The nose on this appellation blend is kind of sour, with gravel, blackberry and blueberry. The palate is also a bit sour and bitter, with beet juice, juniper and eucalyptus notes.

Dry, saline-like overtones on jumpy plum and berry aromas and a hard, tannic palate make for a tough beginning. Equally tough berry fruit flavors have skins and bitterness issues, while the finish is…

This light-bodied and lightly sweet sparkling wine is light blue in color, has a very fruity flavor and rather soft mouthfeel despite the frothy bubbles.

A blend of 64% Pinot Noir and 36% Chardonnay, this pale rosé is light and slightly searing, with high acidicy and faint notes of strawberry hull and firm peach on the nose and mouth.

The peachy color of this bubbly wine is appropriate because the aromas and flavors are effusively peachy, too. It is light bodied, very sweet and has been flavored with something other than grapes.

On the nose, this nonvintage sparkler from the Ukraine has primary notes of yeast and freshly baked bread There are soft flavors of green apple and peach in the mouth with gentle persistent bubbles.

While this wine shows some of the softness and richness of 2003, it keeps a light touch and the acidity and black fruits remain fresh. There is an edge of astringency that leaves a hard aftertaste.

On paper, this is an interesting blend of Aragonez and Cabernet; however, this fruity wine is much simpler than that. There is a spice element that adds some complexity, but the palate concentrates m…

This overpriced Cava is all about the packaging and not much about the quality of the wine in the bottle. It smells acrid and burnt, and while the mouthfeel is fine, it tastes sulfuric and dried out,…

This is pricey for what you get. It's a blend of 50% Riesling with 40% Albariño and 10% Sauvignon, and frankly it smells a bit oily and stalky, while the palate is soft and the flavors suggest underr…

Normally I'm a fan of Juvé y Camps. This bottling is bland on the nose, with a cleaning-solution aroma. The palate is foamy in feel and short in flavor, with a strange blend of bitter lettuce, brine…

This is a soft, unfocused wine that only hints at fruitiness. It is rounded and full bodied, with a touch of pepper as well as lemon zest acidity at the end.

Funky on the nose, then tangy and briny in the mouth, with lemon, green notes and pickled flavors that lose clarity and fruit content with airing. This tastes green, ashy and stretched on the finish.…

A simple wine, soft and candied, with raspberry and cherry flavors. It's a Rhône-style blend based on Syrah.

This semi-sweet Cava boasts a mostly neutral nose. On the palate, it feels like flat soda, with candied lemon-lime flavors that finish lightly oxidized and wheaty.

This organic wine was made without added preservatives. After swampy aromas, the flavors are nicely fruity and herbaceous, with a light-medium body and a clean finish.

Faint aromas suggest white gumdrop. This feels flat, with flavors of spicy, yeasty apple and a soft, fleeting finish.

Vague tropical fruit aromas give way to a petrol note. High in acid but even higher in sugar, this offers flavors of orange and lime that finish fast.

This brut nature is citric and bubbly on the palate after opening with aromas of weeds and spring onion. Flavors of lemon, herbs, onion and mustard coalesce in front of a bitter finish.

This is a hard-edged wine with a chemical character. It's tough both in tannins and extracted fruits.

The fruit is extremely extracted, making for a wine that is tough, very firm and hard without the juicy character needed to see it through.

Bread and yeasty aromas lead to a wine that has tannins and wood aging, leaving the fruitiness behind.

Strong wood flavors have smothered the fruit, leaving vanilla, spice and milk chocolate as the main flavors. Gérard Laurent blends 65% Cabernet Franc and 35% Malbec from biodynamic and organic vineya…

Herbal aromas give a crisp character. The fruit is not entirely ripe, so the wine relies on its tannins and acidity to get balance.
