Fetzer Vineyards

Sundial California Chardonnay 2015

7.2

Aromas of overripe bananas which carry on to the pallate which also includes hints of pineapple. However the wine is lacking freshness or brightness, and finishes with a tinge of ethanol. Best drunk when ice cold to mask some of the obvious faults. ($4) [1/9/18] #weekdaywine — 6 years ago

Dark Horse Wines

The Original California Merlot 2014

Brian Ager

8.2

Begins with pleasant aromas of black cherries, baking spices, and vanilla. On the pallate the wine is a bit thinner than I expected and is light/medium bodied, off-dry, with well integrated soft tannins. However, it has an astringent acidity that unfortimately overwhelms much of the flavor. Certainly not a bad wine, just...unmemorable. #weekdaywine ($7.5) [7/5/16] — 8 years ago
