Aaron: White grapes and wet stones on the nose. Crisp and gentle flavors of tangerine, lemon, and white raspberry. This was mild and easy drinking. 88 points
Teri: Light flavors and a subtle nose. I tasted grapefruit and Meyer lemon along with grassy undertones. Long lingering finish. 87 points

Aaron: I was impressed with this Chardonnay. The nose was fruity and tropical with pineapple and the flavor was sweet with honey and syrup. To avoid an overly sweet experience, this wine adds butter and cream with lots of fruit making it easy to drink and easier to enjoy. 91 points
Teri: Very fragrant honeydew smell greats you first followed by the flavors of pear, stone fruit, tropical citrus, and vanilla. Great flavor and very easy to drink with a nice weight and body to the white wine. 90 points

Aaron: This bright red color of this wine was mirrored on the nose. Tons of cherry clouded the nostrils but the body was light (though not watery). There were fruit flavors with some leathery vanilla and a bit of earthiness which grew on me after a while. This was pleasant. 90 points
Teri: This pinot has a medium body with a long finish and smooth tannins. Flavors blend together hints of earthy bell pepper, tart cherry, and soft white pepper; a pleasant mix of earthy and fruity flavors for a complex but easy to drink red. 89 points

Aaron: This was pretty solid. Raspberry and blackberry on the nose with lots of vanilla and tarry oak in the flavor. This was generally mellow and very drinkable for a Syrah but still decently full. This is a good middle-of-the-road bottle. 90 points
Teri: True to its heritage, this wine carries all the characteristics of a French red: predominant early and mineral flavors with a hint of subtle red fruits. It has a spicy nose, along with a taste of oak, plum, and tart minerals plus a medium finish. Very easy to drink but make sure you like “French wines.” 88 points
