Sweeter whiffs of milk chocolate, baking spice and graham cracker accenting black fruit on the nose are replaced by more herbaceous tones of herb and bramble on the palate of this red blend. It's a j…

Ripe wine, pushing its toast, pear and apricot flavors. Smooth, with an English walnut taste, and green herb acidity. Ready to drink now.

The rich gold hue and the scents of bruised, slightly cooked fruit, suggest that premature oxidation is setting in. Two bottles were tasted, with comparable results. It's lemony, somewhat oily, penet…

A yellowish tint and woody aromas include a note of baked apple. A somewhat full-bodied palate is endowed with a resiny texture, while this tastes of woody dried apple and papaya. Round and persisten…

Strong scents and flavors of oak and spice mask the fruit. It feels a bit flat on the palate, as if heading toward early oxidation. The oak and butterscotch flavors carry through onto the finish. Two…

A strong streak of pure vanilla highlights the flavors here. The fruit tastes of fresh-picked strawberries. This is 100% Syrah made from estate-grown fruit.

This is dry, tart and a little one-dimensional, yet elegant, offering red cherry and cola flavors and a wintertime taste of Christmas persimmons. Drink now.

A scintillating scent of rose petals opens up this pleasing wine, which continues with raspberry and cherry fruit, accented with light milk chocolate. It is not a heavy wine; in fact, if Franc can ev…

Clean, fresh, stony aromas are basic but good. A round palate benefits from citric kick, while this tastes of mixed tropical fruits backed by skins-based bitterness.

This is a smooth, ripe and generous wine befitting southern Merlot. It has just the right amount of acidity, black currant fruitiness and a smoky aftertaste.

This is a soft, easygoing style from the Millets, now in their third generation in Sancerre. With attractive white stone fruits and a citrus streak, the wine has delicious refreshing acidity and a li…

This is a full and chunky type of New World Chardonnay, with an oily, mildly stalky nose that offers corn and apple aromas. It feels big across the palate and tastes toasted and peachy, with a fresh…

This leathery, full-bodied red is rich with blueberry cobbler, coffee and smoked meat flavors. Soft and round in structure, it tastes robustly varietal.

Selected from a portion of the family vineyard, this soft wine, named after the owner of the estate, is gently ripe but with the potential to bring out even more fruitiness. The aftertaste is crisp a…

There's good dense fruit here, with a blackberry jam quality to the ripe fruit. The wine misses some richness, but makes up for it with its lively smooth tannins and acidity, and ripe, juicy aftertas…

There's an attractive meaty or earthy quality to this Primitivo that gives the wine dimension and personality. Black olive, red berry and spice come through and the wine tastes thick and succulent in…

Full in style, this is a lemon-scented, peach-flavored wine. It has some richness to it both from the ripe fruit and the textured acidity that gives a tight tang to the aftertaste. The needs to age f…

Was it the chilly vintage that made this wine so elusive? Tasted in the spring, it was oaky and jammy with raspberries and cherries, with the astringent tannins of green herb tea. Hard to tell where…

Just bottled when tasted, this is a wine that needs a few months to come together. Its ripe pear and apricot fruit and dense flavor will offer a full, rounded wine that goes more for a tropical Sauvi…

This golden Chardonnay is loaded with rich, oaky aromas of corn pudding, butterscotch, baked apple and wood grain. Plump and soft on the palate, this tastes of baked apple, creamed corn and buttery o…

Citrusy aromas suggest white grapefruit. Plump but balanced in feel, this tastes a bit salty and briny, maybe a reflection of its partial coastal grapes, something that's new to Argentina. The briny…

The Sacy is a rare variety found only in a corner of the Yonne Valley west of Chablis and in the small Loire appellation of Saint-Pourçain where it is known as Tressallier. This is a spicy wine with…
