This is an easygoing wine with pleasing aromas of black fruit, plums, tobacco, moist earth and red beets. The wine is chewy but soft and slightly sweet in the mouth. That combination of flavors and s…

Fresh and clean are two words that describe this Roero Arneis but the wine also imparts a very distinctive drying sensation in the mouth thanks to its aromas of white stone and talc powder. The miner…

Unusual aromas of pine needle, cough drop and herbal berries set the stage for a juicy, tight palate with raspberry, red plum and herbal flavors. Medium in length and intensity, with a smooth finish…

A blend of Zinfandel and Syrah, this wine is exceptionally ripe in jammy berry, cocoa and spice flavors. With gentle tannins and a slightly sweet finish, it's an easy sipper.

Here's a succulent and chewy red wine (“a wine for pizza”) with the prerequisite spice, blackberry aromas and natural acidity to pair with cooked tomato, oregano or stringy mozzarella. The wine is so…

Small-production (300 cases total) SB from high-elevation vineyards with solid apple and citrus aromas. Basic but clean, with lemon, orange, grapefruit and nectarine flavors. Good for Argentina, whic…

Medium gold in color, with a slight pink hue, this carries the aroma of canned tropical-fruit cocktail—tin and all. The peach-juice palate is viscous and round, almost oily, while the tart, tropical…

Herbal and juicy, this is a straightforward, larger-production wine with a grip of tannins supporting waves of coconut and red and black berry. It's well priced for the quality and is a good choice f…

Blending Pinot Noir and Gamay, this wine comes from a new Burgundy-wide appellation that can include fruit from Beaujolais. It's a style of wine that needs to be drunk young and fruity, with black ch…

Violet, tilled earth and red currant tones mark the nose and palate. The crisp acidity races down the midpalate, leading the fleeting flavors and mild tannins to a short finish.

While the majority of the grapes for this wine are from Napa, small additions come from Lake, Sonoma and Solano counties. It holds a healthy dose of Merlot too. Simple in richness and ripeness, its f…

Soupy raisiny aromas are hefty but lack precision. The palate mostly follows the nose, meaning this tastes of prune and raisin, with a hint of mocha. A thick chunky raisiny finish offers no surprises.

Bright aromas of melon, pear and herb lead to tart dry fruit flavors. The concentration comes off as quite light.

This simple light-bodied red offers delicate whiffs of tart sour cherry and a whisper of clove. The delicate aromas are also found on the diluted palate alongside firm acidity and fleeting tannins.

Light aromas of pineapple and other tropical fruit are accented by herb, floral and citrus flavors. The concentration is very light.

This opens with aromas of underbrush, toasted nut and grilled herb. The extremely simple, abrupt palate offers suggestions of sour cherry and orange zest alongside brisk acidity.

Wiry cherry and berry aromas are a bit medicinal and soapy. This is named after the grape, region and town, all called Cariñena. It's a pinched wine with raw rubbery tannins and salty flavors of plum…

The producer is following the Provence fashion and packaging its range of Pure Loire in square bottles. This rosé is dry with red fruit and spice from the Cabernet Franc in the blend. Tangy and crisp…

The aromas of herb, citrus and melon rind are light. The palate drinks dry, with the concentration seeming a bit lacking.

Named after the parcel from which this wine originally came, it is delicate and soft. The apple and citrus fruit is light, cut easily with some acidity. The wine is ready to drink.

Pale pink in the glass, this sparkling rosé (which is made from Muscat) has aromas of lavender, red cherry and dried rose petals. There are flavors of sweet raspberry and cantaloupe that are topped o…

Grenache er en veldig vanskelig druesort å lage vin av på egenhånd. Den egner seg bedre som en blandingsdrue, noe denne vinen beviser. Den er tørr og silkemyk, med ensidige smaker av kirsebær, blåbær…

Kandiserte, tutti-frutti aromaer gir denne en søt, noe falsk bukett med lite konsentrasjon. Men ganen er seig og fengende nok, med solide men beskjedne smaker av bringebær og rød plomme. Myk på etter…

Åpner mykt, støvete og melont, med eplecider-lignende smaker, melon og tørrhet i stedet for skarpt syrlighet. Tilfredsstillende, men litt tamt, med cider i avslutningen. Godt til hverdagsbruk, men li…
