Delightfully fruity aromas come out on the nose - strawberry, banana, and pineapple. The palate was a bit more subdued, leading with melon, followed by raspberry and herbs. This is refreshing and fruity, and would pair well with a summer salad. Recommended. 89 points. DBH WHO: Murrieta's Well WHAT: Grenache,

Fresh cut apples and apple pie mix on the nose. This unoaked Chardonnay is loaded with tropical and citrus fruits, with a steel backbone. Green apple, pineapple, and lemon zest are followed with softer guava and mango. Lemon zest lingers on the finish. Drink with poached sole. Highly Recommended. 91

Aromas of grapefruit peel, orange blossom, and white peach waft up from the glass. Peaches are dominant on the palate, orange blossom and lemon peel add complexity on the mid-palate. Peach lingers. This is a lovely wine, loaded with stone fruit and florals. Drink with fresh rainbow trout. Highly Recommended.

The nose shows rich aromas of black fruit and spices. Boysenberry and elderberry lead on the palate, backed by graphite and milk chocolate. Fine-grained tannins and black fruit are bigger than acids, giving an opulent mouth feel. Drink with a well-seared T-bone. Highly Recommended. 93 points. DBH WHO: Murrieta's Well

There is more blueberry pie than cherry pie in this fruit-forward, silky Merlot. Coffee and chocolate add depth and interest on the mid-palate, through the finish. Drink with a good bone-in strip. Highly Recommended. 92 points. DBH WHO: Murrieta’s Well WHAT: Merlot WHEN: 2014 DESIGNATION: Small Lot WHERE: Livermore Valley, California HOW MUCH: $44
