This 100% varietal wine shows medicine cabinet, barnyard, Band-Aid and dried fruit aromas followed by dried out fruit and medicinal flavors. The tannins bring some dryness.
Smells like pineapple blended with lemon candy. Zesty in the mouth, with crisp lemon, lime, bell pepper and a touch of mineral stoniness. Long on the finish, and for a wine of this price it's deliver…
Here's a good Cabernet to drink now. It's soft and gritty in tannins, with ripely forward blackberry, cherry and currant flavors, coated with sweet, smoky oak.
Here's a crisp, mineral-driven Sauvignon from northern Italy with background aromas of peach, honeydew melon and white peach. The wine shows medium consistency and good staying power with a dry, cris…
There's a milky, lactic aspect to this wine that takes a few seconds to absorb. Once you do, the nose is greeted by cherry and black spice. The mouthfeel is determined and sharp.
The name Grignolino comes from the dialect word for “seeds.” The grape, on the other hand, requires special winemaking techniques in order to soften the wine's tannins due to the natural abundance of…
Here's a good Sauvignon Blanc that will go well with a wide range of foods. Clean, crisp and a little sweet, it has pleasant pineapple, lemon, lime and vanilla flavors.
Bargain hunters should like this mildly medicinal Cab because it's got raspberry and black fruit character and only minor faults, i.e. slight medicinality. Otherwise it's fruity, steady and respectab…
After an initial blast of earth and lettuce, this Cabernet finds some of its fruity essence. But still, it has persistent green notes that interfere with the wine's candied black fruit component. Fin…
This is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Gewürztraminer and Semillon. It's nicely crisp in acids, with sweet, jammy pineapple, apricot, peach, vanilla and cinnamon spice flavors. Good with A…
A wine with faults and a few positives. On the nose, it's roasted almost to the point of being overdone. It smells like baked fruit, roasted peanuts and tire tread. Doesn't sound great, does it? But…
This limited-production wine is a bit tough and awkward now, but may turn the corner in the cellar after 2009. It's softly dry and tannic, with herb-infused cherry and currant flavors.
Bone dry and earthy, this Cab shows modest flavors of blackberries, currants and mocha. It's a clean, affordable wine that's good for an everyday red.
Elegant aromas of red currant, cherry and pepper start this solid Cab from Idaho. On the palate, oak and fruit integration gives the wine a smooth, rich style. Unfolding and full of personality. Pair…
Soft, full-bodied wine. It has an oily, smooth sheen, with the flavors of pear and apricot just leavened by acidity. This is certainly a warm-climate white, designed for food rather than apéritif.
Dark and crusty on the nose, with cola, raisin and foresty dampness. The palate has wintergreen along with solid black cherry flavors, while accents of pepper and licorice give it a dark side. Finish…
A Bordeaux style blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, this is a terrific value for easy entertaining that is sure to please most palates. Moderately intense with prominent black plum, cher…
Hard to say who this wine is made for; must be the old schooler who likes lightness and elegance. Starts with gritty, rooty, mature aromas of tobacco and leaves, with red fruit scents mixed in. The p…
An expression of Riesling Renano grapes, Il Torrione has a saturated golden color and opens with aromas of apricot, lemon zest, yellow rose and caramel butterscotch. It shows a smooth, ripe mouthfeel…
From the Montenetto di Brescia wine region of Lombardy, this easy expression of Marzemino presents a nicely saturated brick color and opens with ripe aromas of black fruit, cherry, plum, tobacco and…
The blend is Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache. The alcohol is high, which helps balance the apparent sweetness of this wine. The result is raspberry jam.
A magnetic nose of cinnamon spice and cigarbox leads this elegant Cabernet from Excelsior, and it's followed by balanced cherry and blackberry fruit flavors. Firm tannins, good acidity and an overall…
A brisk, savory Sauvignon Blanc with rich flavors of citrus fruits, lemongrass, green melons, figs and smoky vanilla spice. Tastes a little on the sweet side.
An unusual blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chard, Pinot Grigio and Viognier, and a really nice wine at a great price. Not exactly dry, but crisp and clean, with plenty of fruit, spice and vanilla flavors.
