Cool label. Pretty classic NZ Sauv Blanc. Bell pepper nose and plenty of funky bite in the mouth. Gooseberry meets incense. Bit of spice. Maybe black pepper. This will work. Nice stuff. — a day ago

Kinda a cool label with nice art. This was a super saver at grocery outlet for like $5 marked down from $40. And it’s local and unique coming from Suisun Valley. Good color. Red of blood. Smells like wet paint, wet rocks and petrichor. Not very ‘fruity’ on the nose. Flavors are juicy yet savory and chewy. Plenty of black currant. Maybe some olive. Dry. This could probably age awhile longer. It’s a well structured and well made Cab. Lots of fine wine elements and just enough Euro style to make it shine. — 3 days ago

Organic! (Made with Organic Grapes). Critter label. Young wine. Ruby garnet color. Smells of tart berries and painter’s tape. Maybe a bit of fresh meat. Flavors are good. Tart with some berry stuff. There is a hint of oak, but it’s pretty restrained. This is decent red. Bit brusque, but flavors are enjoyable and the blend seems good. — 9 days ago

Requisite duck on the label. Color is pale salmon. Pretty. Smells fresh and complex. Hint of fruit and some of those minerals and wet leaves. Just a hint of citrus. Maybe pink grapefruit. Flavors are explosive. Plenty of mineral water. An acid zing. Faintest of strawberry. More citrus than berries. But balanced. This is a big and expressive Rosé. — 18 days ago

Aged Alicante Bouschet. Not the Petite Verdot. Kinda a dramatic yet casino like label. Dark as night. Smells like cassis and cut wood. Maybe some rain on granite. A ‘wine’ over fruit based nose. Flavors are clean and precise. More of the black currant and also black cherry and blackberries. A hint of minerality. This reminds me of a Bordeaux with Merlot. It’s a fine wine. Aged well. Could go for 10 more years. — a day ago

Cute art for the label. Kinda construction paper mural. Smells like candied lemon peels. Hint pear. Flavors are very light and easy. Bit of peach and Rainer cherry. Pear tarts. This isn’t really sweet, but it’s not super dry either. It’s pretty simple and drinks easy by the pool. Works well in a wine spritzer. — 6 days ago

I like their Sauv Blanc. Nice color. Lighter, not as brassy. Smells a bit like Chard. Honey and the tropical fruit basket. A fresher side too. Flavors are balanced and easy. It’s more of a white wine with some slight tropical flavors and a hint of apples (Golden Delicious apples). Crisp edge is nice. This isn’t as funky and strange as the Sauv Blanc, but it’s a drinkable Chilean Chard that’s very affordable (like $3.99 affordable) at G.O. ¡Viva Chile! — 12 days ago

This is aged a bit. Funny ‘quirky’ name. Nice golden hued color. Smells like lemon curd and whetstone. Flavors are more lemon stuff and a hint of green apples. Kind of a standard white wine style. Not distinctly Chard-like. But that makes me appreciate it a bit more. — 2 days ago

8.6

Good olden color. Smells like cut grass and lemon grass green tea. Flavors are crisp and fairly ‘sweet’. Fresh green peas, white grape juice and white Oro Blanco grapefruit flavors. Maybe a hint of pear cider without the fizz. This smells great, but it’s a bit soft and boring on the tongue. There is a hint of spice (black pepper or curry) on the finish. It’s a unique white, but it’s a bit too smooth for me. — 5 days ago

This is a Reserve Cab Sauv that also says Lytton on it. Bottle has fake wax poured over the cork area, must be fancy. Nice color. Looks a hint rusty on the edge, with a nice maroon core. Smells a hint like OFF repellant, also cherry jelly or syrup. Perfumed. Flavors are pretty explosive and silky. Berry compote of red and black ones. Like black currant, black berry and raspberry syrup without the sugar all mixed together. This is a smooth operator with a nice backbone and lots to offer. Excellent California Cab. — 6 days ago
