Here's a rich, opulent wine. It's definitely high in acidity, which gives it a citrusy bite, but that zippiness provides a firm counterpoint to the lush tropical fruit, buttered toast and spice flavo…

It's all about ripe, jammy blackberries, cherries and dark chocolate in this soft, tannic Cabernet. The alcohol is noticeable for the heat it gives, and the finish is rich with glycerols. Drink soon.
This 60-40 blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet from Central Italy opens with a pretty quality of fruit that shows bold extraction and still-young tannins with an astringent bite at the end. The bouquet…
This is on the soft side for rosés, a warm wine with a sense of Mediterranean herbs and sun. It has light red fruits, spice and great final acidity. Screwcap.
Lots of enjoyable cherry, currant, licorice and sandalwood flavors in this dry, crisp Pinot Noir. Firm tannins give it some toughness, but it doesn't seem to be an ager, so drink over the next 3–4 ye…
