Herbal and fresh, but balanced by bright cherry fruit, this is a supple, medium-bodied wine that would go great with grilled steaks or burgers, The slightly dusty finish has just the right astringenc…

A good value in rosé, this Tavel is medium bodied yet remains bright and juicy in style. Raspberry and cherry fruit sets the mouth watering, then lingers harmoniously on the finish. Should drink well…

It's impressive how exciting old vine Carignan can be, and what an underrated grape it is. Here's proof that it makes big, perfumed wines, layered with dark tannins and wild flavors of herbs and dark…

A ripe, smooth wine, dominated by vanilla from wood and by red berry fruits. The tannic structure is subservient to the rich layers of mint and herbal flavors, while the fruit dominates. Finishes wit…

Aromatic, herbal wine, with evocative lavender, a core of dry tannins, fresh red plum juice fruit and flavors of wild thyme. The six years' aging has given the wine just the right amount of maturity…

Starts out rustic and leathery, with hints of smoke, leafiness and earth along with baked berry and spice. This four-grape wine has good density and mouthfeel that frames leather, earth and slightly…

Tannat, with its high tannins, seems to lend itself as well to sweet fortified wines as do the Douro grapes of Port country. This is sweet, but firmly, solidly tannic, packed with wild berries and an…

Balance and intensity are two of the main characteristics that distinguish this bottling. The central thrust of the wine is carried forward by youthful berry and cherry aromas, with pretty background…

Trine, named for the three main partners at Pepper Bridge winery, is predominantly equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with a final 12% of the blend divvied up among the other three Bordeaux r…

Rich and concentrated, this blend is mainly Merlot, with a little Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. The alcohol shows in the weight of the wine, but the freshness is still very present. Powerful, dark a…

This dark garnet-colored blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot has aromas of blackberry, raspberry and rose petal. Flavors of black cherry and anise with touches of green pe…

While Marsannay is mainly planted with Pinot Noir, there are small vineyards of Chardonnay, like this six-acre parcel. It has produced a fruity, ripe wine with a touch of minerality, along with wood…

A very buttery wine, it is soft, smooth and creamy in texture. Contrasting citrus flavors add a crisp touch. The acidity winds through the ripe fruit to give a bright edge.

This wine has unusual, penetrating, floral aromatics and a liqueur-like character. It was fermented in a mix of new and neutral French oak, and a caramel character comes in as the wine breathes open.…

Spiced plum, truffle, new leather, coconut and oak aromas lead the nose. Taut and tightly wound, the palate offers dried cherry, tart cranberry, espresso, anise and sage notes. Give the tannins anoth…

This is indicated as a reserve-level selection, but at the moment remains unfocused, and even a bit dilute. Tart fruits and tight tannins never quite fit together. The drying finish carries a hint of…

The nose is very shy: a mere hint of earthiness emanates. The slender palate shows very clean fruit of yellow apple residing on a slender lemony palate. This is fresh and sprightly with a dry finish.…

While it does have the structure of a Pommard, this is also a ripe, rounded wine. Its sweet red fruits surround the firm tannins offering richness. A wine that will offer sold pleasure in 3–4 years.

A beautifully perfumed wine that shows some of the structure of a Gevrey but combines this with dark rich fruits and sweet tannins. There is a smoky flavor that balances the ripe red fruits and final…

This wine is structured, with a strongly tannic character that's both fruity and tangy. A deliciously refreshing, zesty character gives lightness and lively acidity. Minerality cuts through to give a…

De Bortoli almost always seems to emphasize the savory side of wine, and this Heathcote Shiraz stays true to that philosophy. Black olive and espresso notes speak of Shiraz, while the the structure r…

This medium-weight rosé offers rich aromas and flavors of honeydew, hard strawberry and cherry, with additional hints of yellow flowers and garrigue herbs on the nose. Ample acidity keeps the palate…
