Oak, peach and nutty aromas ride on the nose. Dense, creamy and reasonably balanced on the palate, this chunky number offers full melon and peach flavors prior to a briny, long finish.

Medicinal cherry and red-plum aromas come with a whiff of latex. This feels plump, chunky and grabby. Medicinal candied-berry flavors end with racy acidity. This seems like a full step down from the…

Vegetal notes, mild citrus and sulfuric aromas make up the nose of this fresh but limited SB. Herbal, peppery green-fruit flavors are lean and finish with notes of rosemary and other green herbs.

Gritty, stalky aromas are more muddled and earthy than fruity. This has a medium body and flavors of spiced currant, pepper and chocolate. A chunky finish offers a mocha flavor that helps cover lean…

A neutral nose announces a fresh but basic palate with briny flavors of citrus, white pepper and bell pepper. A chalky, dry finish is juicy but lacks depth.

Distinct aromas of wood grain and pine crowd out any fruit scents. This feels somewhat flat, with resiny oak flavors resting on top of melony notes. A second wave of wood spice controls the finish.

Dusty aromas come with notes of ham and tropical fruits. This is more blah than focused. Tropical fruits, grapefruit and pickle brine comprise the flavors prior to a salty, slightly green finish.

Leafy red-berry aromas come with a note of olive. This wine feels lean and searing, with edgy tannins and high acidity. Spicy flavors of herbal plum and tomato finish with a dusting of baking spices.

Pyrazine-based notes of green pepper are most prominent on a basic nose. This feels lean and stony. Briny, salty citrus flavors lack complexity.

Foxy, spicy berry aromas settle on briny plum and currant. This is dry, grabby and mildly abrasive in feel. Herbal plum flavors seem a bit roasted. It's scratchy and tannic on the finish, with contro…

Smells like pineapple blended with lemon candy. Zesty in the mouth, with crisp lemon, lime, bell pepper and a touch of mineral stoniness. Long on the finish, and for a wine of this price it's deliver…

Not as dark and sticky as many wines of this variety; the nose is defined by cherry and raspberry along with barnyard and animal hide. At first the palate seems sharp and acidic, but with time it set…

Earth, leather and roasted berry fruit are exactly what a wine of this base grape and price should smell like. The palate is medium in intensity, with herbal flavors, dark berry fruit notes and leath…

Dark in color, smoky and full of coconut and mocha aromas. However, the palate is more acidic, tight and starching than ideal. Add in peppery, herbal flavors to the black cherry, oak and high acidity…

Vanilla, wood shavings, charcoal and floral berry aromas come with a hint of minty green. The palate has a healthy but common grabbiness to it, with flavors of black cherry, cassis and herbs. Almost…

Bargain hunters should like this mildly medicinal Cab because it's got raspberry and black fruit character and only minor faults, i.e. slight medicinality. Otherwise it's fruity, steady and respectab…

Mildly overripe cantaloupe aromas set up a palate with a rip of malic acid. Short, slightly bitter and peppery citrus flavors don't add much to a modest finish.

Herbal berry and plum aromas are earthy at best and a touch green at worst. Salty plum and berry flavors are tomatoey and chunky, while drying tannins and herbal flavors drive the finish.

Neutral, fresh and regular on the nose, with mild white fruit aromas. The palate is sound but fleshy, with somewhat bland apple and pear flavors. Clear and solid on the finish, and overall you won't…

Mildly sharp and herbal smelling, with olive, plum and leather aromas. Healthy in the mouth, maybe a touch needle-like, but overall the wine's dry red fruit, pepper and herbal accents seem right for…

A bit briary and sharp smelling, and so it's no surprise that the palate has tang, bounce and zest to it. Flavors of berry and cherry are lightly herbal, while carob and pepper notes testify to the w…

Tight and a little stemmy, but overall the raspberry and cherry aromas outmuscle the rhubarby side. Tannic and grabby in the mouth, but not rough or jagged; flavors of red berries have an herbal acce…

Åpner mykt, støvete og melont, med eplecider-lignende smaker, melon og tørrhet i stedet for skarpt syrlighet. Tilfredsstillende, men litt tamt, med cider i avslutningen. Godt til hverdagsbruk, men li…

En mørk farge sammen med aromaer av bjørnebær og svisker gir denne styrke. Smaken er ung, gummiaktig og syrlig, med store tanniner som støtter opp mørke fruktaromaer som gir et hint av sjokolade. Oli…
