( 90 ) Sobon Estate Hillside Zinfandel 2020 ( CA ). Notes of cherry cordial dominate this lighter-style zinfandel . Intensely ripe strawberries lead into expressive tannins that lend to its longer finish . ($ 13.99 )
light hors d ’ oeuvres , or equally enjoyable on its own . ($ 17.99 )
( 90 ) Forever Vineyards Pinot Noir 2020 ( CA ). This wine opens to ripe raspberries and luscious dark cherry notes . Subtle tannins envelop the palate on the finish . Great value for the price . ($ 14.99 )

( 90 ) Muirwood Chardonnay 2019 ( CA ). This wine has a slight toastiness to the aroma and the palate . Sipping it , you will also get soft fruit flavors ( honeydew melon and golden delicious apples ) to balance it on the tongue . Almost has a slight almond note to the finish . A wine that is even better with food . ($ 12.99 )
( 90 ) Montoya Chardonnay 2019 ( CA ). This Monterey wine is pretty golden in appearance , with light , fresh fruit aromas on the nose . Initially , the wine tastes of hints of candied pear , but lingers with vanilla and butterscotch on the finish . Lightly wooded . Pleasant , almost chewable finish . ($ 13.99 )
( 89 ) Muirwood Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 ( CA ). This wine opens with toasty notes of wood and ripe blackberry . Almost like rain that falls quickly on hot asphalt . From the glass , one immediately gets ripe summer fruits , plums , black cherries and wood . It has some tannins , but the fruit and the tannins work well together . Great wine for dinner . ($ 17 ) BD
