Expert Reviews

Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines11% Cabernet Sauvignon; 5% Petite Sirah; 5% Syrah. Boasting the names of important grapes in its cepage, this wine contains 79% Merlot but barely speaks the name of its dominant variety. Instead, it is mild, thin and angular and absent any sense of soul. It winds up being all the things that have brought Merlot a bad name that it does not entirely deserve.
