This Sangiovese and Syrah blend opens with slightly burnt aromas of tar and campfire, and it has background notes of dried fruit and leather. It feels dry and a bit flat on the finish.

Mint, cedar and clove aromas are followed by pepper, clove and black fruit flavors. It's not overly complex, but it offers distinctive indigenous character, and it will pair nicely with grilled meat.

This Romanian Chardonnay is golden straw in color with green reflections. It has aromas of green apple and Bartlett pear and flavors of lemon, apple and peach juice. The finish is crisp, but just a t…

Minty new wood aromas are the theme in this wood-laden wine. It has a burnt character from high extraction and wood aging, making it hard to discern the fruit, although there is a juicy character at…

This wine's strawberry jam aromas lead to a palate dominated by tannins. It's dry and missing fruit.

This light to medium-bodied wine follows initially earthy and metallic aromas with decent plum flavors. The aroma clears up with time and the wine's soft texture and fruitiness peek through.

Prickly aromas are short on fruit. This is a streamlined SB with spritz on the palate. Lean citrus flavors are briny and slightly bitter on the finish.

Rustic aromas like earth and dried leaves are followed by rather lean red-cherry and rhubarb flavors in this medium-bodied wine.

Prune, grilled herb and a whiff of salted-game aromas carry over to the light-bodied palate along with dried black cherry and a hint of clove. It's über-simple, with loose fleeting tannins.

Bread-like, yeasty aromas adorn a simple thickness of smoky char, dark cherry and bold concentration in this wine, which seems heartier than the varietal tends to be.

Overripe, jammy fruit aromas and flavors spoil this wine. It's oddly balanced: soft on the one hand and tough on the other.

Smoky aromas from wood aging show again strongly in the tough wooden plank notes that dominate this wine. It's a shame, because the fruit is there.

Stalky black currant fruit aromas and a spicy, stalky character on the palate define this tight, dry wine. It's young and tough now, so give it another year and drink from 2018.

Strong spicy meaty aromas and equally assertive oak and char flavors threaten to overwhelm the fruity aspects of this dry wine but it has enough concentration to match the firm tannins. Best after 20…

This wine is an oak bomb, from the wood smoke and charcoal aromas to the heavily roasted toasted flavors and woody tannins that make for a drying finish.

Here's a luminous sparkling wine that plays up its Italian good cheer. It's a simple and straightforward expression with characteristic aromas of cut grass, stone fruit and citrus that makes for an i…

Simple aromas of lemon and lychee are just fresh enough, while the palate offers good feel and pithy, somewhat bland flavors of the same fruits that appear on the bouquet. The finish is lemony, and o…

The luminous sparkler offers sweet aromas of peach, honey and jasmine. Pair this this bubbly treat with oatmeal cookies or sponge cake.

La Meirana is an informal and bright sparkling wine that delivers floral aromas of honeysuckle and acacia backed by sweet almond and peach. It shows light bubbling that fades fast in the glass.

Starts out with mildly herbal, salad-dressing aromas, but the palate is fairly full and creamy, with soft tomato, spice and generic berry flavors. Fresh due to adequate acidity, but tastes a little h…

Earthy smelling, with black-fruit aromas that sit heavy in the glass. The palate pushes black cherry flavors and outsized acidity, and it only gets sharper on the back palate and finish. Flavorful an…

Minty and earthy, with aromas of plum, rubber and herbs. The palate is straight down the middle in terms of feel, while the flavors turn brambly and herbal, something the finish matches. Basic and a…

The banana aromas are off-putting in this light, juicy wine. Although there are tannins, they are not enough to make sense of the simple, jammy fruit.

Sweet and baked smelling, with foxy core aromas that suggest wet dog fur. The palate is loud and wild, with foxy, unsettled flavors of wild berry and cherry. Runs low on layering, structure and body,…
