The nose shows very ripe, even a little stewed, cherries. Candied cherries and strawberries, with black pepper and vanilla, come through on the palate. This is a soft, round, crowd-pleasing wine that will satisfy the neophytes. Recommended. 85 points. DBH WHO: Prophecy Wines WHAT: Pinot Noir WHEN: 2015 WHERE: California HOW MUCH:

Aromas of honeysuckle, magnolias, and peaches show on the nose. The palate is complex, as peach, nectarine, and tarragon dance around a mineral spine and salinity that will pair beautifully with oysters. Highly Recommended. 91 points.

Aromas of cinnamon-baked apples waft up from the glass. Fresh apples, crisp cucumber, and white grapefruit come out on the palate. Crisp minerality shines through. This is juicy, bright, and layered. Drink with mussels. Highly Recommended. 92 points. DBH WHO: Dutton Goldfield WHAT: Pinot Blanc DESIGNATION: Shop Block WHEN: 2016
