Tannins are firm, fine-grained and present throughout. Drink with leg of lamb. Recommended. 88 points. DBH WHO: Galil Mountain Winery WHAT:

Apples, cloves, and nutmeg aromas roil up from the glass. Apples and cloves lead on the palate, with a surprisingly savory mid-palate offering hints of mushroom and leafy herbs. Classic Viognier tropical fruits pop out and linger on the finish. This is a complex and interesting wine that would pair

This is a pleasantly fruity and well-layered Chardonnay. Pears, nectarines, and gardenia come through on the nose. The palate leads with melon and pear, and adds nectarine and lemon on the mid-palate. The mouth-feel is round. Drink with pineapple baked chicken. Recommended. 87 points.

Color is a medium translucent garnet. Candied cherries come through on the nose. On the palate, cherries and wild strawberries, far more tart than the nose, shine through. There is a light spritz of lime on the mid-palate, then the red fruit come back for the finish, with peppery spices.

Blackberries, brambles, herbs, and hints of tarragon flow up on the nose. The palate also leads with blackberries, backed by coffee, unsweetened chocolate, and herbs. Tannins are rigid. This is a dark, chunky, slightly disjointed wine. Drink with lamb. Recommended. 86 points. DBH WHO: Bravdo WHAT: Merlot WHEN: 2013 DESIGNATION:

The color is a very deep garnet, almost black in the center. The nose smells like black fruit and blueberry baked in a pie. Black currant, blueberries, and tart raspberry pair with pastry and plenty of vanilla on the palate. The wood comes through strong. A bit of tobacco leaf
