    Freshly cut pears and Meyer lemon waft up from the glass. Citrus takes the lead on the palate, white grapefruit and lemon, with pear and hints of toasted hazelnut in the background. White grapefruit lingers on the finish. This is a tart, palate-cleansing wine, something to drink between bites of

    Ripe black fruit, espresso, and hints of tarragon show on the nose. Raspberries and cranberries, coffee and eucalyptus, all come through on the palate. Tart flavors linger. This is a bit of a mish-mash, disjointed fruit and flavors fighting against each other instead of working together. Not Recommended. DBH WHO:

    Dusty cherries and leafy herbs come out on the nose. Fruits are far more tart on the palate, cranberry and wild strawberry lead, with herbs and loam showing on the mid-palate. This is a tart, fresh, acidic Pinot that would play well with many foods. Drink with pork belly tacos.

    Baked apples and toast flow up on the nose. The palate is rich and round, baked apples and pears swimming with vanilla cream and toasty pastry. Lemon chiffon gives a sweet but bright tartness to tame the fruit and wood. The baked fruit lingers. This is a crowd-pleasing Chardonnay you

    The nose is fascinating, offering tropical fruit in toasty pastry, roasted chestnuts, and honeysuckle. The palate is just as complex and curious, with guava, lime, toasted nuts, and hints of mineral and earth. Guava and chestnuts linger forever.This is a marvelous wine, rich, round, throwing waves of flavors and aromas.

    Sweet citrus aromas erupt from the glass, navel oranges, Meyer lemon, and Key lime. The palate is a bit more subdued, but more complex as well. Tangelos, mango, and key lime pie with graham cracker crust come through in waves. A mineral undercurrent runs throughout. Key lime lingers. This is

    The nose promises huge concentration, redolent with blueberry pie and rose petals. On the palate, red fruit dominates, with cherry pie filling, baked raspberries, roses and spice. This is an opulent wine, loaded with fruit, with enough tannic structure to hold it together. Any great steak will pair beautifully, but

    Plums and hints of Christmas spice are redolent on the nose. Plums and blueberries lead on the palate, with the blueberry pie bursting through on the mid-palate. A touch of green pepper makes an appearance toward the finish. Drink with a steak sandwich. Recommended. 85 points. DBH WHO: Martin Ray
