Yesterday I took a look at some nationally available Cabernet Sauvignons; today I turn my attention to Chardonnay. Much as with the Cabernets, there is a definite connection between price and quality. That thing called value, of course. But like with t...

Sweet lavender and violet nose with currant and dark loamy soil. Blackberry juice. On the palate, luscious fruit showing. Rich and polished with nice cassis, kirsch and black cherry flavors. Dry. Nicely balanced and I think can keep aging. Grippy tannins with pretty fruit and good minerality. Big wine. 90 pts.5/10/1 at winery Read More

Really a magnificent wine! Aromas of black currant, cedar, black cherry, grenadine, nutmeg, plum and cocoa. Rich and elegant structure, built to age. Softer fruit up front and power builds. Black currant, blueberry and black cherry flavors. Nice acid backbone and tinges of red currant and blackberry pie. Dry finish.93 pts.5/9/13 at winery Read More

Dusty and a bit sweet on the nose but showing nicely layered green olive, licorice, cedar and black cherry fruit with a hint of dried herbs. A bit diffuse on the palate, but showing a nice balance of integrated acidity and soft tannins that supports the light and lean core of red cherry fruit. This is a touch on the simple side but is drinking w... Read More

Fantastic effort from a boutique winery thats becoming one of Napas best. The fruit is massive; huge and inky with chocolate notes. Very nice pairing with blue cheese or with a cigar. Read More

Perfectly drinkable rose but a bit too oaky for my taste, not enough acid. Not expensive at $12.99 from Costco, but I've certainly had better roses at that price point. Read More

Zinfandel is the Tres Sabores Vineyards signature grape, delivering distinctive and balanced food-friendly wines that are very different from the jammy, heavily-oaked Zins which are so common today. The nose here offers fresh cherries and berries, huckleberry, white nectarine and sweet herbs with just a hint of vanilla. In the mouth, its dry and... Read More
