This Aleatico made from sun-dried grapes is a perfect companion to chocolate-based desserts. It's a red, sweet wine from the Tuscan island of Elba with aromas of black cherry, jam, pomegranate and sp…

Young, bright berry aromas lead on this appealing red. Balanced red fruit, minerals and a touch of spice are friendly and appealing, though not terribly complex. A great everyday red.

A warm, uncomplicated wine. The nose delivers oak and aromas of balsamic dressing, pencil shavings and chunky blackberry. Chunky is also the best way to describe the palate, which emphasizes blackber…

The color and aromas are true to both Pinot Noir and Chile's Pinot-friendly Casablanca Valley. Dried fruit, citrus and pie cherry aromas take it toward a potpourri of red-fruit flavors. The only weak…

This is a traditional take on Vernaccia with aromas of stone fruit and almond delivered directly from the essence of the grape. There's a tiny touch of smoke or toast in the background and the mouthf…

A ton of oak aromas hit with force: there's butterscotch, mocha and caramel leading the pack. The palate is pretty jacked up on sweet cassis and berry flavors, so don't expect too much in the way of…

The majority of Calina's wines are solid and worth their price, as is this lively Cab. It gets going with forward aromas of leather, cassis and earth. The palate isn't super structured or advanced bu…

This youthful wine is heavy on oak with aromas of toast, vanilla and coffee bean backed by black cherry, leather and tobacco. There's good depth and dimension, especially in the mouth, thanks to the…

This is a lean white wine with pretty aromas of stone fruit and some banana and mango. There's a bit more flesh and pulp here, which makes the wine suitable for freshwater fish or pasta salad.

Lungarotti's bright Pinot Grigio from Umbria offers sunny aromas of peach, orange peel and honeysuckle. There are mature fruit notes here with sweet overtones that would work with appetizers or light…

Sweet, nutty aromas are akin to banana bread and candle wax, while the palate is creamy and resiny, with oily flavors of baked apple and vanilla. Full-bodied, thick, creamy and sticky; your typical t…

This starts out with a whiff of earth and compost that transitions to olive, tree bark and herbal berry aromas upon airing. The palate feels good, with midlevel tannic bite and light, woody flavors o…

Toast, black fruit and herbal aromas are 100% typical of value-priced Merlot from Chile. This feels fresh, wiry and a bit choppy, while herbal plum and raspberry flavors come with touches of licorice…

This has aromas of wood, vanilla and toast. The palate is already evolved and tired, and it lacks the fruit richness to carry off the oak.

This opens with nutty aromas that eventually reveal subdued notes of fruit and spice. The palate is lean, with walnut flavors and hints of dried cherry and nutmeg. It lacks fruit richness and has a b…

Savory oak, mint and leather aromas accent basic blackberry and plum scents. This feels round, full-bodied and oaky, and that character carries onto the flavor profile, which includes minty wood and…

One whiff says this hails from a warmer region like Maule as opposed to someplace cool and coastal. The aromas are tropical more than zesty, with notes of mango and banana. On the palate, this is rou…

This screaming vintage of Secreto is the living definition of pungency. Immediately it hits with fierce gooseberry and nettle aromas along with passion fruit and grapefruit. The palate is acidic and…

This brut has heavy aromas of liqueur di dosage, along with subdued citrus and pear notes. It lacks fruit richness and finishes on a dry, bitter note of walnut.

With its apricot and ripe pear aromas, this is a full and rounded wine. It has a good balance between acidity and ripe fruit. It is floral, smooth and ready to drink.

Brandied cherry aromas are a touch stalky and hot, but overall this opens well. Edgy in feel, this Cab shows baked berry flavors and scratchy acidity in front of a stalky, roasted tasting finish.

Jammy, somewhat green aromas are suggestive of tomato sauce with oregano and thyme. This feels full, creamy and thick, with earthy, herbal berry flavors that finish with creamy weight and chewy tanni…
