Soft and understated in the nose with subtle suggestions of creamy oak and apples, this rounded, medium-bodied offering delivers clean, uncomplicated fruit flavors.

The best Chard the K-J folks have turned out, and they've made some of the greats. Rich, fruity, seductive aromas yield to a mouthful more complex than Donald Trump's tax return. Round, smooth, with gobs of citrus and tropical fruits, it's absolutely delicious, perfect as an aperitif (our way) or with rich fish dishes (also our way).

Ripe cherry and prune notes keep this light, spicy wine lively through the smooth finish, where it echoes anise. Drinkable now through 1997.

Soft and fragrant, with bright peach and apple flavors. Finishes with a lively mouthful of fruit.

Delicious, rich cassis and black currant. Proportional oak and integrated tannins. Perfectly balanced.

Crisp and spicy, offering a chocolate and spice edge to the modest core of berry and currant flavors. Finishes lean and elegant.

Clean, complex and persistent fruit flavors and subtle use of oak.

Smooth, soft, lush and round.

Recommended.

Surprisingly approachable for a young Cabernet. Well balanced. A great deal.

Excellent.

Excellent. With deep ruby/purple colors, wonderful aromas of ripe fruit, and rich, concentrated personality. This will drink well through the turn of the century. A terrific Zinfandel.

Best value.

Dense and peppery but there's also a tight core of plum and berry-scented fruit. It packs in lots of tannins on the finish, so you might want to celler this one until 1995 or so to let it soften.

Oregano and cassis, complex, rich, dry, spicy, light, elegant.

Serves up lots of nice flavors, including smooth currant, chocolate, herb and spicy buttery oak, and the flavors stay with you on the long, full, focused finish. Has the tannins to age, but you can enjoy it now, too.

Oaky, sweet, ripe fruit, very rich, silky, light.

Rounded, supple. Likeable fruit and oak flavors.

Classic varietal identity. Pungent aromas of hay alongside orange rind and apricot. Crisp, lemony flavors.

Citrus highlights spike a nose of pear and apricot. Vanilla character comes up with air and becomes more influential on the creamy, full palate. Big, satisfying, and in the classic K-J style.

Lovely silky texture and good weight in the mouth. The long finish of mint, earth, and chocolate flavors will leave you craving another glass.

A light, refreshing style. Best while the fruit's fresh and lively; drink now to 1995.

Has a wonderful sense of harmony and finesse, with spicy, peppery cherry and raspberry flavors playing off toasty, buttery oak notes. Fine balance, crisp acidity and a long, fruity finish. Tasty now, but should hold well through 1998.

Fruity and fresh, this is soft and light in texture, with definate vanilla overtones on the finish. Drinkable now.
