Organic! (Made with Organic Grapes). Critter label. Young wine. Ruby garnet color. Smells of tart berries and painter’s tape. Maybe a bit of fresh meat. Flavors are good. Tart with some berry stuff. There is a hint of oak, but it’s pretty restrained. This is decent red. Bit brusque, but flavors are enjoyable and the blend seems good. — 42 minutes ago

Label is ok. Nothing too interesting. Back label says 80% Grenache, now that is interesting. 15% Syrah. Rest is Mourvèdre. Dark purple color. Santa Rosa plum skin color. Smells a bit of leather and flowers. Dark ones like violets, lavender and roses. Flavors are on point and classic. Smooth. Bittersweet. Rose petals, mulberries and wet rocks. Very balanced and deeply flavored. This is a classic and classy Côtes du Rhóne. — 10 days ago

I like their Sauv Blanc. Nice color. Lighter, not as brassy. Smells a bit like Chard. Honey and the tropical fruit basket. A fresher side too. Flavors are balanced and easy. It’s more of a white wine with some slight tropical flavors and a hint of apples (Golden Delicious apples). Crisp edge is nice. This isn’t as funky and strange as the Sauv Blanc, but it’s a drinkable Chilean Chard that’s very affordable (like $3.99 affordable) at G.O. ¡Viva Chile! — 3 days ago

This is the Napa Valley of the Grenache. Plum colored. Darker with a purple edge. Perfumed. Smells more of lavender and roses. Tart and sharper flavor. Zingy and strange. Over time became flabby and meh. Boring CA red style. — 12 days ago

The Bonny Doon flagship. Lighter red. Ruby red. Floral nose. Sort of a ripe meadow strawberry meets damsel plum. Flavors are juicy, tart and elegant. Complex. Smoke and good red/black fruit. This is a wine that hits a home run. — 12 days ago

Requisite duck on the label. Color is pale salmon. Pretty. Smells fresh and complex. Hint of fruit and some of those minerals and wet leaves. Just a hint of citrus. Maybe pink grapefruit. Flavors are explosive. Plenty of mineral water. An acid zing. Faintest of strawberry. More citrus than berries. But balanced. This is a big and expressive Rosé. — 9 days ago

This is a big boy Pinot Noir. Has lots of fruit, oak, punch and such. It’s ok for $4 at the grocery outlet, but for much more I’d start asking some questions. Fit with the OKC Thunder winning the NBA Finals. — 11 days ago

Pretty label. A darker color. Smells more like ripe fruits. Fruit bombed. Bigger style. Smooth operator. More of a New World wine. Olives. Lots of CA black olives. A classic Spanish kind. — 12 days ago

Nice drawing on the label. Color of straw with just a hint of green. Smells like it has some oak. Hint of citrus. Flavors are pretty classic Chard, but balanced. Citrus with a hint of honey. Kinda reminds me of the Chenin Blanc I had yesterday. It’s an elevated type of CA Chardonnay. — 13 days ago
