This limited-production wine is a bit tough and awkward now, but may turn the corner in the cellar after 2009. It's softly dry and tannic, with herb-infused cherry and currant flavors.

Aromas of apricot, honey and vanilla give this dessert wine a luscious start. On the palate, balanced, creamy flavors of citrus, fruit and honey linger. Full but not cloying, the wine will pair well…

Dusty and dry smelling, with apple and lettuce on the nose. Flavors of green apple are glazed with spice and cinnamon, while the finish leans on papaya and pretty good mouthfeel and texture. Very bas…

An earthy, traditional tasting wine, expressing the dark schist terroir of the Douro. The structure is taut, dry, tannic, but it leaves room for a wine that has some volatility and blackberry juice f…

Elegant aromas of red currant, cherry and pepper start this solid Cab from Idaho. On the palate, oak and fruit integration gives the wine a smooth, rich style. Unfolding and full of personality. Pair…

A nose of creamy toast and spice leads this round, smooth Chardonnay. Full and weighty on the palate with a pert, spicy spin, the wine is dependable and serious.

Quite ripe on the nose, such that raisin and sweetness are front and center. Saturated in the mouth, but as a whole it's a bit flabby and, for the most part, it's neither here nor there. Flavors of p…

An expression of Riesling Renano grapes, Il Torrione has a saturated golden color and opens with aromas of apricot, lemon zest, yellow rose and caramel butterscotch. It shows a smooth, ripe mouthfeel…

From the Montenetto di Brescia wine region of Lombardy, this easy expression of Marzemino presents a nicely saturated brick color and opens with ripe aromas of black fruit, cherry, plum, tobacco and…

This unusual blend, occasionally found in Alsace, gives a wine that is full and perfumed. It offers almond and spice flavors along with a tight texture. The wine, with its warm acidity, is ready to d…

Weedy underbrush and scorched soil aromas lead the way along with a smoked note. The bitter palate offers a green note of powdered sage and hazelnut but it lacks fruit. Clenching tannins grip the fin…

Fresh, fruity cherry, citrus and rose aromas are light and airy. This feels a bit raw and scratchy, while currant, red plum and brown sugar flavors finish juicy, snappy and uncushioned. This has all…

This bottling's extreme grapefruit pithiness meets with rainy cement and a touch of rubber on the nose. The flavors are quite reductive, with tar and sour crab apple touches.

This ripe yet varietally true style features scents of baked pear, ripe melon, cinnamon and allspice. This is plump but lacking true depth, finishing short.

This medium-bodied wine doesn't show much of the variety's mouthfeel, but does show clean, dry flavors of melon and citrus. Enjoy it now through the end of 2016.

A magnetic nose of cinnamon spice and cigarbox leads this elegant Cabernet from Excelsior, and it's followed by balanced cherry and blackberry fruit flavors. Firm tannins, good acidity and an overall…

A very nice everyday wine, bone dry and savory in acidity. Shows polished flavors of lemongrass, vanilla, cinnamon pepper and wildflowers. Puts everything else at this price to shame.

An unusual blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chard, Pinot Grigio and Viognier, and a really nice wine at a great price. Not exactly dry, but crisp and clean, with plenty of fruit, spice and vanilla flavors.

The simplest wine in the Donabaum portfolio, a lively, fresh apples and cream flavored wine that makes a great apéritif style. There's just the right edge of crispness to add to the pleasure. Screwca…

Floral tones and aromas of ripe peach emerge from the nose of this luminous Pinot Grigio. This easy wine washes clean over the palate and leaves a fresh trail of citrus and passion fruit.

Attractive, very crisp rosé, its strawberry fruit flavors given a delicious lift with citrus and caramel. It may be a 2006, but it still has all its freshness. Screwcap.

Fragrant and floral, this is a deliciously easy wine, a blend of the local Gascon Colombard grape with Ugni Blanc. There are flavors of grapefruit, white fruits and a light, crisp green aftertaste. S…

A light, sprightly and vivacious wine that has white fruits, spring blossom perfume and a crisp, tensely acidic aftertaste. What it lacks in intensity it makes up for in its delicious, refreshing sty…

Rubbery, smoky and a little crusty smelling, with creamy, mildly lactic berry flavors and feel. The wine has an oaky stickiness to it that is most present late. While neither heavy nor stewed, this w…
