The aromas of apples and pears baking in a pie waft up from the glass. This is pillow-soft on the palate. All the flavors are just as soft, showing baked fruit, cantaloupe, butter and a bit of vanilla. The finish lingers quite a while. Drink with fried catfish and coleslaw.

Aromatic white flowers give this Chardonnay a unique and lovely signature. The nose shows apples and magnolias. Pears and apples lead on the palate, some melon shows on the mid, all with white florals running throughout. Some citrus makes an appearance toward the finish, sweet Meyer lemon with a tart

Cola, graphite, and cranberry come through on the nose. Black cherry cola leads, followed by plum and graphite. These are brightened with a touch of cranberry on the mid-palate. The deeper flavors flow through to the finish. Drink with black bean burgers. Recommended. 87 Points. WHO: Vineland Estates Winery WHAT: Pinot

This wine is a very pretty blend of sweet and tart. Apples waft up from the glass on the nose. Soft pears and honey swim in a silky palate. Just a touch of Meyer lemon provides a citrus zing of balance against the sweetness on the finish. Drink with pork

Black cherry, tobacco leaf, and cocoa waft up from the glass. Blackberry and black raspberry lead on the palate. Cocoa, black cherry, and tobacco leaf show on the mid-palate, and the raspberry and leaf linger on the finish. Tannins are powdery. Acids give a tart zing. Drink with pot roast.

The nose offers delicious aromas of baking pears in puff pastry. Rich on the palate, it has baked pears and spices and baking bread. Citrus makes an appearance on the mid-palate, a light touch of lemon meringue adding acid that lingers, counter-balancing the baked flavors, through the long finish. Mouth-feel

From a dry-farmed vineyard and using a laid-back, relatively low-intervention approach, a very nicely structured cabernet sauvignon, with a good tannin structure and freshness - in particular for this price category, where residual sugar and excessive jamminess too often rule.
