Aromas of tree bark and rooty fruit are balanced by floral notes, while the palate is angular and juicy, with acid-propelled berry and mild citrus flavors. Jumpy, fresh and tomatoey on the finish. Co…

Opens with red fruit aromas that are like a million other generic red wines, while the body has size, grab and stickiness. Flavors of cola, cherry, cassis and plum are red in nature and basically goo…

Pretty soft for a Pinot Noir, and lacking the structural integrity the variety needs. Nonetheless, the flavors of black and red cherries, cola, orange zest and spices are delicious. Drink now.

Creamy dark-berry aromas carry a floral, blueberry hint, while the thick palate teeters on syrupy as it delivers gummy, mildly baked black fruit flavors. Lactic and full on the finish, with a touch o…

Pale in color, this light-bodied Pinot Noir is appropriately supple in texture and offers modest berry and chocolate notes. The finish is surprisingly long, but a bit lemony. Drink now.

Aggressive in texture, this Syrah-based Rhône-style blend has jagged tannins and a sharp green-peppercorn flavor. With its rough-and-tumble mouthfeel, it calls to be paired with simple fare, like tac…

This medium-bodied Pinot features slightly dry tannins, but otherwise delivers attractive aromas and flavors of dark cherries and button mushrooms, joined by hints of earth and spice. Drink now.

Stagecoach is a highly regarded vineyard, but this Zinfandel doesn't show it at its best. This wine is too high in alcohol, and it has Port-like prune and blackberry flavors. It has hard tannins that…

Despite this estate remaining among the top echelon of New Zealand Riesling producers, Framingham's Pinot Noir is solid but unexciting. It's plump and medium bodied, and it offers modest cherry fruit…

Lightly abrasive, scratchy aromas of red fruits include a note of bath soap. A lean, prickly palate holds sweet berry and tart plum flavors that struggle to blend. A medicinal tasting finish is regul…

Raisin-baked plum defines this hearty, full-bodied and ultraripe wine, rich in red berry and robust on the finish.

This wine is soft, gently fruity with light raspberry and red-currant flavors. An attractive zesty lemon character adds to this pale-colored wine.

Apple cider, night jasmine, ripe pears and orange cream aromas show on this sweeter bottling. The palate is quite clean and crisp, with rich apple juice flavors and a tactile acidity that fades fairl…

With 80% Petite Sirah and 20% Zinfandel, this is a juicy, lush red with a solid structure, moderate gripping tannins and a long finish. Red plum, cherry and milk chocolate fill the bouquet while swee…

Here's a fresh and luminous wine from Sicily to pair with fried finger foods and appetizers. The wine is crisp and bright and utterly easy-going on both the nose and palate.

Super-fruity, offering a blast of blackberries, cherries, chocolate, persimmons, red plums and bacon, finished with enormous spices. The wine is technically dry but tastes sweet with high-alcohol gly…

A little rusty in color, with earthy, stemmy, baked fruit aromas mixed with a dose of dried leaves. Seems a lot like Cabernet Franc with its herbal, leafy overtones and dry plum and cherry flavors. F…

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.

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.

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…

Pale yellow in color, this Gewürz has aromas of ripe apple, Asian pear and canteloupe complemented by flavors of fresh peach and light ginger spice. A round, somewhat fat mouthfeel followed by a cris…

Frankly sweet and almost flabby, with plenty of sugar, petrolly minerality and ripe pear flavors, but this wine lacks the buoyant citrusy zest needed for balance and length.

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.
