Pours kind of pale and feels light in body in the mouth, with acidic flavors of cherry skins and anise. Nice for its clean silkiness, but there's not a whole lot going on in terms of complexity.

This wine offers a spicy, green nose with tones of herbs, grass, blackberry and mint. It has a raw, thick feel with fresh fruit nuances and sour cherry on the close.

Beef jerky and smoked bacon come to mind and are followed by mellow tones of black cherry, ripe fruit and old spice. There's a sophisticated edge to this wine that helps it taste older than it actual…

Good if you like a big-boned red wine with plenty of extract, tannin and depth. The dark color gives this one away: it's chunky and grabby but also ripe, flush and receptive to airing. Hints of the h…

Vibrant and racy, this Chard's bright acidity boosts and brightens the lime, pineapple, Meyer lemon and vanilla flavors. Try with grilled salmon with a tropical fruit salsa topping.

Sometimes all you need is a rustic bottle of good red wine and your favorite food to be happy. That's the kind of wine this Pinot Noir and Syrah blend is. It's dry and full-bodied and filled with ber…

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…

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.

Break out the barbecued burgers and ribs for this lusty, hearty red wine. It's dry and very tannic, with earthy flavors of blackberries, currants and spices.

A lively, juicy wine, with pepper, cinnamon and green herbs. The fruits are red berry and rhubarb, giving a wine that is both fruity and edged with rawness. The acidity is prominent, layering over th…

Bone dry and earthy, this Cab shows modest flavors of blackberries, currants and mocha. It's a clean, affordable wine that's good for an everyday red.

Dark and crusty on the nose, with cola, raisin and foresty dampness. The palate has wintergreen along with solid black cherry flavors, while accents of pepper and licorice give it a dark side. Finish…

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…

Here's a pretty good Zin that will win fans for its fruity, spicy flavors. It's kind of sweet, but the acidity is crisp and the tannins are rich, which helps to balance the pie-filling raspberries an…

This cleverly named blend of Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot is rustically likeable. It's a soft, slightly sweet and gigantically fruity wine, with some softening, creamy influence from oak.

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.

This is very pretty and enjoyable, with creamy peach, butterscotch and yellow rose notes. The wine has a lean, compact feel and a crisp, citrusy finish.

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…

Linear mineral tones create an elegant frame for floral aromas and peach flavors. This is a thin wine, but also a very clean one with fresh acidity and citrus zest that wash clear over the palate.

Already brick around the rim, this wine seems to be prematurely fading. Flavors are of dried fruits with a healthy streak of vanilla.

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…

With a bright red Vespa on its label, Rapido Red is a racy little wine (with a screwcap) that delivers tight, compact aromas of wild berry, currants and red licorice. The wine is clean and easy in th…

Tough and tannic now, although it's fully dry, and the tannins are finely sculpted. Shows deep flavors of blackberries, currants, cocoa and spices. There's a hint of funkiness that may detract from a…

Stor, kraftig og kornete, med høy alkohol og saftige, rosinaktige aromaer. Smaken og aromaene finner et behagelig hvilested, og vinens bakte bær- og brunt sukker-smaker er solide, men litt påtatt og…
