This wine is 76% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and 9% Grenache. Aromas of black fruit, bittersweet chocolate, coffee, raw meat and spice are followed by smooth black-coffee flavors. It lingers on the finish.

What sets this wine apart are the cooling aromas of chopped mint and white licorice. It delivers tangy layers of black olive, resin, tar, tobacco leaf and sweet cinnamon stick.

Nothing is out of place in this wine: It's intense, but it's not too strong, and the bouquet shows a balance of sweet fruit and savory spice aromas.

A wine strong in personality and yet restrained in taste, rich in green olives, violets and herbs, surrounded by soft tannins and earthy black pepper. Structured, age this baby for 3–7 years and the…

Bellavista's Gran Cuvée Brut offers a pretty floral fragrance of acacia, orange blossom and beeswax. The creamy palate delivers intense honey flavors, along with citrus and toasted almond nuances. It…

Still dominated by its new wood aromas, this is a fine, structured wine that is only just setting out. It has fine weight, rich blackberry fruits and dark tannins. The spicy wood still needs to integ…

This is an elegant, smooth wine that draws out the freshness of the vintage as much as the fruitiness. It has ripe, soft tannins, juicy red-fruit flavors and an intriguing smokiness. With acidity hol…

This bottling by Foxen has been consistent over the years in producing a wine of great varietal purity. The 2012 vintage is a dry, crisply mouthwatering wine with gooseberry, grapefruit and peach fla…

A pitch-black color is a good indication of the power and concentration this old-vine Malbec has in store. Aromas of blackberry, fir forest and ink set up an over-the-top-rich palate, with heavy extr…

Rich and robust with smooth tannins, this Lake County Cabernet tastes deliciously austere, with leather, cedar and earth layered over crisp mountain berry fruit. More like the Xurus 2007 than the 200…

Light and delicate bubblegum aromas are cut by pink lemonade, a touch of honeydew and a peachy ripeness on this blend of 67% Grenache, 22% Picpoul Blanc, 8% Mourvèdre and 3% Syrah. There is lots of m…

Starts off with a minerally, slightly fumé-style note, then adds herbal and leafy notes and white grapefruit flavors. From New Zealand's first carbon-neutral winery, this medium-bodied Sauvignon Blan…

With no oak influence, this Sauvignon Blanc was cool-fermented, preserving fresh fruit, and it did not undergo malolactic fermentation, so that the acidity is brisk. It was aged on the lees. That is…

Fresh and fruity, this is already an attractive wine. It shows concentrated tannins, although they are balanced by the rich black plum and damson fruits. There is a fresh streak to the wine that give…

This is complex wine, still young, with intense fruitiness and a tight, tense structure. Flavors of oak aging are subtle, just giving extra richness to the wine. It needs to age, allowing its fruit a…

A blend of grapes from different regions of the Douro, this is a ripe, concentrated wine. Perfumed black fruits and plenty of acidity give it a crisp while smooth texture. The wine is well in balance…

A blend of grand and premier cru Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, this lightly mineral-textured wine is focused on ripe apples and delicate citrus flavors. Still all about fruit, this bottling (d…

Very dry and tannic, a style of Cabernet that relies more on structure than flash. Despite fairly high alcohol, it keeps a tight rein on the blackberries and cedar, locking the flavors in astringency…

In the classic Portuguese tradition, this is a blend of four of the Alentejo's local grapes. Together they give big power and dark tannins. They also offer great black fruits, fresh acidity and a fir…

Aromas suggest red berry with a touch of vanilla and a balsamic note. The radiant palate delivers wild cherry, baking spice and a hint of pipe tobacco alongside fresh acidity and silky tannins. Drink…

The inaugural offering of this block-designate is dark and brooding, with tightly constructed, sizable tannins and oak still pronounced on the palate. Time should develop its floral notes of rose and…
