Weedy underbrush and scorched soil aromas lead the way along with a smoked note. The bitter palate offers a green note of powdered sage and hazelnut but it lacks fruit. Clenching tannins grip the fin…

Fresh, fruity cherry, citrus and rose aromas are light and airy. This feels a bit raw and scratchy, while currant, red plum and brown sugar flavors finish juicy, snappy and uncushioned. This has all…

Powdery, soapy aromas are exotic but not fully convincing. Fresh but nothing more than wet and basic on the palate, this shows briny flavors of orange rind through the finish.

Toh! offers excellent value in the form of fragrant aromas of peach, honey, melon and light floral tones. The wine is lean and compact, yet offers that creamy smoothness that is characteristic of the…

Floral tones and aromas of ripe peach emerge from the nose of this luminous Pinot Grigio. This easy wine washes clean over the palate and leaves a fresh trail of citrus and passion fruit.

Caper flower and green olive take center stage, leaving a small margin of fruit-related aromas. Because of this wine's unique bouquet, you should pair it with Sicilian eggplant caponata or any dish i…

Neutral, fresh and regular on the nose, with mild white fruit aromas. The palate is sound but fleshy, with somewhat bland apple and pear flavors. Clear and solid on the finish, and overall you won't…

This is an easygoing wine with pleasing aromas of black fruit, plums, tobacco, moist earth and red beets. The wine is chewy but soft and slightly sweet in the mouth. That combination of flavors and s…

Fresh and clean are two words that describe this Roero Arneis but the wine also imparts a very distinctive drying sensation in the mouth thanks to its aromas of white stone and talc powder. The miner…

Linear mineral tones create an elegant frame for floral aromas and peach flavors. This is a thin wine, but also a very clean one with fresh acidity and citrus zest that wash clear over the palate.

Unusual aromas of pine needle, cough drop and herbal berries set the stage for a juicy, tight palate with raspberry, red plum and herbal flavors. Medium in length and intensity, with a smooth finish…

Mildly sharp and herbal smelling, with olive, plum and leather aromas. Healthy in the mouth, maybe a touch needle-like, but overall the wine's dry red fruit, pepper and herbal accents seem right for…

Here's a succulent and chewy red wine (“a wine for pizza”) with the prerequisite spice, blackberry aromas and natural acidity to pair with cooked tomato, oregano or stringy mozzarella. The wine is so…

‘Na Vota is a fresh and easygoing wine that is vinified in stainless steel to maintain its fresh berry and floral aromas. The wine has medium structure and staying power but does reward the palate wi…

With a bright red Vespa on its label, Rapido Red is a racy little wine (with a screwcap) that delivers tight, compact aromas of wild berry, currants and red licorice. The wine is clean and easy in th…

Small-production (300 cases total) SB from high-elevation vineyards with solid apple and citrus aromas. Basic but clean, with lemon, orange, grapefruit and nectarine flavors. Good for Argentina, whic…

Tight and a little stemmy, but overall the raspberry and cherry aromas outmuscle the rhubarby side. Tannic and grabby in the mouth, but not rough or jagged; flavors of red berries have an herbal acce…

Earthy plum and blackberry aromas are crisp and raw, with overt wood grain riding heavily on the bouquet. This is 60% Merlot and 40% Malbec; it feels grabby, while toasty, heavily oaked flavors of cl…

Citrus and sea spray aromas are restrained on the nose. The ample body carries flavors of mealy melon muddled with lemon rinds, which carries to the burnt-sugar finish.

Basic aromas are low on fruit. This has a cutting, citric feel that's centered around juicy acidity. Sour grapefruit and tangerine flavors end with lasting citric acidity.

Soupy raisiny aromas are hefty but lack precision. The palate mostly follows the nose, meaning this tastes of prune and raisin, with a hint of mocha. A thick chunky raisiny finish offers no surprises.

Bright aromas of melon, pear and herb lead to tart dry fruit flavors. The concentration comes off as quite light.

This self-described “soft” Cabernet is light and low in alcohol. Aromas of herbal berry fruits precede a round plump palate with jammy plum and currant flavors. While quaffable and a touch sweet, thi…

Gritty berry and bacon aromas are forceful. Matching the nose, the palate feels raw and rubbery. Astringent tannins dry out plum and currant flavors. This Malbec-led blend is punchy, herbal and roast…
