  Round and fruity, this mixes sweet berry with red plum and Bing cherry. Orange-peel highlights lift the midpalate. The wine shows excellent balance and a detailed, lingering finish.

  Production is up six-fold from 2013 levels. Spicy cherry/berry fruit is set against tongue-tickling acids. That tart raspberry-candy core is tasty right now, so no need to wait on this one.

  Firm but fully ripe, this mixes black cherry and dark chocolate in a tight and chewy style. It's already showing a slight hint of browning, but aerating it aggressively is recommended, or wait until 2017–2018 before drinking.

  Good vineyard sources and a flavorful mix of raspberry, cranberry and rhubarb characterize this aromatic and spicy Pinot Noir. Well-balanced and lightly herbal, it finishes with medium length and should be consumed over the next 3–5 years.

  Given its modest price and weighty alcohol, this wine should find many admirers. Thick and tannic, it could pass for a heavier red than Pinot Noir, and it offers bulky, rustic fruit flavors, with some heat on the finish.
