An attractively crisp wine, this has fragrant acidity and a lively raspberry-fruit character cut with a tight mineral edge. The wine is ready to drink.

A bit rugged in texture, with some jagged tannins, but the blackberry and cherry fruit is just fine, and the finish is dry and complex. Decant this young wine for a few hours to take the edge off.

A light, softly sparkling wine, its apple flavors laced with citric acidity, There is a yeasty edge, some bitter almonds and a final zing. Not for aging.

This wine with its tight black-currant character, is still also firm with tannins. It has a juicy edge that will develop well as the wine matures. With crisp acidity and structure, it should age. Dri…

The wine is ripe, weighty and full of fruit. Its tannins are already softening into the blackberry flavors. The sole question about this wine is the excessive wood aging that has given a burnt edge.…

Earthy, like some Napa Chards, with a sage and thyme edge to the pear and peach fruit. The wine also is a little soft. But there's an interesting minerality. Could develop bottle complexity over the…

It's an evocative name and that's what Provence rosé is about. The wine works well to fulfill that dream with its bright fruit and easy quaffable character. It has just a touch of spice to add an edg…

With an edge of sweet red currants and slightly sugared herb tea, this Zin can't really be called completely dry. But the tannin-acid balance is very fine, and makes the wine balanced and enjoyable.…

This 50-50 Merlot-Cab Franc blend is priced irresistibly low. Aromas include red cherry fruit, chocolate and spice that give it a modern edge. It has plenty of dimension and some oak nuances in the m…

A little tough and gritty around the edges, a rustic wine rich in extracted cherry and blackberry jam flavors. Plenty of strong tannins and zippy acidity too. Feels unresolved, and the question is wh…

This Chiles Valley producer, on the eastern edge of the Napa Valley, has made a big Chardonnay that doesn't exude much aromatically at first and veers sweet, but is otherwise balanced and could devel…

Age has mellowed this potent Port-style wine a bit but hardly tamed it. The dark auburn edge to the otherwise black color hints at its maturity as do the pruny nutty roasted-cherry flavors. It's very…

Bright aromas of freshly sliced pear, apple and spice are followed by lightly creamy fruit flavors that paint around the edges. It's a well-made wine but the middle seems missing.

This wine is soft and creamy with baked apple and pear flavors. A line of acidity gives freshness and a mineral edge, offering a texture that will allow the wine to age. Fruity and soft, it will be r…

En attraktiv, fruktig vin som er myk og jevn. Den har en frisk avslutning, selv om vinen også er full av gule frukter, moden aprikos og melon. Vinen er klar til å drikke.

Modne honningmelon- og grapefruktsmaker er preget av lime-aktig syrlighet i denne solfylte, tørre vinen. Den er forfriskende og sprø, med et hint av støvete mineral på ettersmaken.
