The wine is full of the warmth of the Alentejo sun. While it does have a crisp and juicy side, it is the richness and concentration that makes it attractive. Black fruits and toast from the oak aging…
An unusual find of an old vintage currently available, this is certainly a mature wine. In fact, it is beginning to dry out—focused on old tannins rather than on the wonderful secondary flavors of a…
It is fascinating how some wines from this vintage have gone from youth to old age without passing maturity. That's the case here: this wine is showing age, with tannins that have become dry, leaving…
This wine is dry and smoky, with serious tannins. It is concentrated, with bitter chocolate flavors from the wood aging.
This is a spicy wood-laden wine. Considering it is three-years-old, it seems likely that the burnt-wood flavor will remain. That spoils what is otherwise a ripe and juicy wine with fine black fruits.
Red cherry, strawberry and black-pepper aromas follow through to the simple rustic palate along with hints of cured meat and bitter almond. It's vivacious, with lively acidity.
The rarely used Atlantique appellation covers much the same region as Bordeaux, with less stringent rules. This 100% Sauvignon Blanc wine is fruity, easy, soft and full of citrus flavors. Drink now.
Dusty aromas come with notes of ham and tropical fruits. This is more blah than focused. Tropical fruits, grapefruit and pickle brine comprise the flavors prior to a salty, slightly green finish.
The blend of Bical and Arinto is typical of the sparkling wines from the Bairrada region. Together they give a crisp style of wine, bright with acidity and tangy with citrus and orange peel. The wine…
Chemical resiny aromas stand out more than fruit. This Viura-led blend feels tight, tangy and acidic. Salty flavors of persimmon lack fruitiness. This 12% ABV wine from a cold vintage tastes salty on…
A light-gold color and mild white-fruit aromas set up a palate with lightly oxidized apple flavors. This Viura seems to be losing steam given that the finish is more bready and cidery in flavor than…
This is a tight wine, firm with tannins and with a bitter edge. Jammy cherry fruits lie behind this structure, along with acidity. The wine will soften and be ready to drink from 2018.
Pretty pink-flower tones lead the nose of this white blend, framed by fruity notes of white peach, lychee and musky grape. The palate is surprisingly light in feel, with ripe fruit flavors and good a…
This is a Mâcon region-wide blend, simple and fruity with an attractively crisp texture. It has a citrus character, slightly salty as well as tangy with orange zest. Drink now.
Tastes a little sweet for a true brut, with sugary flavors of strawberries, raspberries and vanilla, and the finish is soft. The blend is French Colombard, Chardonnay and Sangiovese.
There's a milky, lactic aspect to this wine that takes a few seconds to absorb. Once you do, the nose is greeted by cherry and black spice. The mouthfeel is determined and sharp.
This is a light, compact Roero Riserva (made with Nebbiolo grapes) that shows drying tannins and sharp aromas of wild berry, citrus zest and white almond.
Light in appearance with ruby highlights, this Roero delivers easy aromas of tar, cassis, rose and licorice. The wine is light, fresh and sharp with a lean, watery finish.
This opens with toasted oak, eucalyptus and violet aromas. The palate is tight and compressed, showing toasted oak and black spice flavors alongside grainy tannins that leave an astringent, mouth-dry…
If you like a little sugary sweetness in your white wines, this is a good one. It's crisp in acidity and very clean, with pie-filling flavors of pineapples, apricots, green apples, vanilla and honeys…
This is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Gewürztraminer and Semillon. It's nicely crisp in acids, with sweet, jammy pineapple, apricot, peach, vanilla and cinnamon spice flavors. Good with A…
Firm, chewy tannins and jammy black cherry flavors mark this dry red wine. It has nuances of currants and anise. Needs oily meats and cheeses to coax out the sweetness.
A wine with faults and a few positives. On the nose, it's roasted almost to the point of being overdone. It smells like baked fruit, roasted peanuts and tire tread. Doesn't sound great, does it? But…
Luscious aromas of lemon, sweet orange and honey are followed by a burst of honey, orange and spice in this indulgent dessert wine. A choice for fans of unctuous, sweet styles, the wine can be paired…
