, with elderberry and black plum scents combining for an Old World feel in which the structure can be sensed on sniff alone. Wood and graphite notes pop on the palate, where a loamy riverstone minerality courses through…

  This wine from the pioneering producer deep in the Santa Maria Valley shows sweet cedar, chopped herbs, mocha, licorice, cherry and red berry juice on the nose. The flavors cling to dried cherries and espresso, proving quite pleasant thought not extremely dynamic.

  Dry, tannic and severe, this Merlot has modest blackberry and cherry flavors. It's tough to appreciate right out of the bottle, and won't age, so give it an hour or two in a decanter.

  Simple and jammy in raspberries and cherries, but the acidity is fine and the tannins are just right. It's an easy Merlot to drink now.

  This is arguably the winery's best Merlot ever. While it is not an ager, it is a lovely food wine that's dry, with crisp acidity. It expresses subtle flavors of cherry, red currant, tobacco and sandalwood flavors.

  Dry and soft, with the taste of cherry, roasted almond, crunchy granola and fig health candy bar. Enjoyable, but simple. Drink now.

  Very ripe and forward in candied black cherries, violets, cedar and mocha, with plenty of sweet toasty oak. Feels a bit chunky in the mouth. Drink now.
