Ripe flavors of blueberry and plum dance on a medium-weight frame, shaded by hints of pepper and clove, underlined by fine tannins. A hint of orange tea emerges on the finish. Drink now through 2017. 2,417 cases made. —Harvey Steiman
Fresh cherry and raspberry flavors highlight this juicy red, with accents of underbrush and tobacco lending nuance, followed by a spicy finish. The dense tannins suggest this is built for the long haul. Best from 2016 through 2030. 4,600 cases imported. —Bruce Sanderson
Buoyant, with racy acidity and lively, fresh-cut apple and Meyer lemon flavors that take on a creamy allure. The tarragon notes mesh with effusive minerality and hints of white pepper. Drink now through 2020. 7,500 cases made. —Kim Marcus
Elegant and lightly tangy, with flavors of dried black currant, prune, violet, dried thyme, sweetbread and subtle gumdrop. Chewy on the mouthwatering, minerally finish. Drink now through 2023. 12,000 cases made. —Alison Napjus
