Jon of Sonoma's Review:

A top 100 wine this year by SF Chronicle. I very much enjoyed the wine, it is not too overpowering but provides a nice aroma and mouth feel. We paired this with short ribs and polenta and it was excellent.

A great petite sirah from Mutt Lynch winery. The color and aroma are excellent and entice you to want to taste the wine. Then when you do finally taste the wine it does not disappoint, I enjoyed how it had a sense of fruit beyond what I normally expect from a petite sirah.

A Great Syrah, that has a great aroma, mouth feel and most importantly taste. It is not overpowering and can be paired with light foods with no problems.

This was a wonderful surprise for me!!!! It was my first time tasting a Viognier and I found it to be a bit sweet and spicier then a Sauvignon Blanc.........and more complex. We had it with a Crab and Pea Rissotto which was a wonderful complement.I would serve this again, especially in the summer months!! A bit of spice, a bit of fruit, some sweetness and a clean finish!!!

We bought this as a future and just opened the first bottle!!! We were pleasantly surprised with the great aroma lifting from the open bottle. We let it rest for about 20 minutes and poured the first glass. GREAT LEGS, a nice spicey aroma and taste. We also liked the fact that it had a long finish with hints of rasperry and current.

This is a wonderful "light" wine. We first tried it out of the Vinotemp at a temperature of 60 degrees. Next we tried it a bit cooler and the spice and freshness came out much better. It is a GREAT light wine for a hot summer evening, luncheon or start of a dinner party. Very clean and crisp but as I said earlier better a bit on the chillier side............

Jon of Sonoma's Review:

Outstanding Merlot, it is bold and complex. Needs to be paired with foot that is also bold.

Jon of Sonoma's Review:

A great zinfandel blend, the wine has a great aroma and a wonderful taste in the mouth. However the taste does not linger, but that was still not a big negative. The wine pairs with any spicy or ethnic food extremely well.

Jon of Sonoma's Review:

An excellent Zinfandel, very tasty with a great aroma. The flavor lingers after the wine and is paired with any food that can handle a complex wine. A great buy at CostCo.
