There's a touch of burnt matchstick at the very start of this wine, but it later opens to reveal citrus, stone fruit and white flowers. The mouthfeel is lean and tonic and this easygoing white blend…

The second wine of Médoc Château La Cardonne is a light, fruity wine with red berry fruits, acidity and a fresh tannin character. It is pleasingly ready to drink now.

This is a plump Pinot Gris that does show a bit of its 13.5% alcohol. Pleasant smoke and citrus aromas give way to grapefruit and spice flavors that fade a bit quickly on the finish.

A light floral and toasty nose leads into this clean, slightly racy Chardonnay from New York. There's a touch of sweetness to the wine but it's balanced by good oak and an earthiness to the finish.

Crisp and zesty in acid-rich lemongrass, lime, pineapple and fig flavors, this Sauvignon Blanc finishes clean and off-dry. Good with crab cakes with a tropical fruit and cilantro salsa.

Dusty and neutral on the nose, with a hint of wild flower and mineral to stir interest. The palate is dry despite having some size and plumpness; flavors of apple, peach and papaya are crisp and lean.

Here's a thin, lean and easy-to-drink Sangiovese with a pretty aromatic ensemble of spice, blueberry and roasted nut.

A very appealing nose of earthy spice starts this successful Chard, and leads into a full, rounded blanket of toasted oak and fruit. There's complexity here without heaviness, and the wine finishes b…

Much lighter in weight than many Pinot Gris on the market, this is a pretty, fruit-driven rendering of the variety, blending tropical fruit with ripe apples and hints of pink grapefruit. It's crisp a…

Crisp apples, touched with some sweetness, but finely clean and fresh, this is a great apéritif style of Vinho Verde, finishing with just a sparkle. Screwcap.

Interesting and unique blends get bonus points, but in the long run this conglomeration of indigenous grapes from Mallorca is a touch too resiny and bland to really deserve a call out. But for soft m…

Overall this Tocai is fairly good from start to finish. Apple and matchstick aromas lead to a wide palate. Apple, peach and persimmon flavors show a bit of salt and finish short.

Tea, tomato, baking spice and briny red-plum aromas lead to a creamy, almost candied palate. Flavors of plum and dried cherry carry plenty of oak plus pepper and spice notes. Finishing flavors of coc…

Rose gold in color, this rosé smells fresh and inviting, with pleasant underripe strawberry, mango and citrus zest scents. The palate is similarly light-footed, yet ripe tropical fruit tones lend som…

Made from 100% Castelâo, the local grape of Setúbal, this wine is attractively fruity, with a crisp texture. Warmer, ripe red-berry fruits contrast with the acidity, leaving a balanced wine that is r…

Lean, largely neutral citrus aromas set up a palate with medium weight. Melon, pineapple and passion-fruit flavors are fresh but minimal. A bright finish makes this a good match for ceviche.

This is a pale, light-bodied rosé with aromas and flavors reminiscent of underripe peach and melon. It's clean, dry and even a bit austere on the finish, making it a fine apéritif.

Bright, lean and vibrant, this is a medium-bodied rosé with gingery-citrusy notes that could go well with fish or poultry dishes.

Vernaccia takes a subdued approach and delivers clean aromas of grapefruit, pear and honey that are distinctive yet not very intense. It's very lean and compact in the mouth but ends with clean acidi…

A bit hot and heavy, lacking the freshness you want in a new-release Pinot Noir. The flavors are of cherries and blackberries baked into a pie that got a little overcooked.

Citrusy and perfumed, with a bit of tomato-leaf herbalness thrown into the mix, this is a light, rainwater-fresh style of Sauvignon Blanc that needs more concentration and intensity before it can be…

Initially lean, but that's partly due to its youth. There is also fine, juicy fruit, pierced through with acidity, but offering tense tannins and some dark plum aftertaste.

A surprisingly lackluster performance for this well-known Western Australia brand. Lime and grapefruit flavors are clean and pleasant but the wine lacks much in the way of intensity or weight. It's g…

Pours kind of pale and feels light in body in the mouth, with acidic flavors of cherry skins and anise. Nice for its clean silkiness, but there's not a whole lot going on in terms of complexity.
