This wine is 76% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and 9% Grenache. Aromas of black fruit, bittersweet chocolate, coffee, raw meat and spice are followed by smooth black-coffee flavors. It lingers on the finish.

Firm red currant and raspberry fruits dominate this smooth wine. The tannins, which lie underneath, give this round Pinot Noir essential firmness. This needs to age for 2–3 years.

Rubber and wet cement are elements of this wine's smooth bouquet. In the mouth, lifted acidity cuts through a creamy, oaky texture, while flavors of plum, raspberry, red currant, vanilla and oak fini…

This is an elegant, smooth wine that draws out the freshness of the vintage as much as the fruitiness. It has ripe, soft tannins, juicy red-fruit flavors and an intriguing smokiness. With acidity hol…

This Cartizze expression of Prosecco Superiore shows gorgeous fullness and softness with pretty layers of peach, nectarine and dry talc powder. The sparkler is smooth and creamy and renders a generou…

Rich and robust with smooth tannins, this Lake County Cabernet tastes deliciously austere, with leather, cedar and earth layered over crisp mountain berry fruit. More like the Xurus 2007 than the 200…

Pricey for a blush wine, but this is an excellent one, among the best rosés of the year. It's fairly dark in color and full-bodied, but very rich in strawberry and spice flavors, and the finish is sm…

Like all the wines created by Roccolo Grassi, you can really feel that extra push towards quality and elegance here. La Broia is an oak-aged Soave with a soft consistency and loads of peach, tangerin…

Chocolate, plum and mocha make for an inviting entry to this wine. Cedar and gun flint season a smooth wall of youthful, polished tannin and integrated oak, with a lengthy finish.

From winemaker John Kane, who worked for years with Kent Rosenblum, this wine is dense and decadently rich and concentrated, a jammy, thick flavor explosion of soy sauce, black olive and Dr. Pepper c…

What a lovely and balanced rendition of Zweigelt: its forest fruit and cherry notes are pure and held in a tight focus on the midpalate. The body is smooth, full-fruited, generous but balanced by vib…

This ripe, wood-aged wine is generous and smooth. Spice and toastiness are balanced by the apricot and citrus fruits. One gives richness, the other crispness. It is a wine with a future. Drink from 2…

As with all this producer's wines, the first fermentation iof this bottling was in wood, adding richness and smoothing out the fruit to give a warm, round character. The acidity is still tight and cr…

Renwood's tiny two-barrel production of its most expensive Zinfandel has aromas like vanilla and coconut and flavors as rich as milk chocolate and strawberry jam. This full-bodied wine is practically…

The high percentage of Touriga Franca in this wine has given it structure as well as red berry fruitiness. It is generous, but supported by a dry core of tannins. Twelve months in wood have smoothed…

Velvety chocolate and dark plum flavors give this wine a smooth, satisfying mouthfeel, assisted by well-integrated oak. Dark and brooding, it reflects its hillside provenance without succumbing entir…

This rich, wood-aged wine is full of yellow fruits with a tight texture. Mineral driven, it's crisp with its apple acidity and bright, steely structure. It's so fresh now, but could age well to creat…
