This fresh expression of Sangiovese Grosso offers tight berry aromas, with shades of spice and toasted almond in the background. Bright acidity brings up the rear.

From a well-regarded site in the Horse Heaven Hills, this pure Malbec is clean and well-proportioned, but a bit on the simple side. Plain red fruit flavors, accented with light barrel notes, quickly…

Coconut, vanilla and dill aromas sit on top of solid berry scents to form a classic Rioja bouquet. Feels fresh and agile, with acidity that allows the wine to dance around on the palate. Tastes of re…

Fair Play-based Perry Creek's Cab has high toned blue and red fruit and is tamely structured for being from high-elevation vineyards. Its finish is sweetly floral.

The vineyard is in Coombsville, a cool part of the valley that recently received official recognition as an AVA. The wine, which was made from 100% Cabernet, is soft, sweet and oaky, showing simple b…

Peppery notes emanate from the bouquet first, followed by more traditional notes of black plum, black currant leaf and dried fig. The mouth is loaded with more brambly fruit flavors against an easygo…

This edition of Soave Classico Runcaris offers simple aromas of pear, Golden Delicious apple, stone fruit and melon. There's a drying point of minerality at the back and crisp acidity to boot.

Give credit to Ballentine for sticking by this variety even when it's such a hard sell. It's a good wine, crisp and minerally, with sweet Pinot Grigio-like citrus, vanilla and spice flavors.

Sweet grass and soft baby powder notes mingle with the ripe gooseberry and lime aromas and flavors. Brisk and lively with a soft prickly sensation on the palate and a mouthwatering finish.

Tastes sweeter and fruitier than the 2009, which was dry, so if you like orange marmalade, pineapple tart and vanilla cookie sugariness in your Sauvignon Blancs, it's for you.

Here's a less formal expression of Garganega that would pair with eggplant curry and fragrant basmati rice. Aromatically speaking, the wine is extremely floral with layers of lemon blossom and jasmin…

A blend of four grapes, including Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier, the white Chaminé has a full feel to it. An open oily texture also preserves herbaceous crispness and a final burst of acidity.

Castelcerino is a broad, thick Soave Classico with mature aromas of melon, apricot and exotic fruit. This is a simple but genuine wine that can be employed in less formal occasions.

Inky black and foamy, this has wet earth, prune and peach pit aromas. The dry, vinous palate offers dried blackberry and crushed grape flavors set against firm acidity and slightly grainy tannins. It…

Grilled vegetable, celery and camphor aromas lead the nose of this wine. The palate is raw, tight and tense, showing oak, roasted coffee bean and bitter sage flavors alongside raspy tannins.

Earthy cherry aromas are downright raw, with a touch of green grass woven in. An acidic, choppy palate follows the nose, while this Garnacha from the Sierra de Salamanca region tastes of tart red cur…

Apple and peach aromas are clean at first but struggle to stay vital. This is citrusy on the tongue, with acidity similar to orange juice. Mild flavors of orange and pink grapefruit finish light and…

This is a big powerful overtly flavorful wine that demands attention. A vivid toasty savory aroma leads to rich spicy buttery nutty flavors that are mouth filling and a smooth, rather soft texture.

A heavy oak element dominates the aromas and flavors of this sweet-seeming, medium-bodied wine. It starts with toasted oak and smoked meat impressions and then gushes black-cherry and boysenberry not…

A deliciously rich wine, this is full of ripe fruit and rich wood and spice flavors. It is generous, layering peach and pear fruitiness cut with acidity. A tangy edge gives the wine an attractive bit…

A bright wine, this offers attractive fruit and a crisp texture.The tangy, zesty edge is refreshing, giving the wine a delicious lift at the end. Drink now.

Only in California's warmer regions will you find the enormously ripe cherries and blackberries this Cabernet offers. It's as sweet as jam. Likeable, even opulent, but would benefit from greater dryn…

Make this wine a little drier and the score would rise. As things are, it's just too sweet and one-dimensional in jammy raspberries and cherries, while oak brings buttered toast and roasted coconut f…

There's a sweet element of peach juice or passion fruit that opens the bouquet of this luminous sparkling Prosecco. Pair this wine with spicy pork rolls.
