A straw-pink color, apple cider aromas and almost-sweet apple and honey flavors make this medium-bodied wine richer than many of its Pinot Grigio cousins.

There is a candied-lemon quality to the nose of this one that presages sweeter flavors to come, but the wine turns out to be quite dry and slightly more stony than it is forthrightly fruity in taste, and it exhibits a relatively firmer table-wine structure that directs it away from nonchalant quaffing and more to service with simple seafood recipes.

Grapey, buttery and warm, this wine’s white corn flavors will match a lobster roll with butter and corn salsa.

Soft and creamy, with an appealing touch of butterscotch pudding to compliment the peach and citrus flavors, which are smooth and juicy on the finish.

Aged in both French and American oak, this approachable red is earthy and herbal, with full-bodied fruit concentration. The flavors range from black currant to plum and nutmeg, finishing robustly in oak.

This has aromas of mocha, toasted oak and tangerine zest. The assertive, monolithic palate shows raisin, roasted coffee bean and a green note of powdered sage alongside raspy tannins and the heat of evident alcohol. Despite the bold tannins, drink sooner rather than later to capture what little fruit there is.

The 2018s from Santa Barbara CountyCambria's 2019 Julia's Vineyard Rosé is a pretty, juicy, slightly reductive rosé with bright strawberry fruit, a touch of minerality, medium-bodied richness, and a clean finish. It's a delicious, easygoing effort to enjoy on a hot summer day.

Pretty strawberry aromas lead to crisp, delicate flavors. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Blanc. Drink now.

An easy-drinking merlot with a good deal of smoky-toasty, oak derived flavours. Mid-weight and earthy with some tannic grip and a touch of bitterness. Offering a great deal of plummy flavour and moderate length. Tasted November 2019.

This is an elegantly constructed wine. It's not especially rich, but subtle in citrus fruit, roasted nut, jasmine, vanilla and oak flavors, brightened with notable acidity.

The name describes the wine. Big and bold, the tannins are suave, which makes it fine to drink now. Its ripeness imparts a hint of sweetness in the finish. It would be a good choice for highly flavored grilled beef or lamb, even in barbeque sauce.

There's a bit of a medicinal note, but the black cherry, cola, raw dough and roasted herb flavors have good intensity, framed by toasty oak and modest tannins.

This youthful wine is still unyielding aromatically, with a tightly wound, compact palate. Firm through the finish with an occassional glimpse at the underlying core of dark, brooding flavors. Though large scaled, its balance bodes well for cellaring.

Very different in character from the Zeni and Ciapusci bottlings reflecting another terroir. From the slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains, a brambly, jammy wine with clove and tobacco notes, and a rough-and-tumble mouthfeel. Finishes a bit earthy and sharp.

Ripe, fleshy and earthy, with raspberry cobbler, vanilla and plum character. Modest tannins fold into tangy acidity on the finish.

Zeni Vineyard. Tanic, alcoholic nose with a softer, rosier color tending toward brick. Old vines, soft, sweet, ancient flavors. The wine feels a little bit pushed - the alcohol is too high & the finish is harsh, tannic and hot.

Big and ripe, but there's a tough twinge of bitterness to the wild berry, raspberry and ripe Zinfandel fruit flavors.
