Juicy, yellow pear and red apple make for that irresistible sweet-sour combination. This is so full-flavored, rounded and yet fresh that you simply want to sip more and more. If you haven't yet disco…

This is complex, delicious, bold and tannic, bringing the big structure that is expected without being heavy handed. It offers concentrated blackberry and fig aromas, richly jammy flavors that stay d…

Delicious, rich black cherry aromas lead to a very firm and moderately tannic texture and medium to full body that frames abundant fruit flavors. It's mouthwatering, intense and complex, but is still…

Produced from a parcel of old vines, this wood-aged wine has spice as well as white fruits and a touch of honey. It's a generous wine with its toast, almonds and rounded texture. The lightest touch o…

Given more than two years in all-French oak, this 100% Cabernet impresses in balancing juicy red currant and cherry fruit against more savory tannin and herb. Structured, it should gain traction and…

Dark in color, dry and tannic, this 100% Syrah is rich in blackberry, dark chocolate, roasted meat and black pepper flavors. They combine with new oak to produce a wine of real complexity. This is on…

A Bordeaux-style blend of 56% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 4% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot, the Z is typically more immediately approachable than the Fusion V. The structure is s…

Hard, stringy tannins give a tough astringency to this 100% Cabernet. Partly they're from grape skins and partly from 100% new oak barrels. There's a huge core of black currants, however, and the fin…

Poggio Antico is one of the best estates in Montalcino but the 2008 vintage doesn't reach the impressive heights of 2006 or 2007 that showed much fuller and more generous results. This edition offers…

This is a light, bright, nearly clear bringing together of 51% Pinot Noir and 49% Chardonnay, just barely pink in color. It accentuates the beauty of both varieties, from Pinot's mix of cherry and wa…

The wonderfully peppery nature of Blaufränkisch makes itself felt here: this is appetizing, honest and fresh-faced. On the palate aromatic blueberries join in while freshness and pepper give verve an…

Very ripe pear plays on the enticing nose. The palate has the same refreshing and appetizing fruitiness. Lemony brightness pervades the light-bodied palate and makes for a very moreish finish.

A clean-cut nose of green pear leads onto an equally clean-cut palate of fresh pear. There is freshness and lots of lemony brightness on the light but precise palate. This is appetizing and moreish.

Truffle, new leather and plum are some of the aromas you'll find in this taut red. The palate delivers Morello cherry, crushed raspberry, star anise and earthy game flavors, set against bright acidit…

Single (777) clone, half new French oak, packed with flavor—this is ready to go. Concentrated flavors of black cherry, cola and vanilla, adorned even further with dusty sweet spices, make this a grab…

Dusty plum flavors meet baked bread aromas in this tightly-wound, tense vineyard-designated wine. It's marked by an undercurrent of pomegranate and rhubarb, the texture taking on more savory tones of…

There is an excellent depth of flavor in this ripe and fruity wine. It is more about rich fruits than it is about structure, giving a full and rounded character to the plum-jelly, spice and mint flav…

A beautiful, bargain-priced blend of Tinta Roriz (aka Tempranillo), Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa and Alvarelhão. Violet and jasmine perfumed, this wine is so, so pretty with just a stunning nos…

Hovering easily between red-fruit flavors and a more mature wood-aged taste, this is a smooth Port. It is dominated by a rich texture, both juicy and spicy with a smoky hint.

A big, bruising wine that is bursting with sweet tannins and juicy blackberry flavors. All of its acidity and attractive flavors of up-front fruit, spice and wood are clamoring for attention. Ready t…

The Shea is a bit of an anomaly at 13.7% in a vintage where the other Ken Wright Pinots float around the 12–12.5% mark. Not surprisingly, the fruit is thicker and the midpalate more full and broad, w…

This bottling from a vineyard west of the Sta. Rita Hills by David and Anna deLaski explores the lower ripeness, exotically spiced range of Pinot Noir. Aromas of tart boysenberry, sour hibiscus, suma…

Freshly cut green apple with a touch of lemon signals great refreshment on the nose. The palate has a touch more roundness, giving more flesh to the apple fruit. It still plays a brisk, dry Riesling…
