The warm 2005 vintage produced loads of wines with chewy or jammy fruit. But this Riserva shows a tight nose that is characterized by crisp berry aromas and light spice. There is intensity, but in no…

Here's an interesting red that's like a ripe, velvety-textured Merlot. Concentrated fruit aromas of fleshy black plum and cherry are accented by notes of fresh savory herbs. The mouth is full and str…

A bit hard and dark at first, yet despite rubbery, leathery aromas this evolves into a fine everyday Malbec. The palate hits with punch and pop; it's jumpy and packed with boysenberry, blueberry and…

Fine, fresh white Bordeaux from this Entre-deux-Mers property. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, just touched by wood, with spice and melon flavors brightened by citrus.

An unexpected touch of caramel butterscotch or candied fruit could indicate very mild oxidation although the jury is still out. Otherwise, the wine does a good job of presenting austere aromas of old…

Bone dry and complex, with terroir-infused mineral, citrus, pear and sweet green mint flavors. A streamlined, layered wine, although it's just a bit hot in alcohol.

Earthier aspects mix with the fleshy yellow-plum notes on nose and palate. The medium-sweetness puts the ripeness of the fruit center stage, countered by hints of pith and freshness. Drink soon.

Upfront, ripe pear fruit plays on nose and palate. These fruit notes are boosted by slight residual sweetness that makes this wine off dry, counterbalanced by a pleasantly bitter pith note. Enjoy thi…

Copper-orange-pink in color, this wonderfully summery wine offers tart citrus and gravelly minerality, a taste of wet stone coated in just the right amount of sweetness.

This wine is pale peach in color. It starts with aromas of strawberry, herb and spice that lead to juicy, just-off-dry, well-balanced fruit flavors that provide a whole lot of appeal.

This blends 51% Merlot with 29% Zinfandel, 15% Petit Verdot and 5% Petite Sirah, combining nicely for a full-bodied expression of chocolate and dried dark cherry. On the palate, it becomes dusty and…

Mineral, dried peach, lees and honeysuckle aromas lead to just off-dry flavors. Racy acidity frames it nicely.

Notes of freshly peeled red apples are inviting and continue on the soft, rounded and generous palate. It has a lovely midpalate mouthfeel and drinks just off dry, with an accent of vanilla and the m…

Produced in clay amphoras from organically grown grapes, this is an almost honeyed wine even though it's dry. It is richly textured and ripe, with floral and bitter spice tones. Enjoy from 2017.

Forward and fruity yet balanced and composed, this bold red blend is made from a kitchen's sink blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Syrah. Luscious black-che…

This is an impressively rich wine for a simple Beaujolais. It has plenty of fruit, while it also has a good depth with ripe red-berry fruits and some well-integrated tannins.

This is a ripe, smooth blend of Alvarinho and Chardonnay. The two complement each other well with yellow fruits touched by a more citrus edge and a rich character. It is fruity, full-bodied and ready…

Named after the Portuguese word for the sommelier's tastevin, the wine is rich with juicy red fruits. It has a firm structure that emphasizes the wine's youth showing that it should develop. Densely…

A structured and concentrated wine that is packed with tannins. It does have some black fruit under this dry structure although the wine misses out on richness. It will be ready to drink from 2017.

There are some fine, dry tannins in this wine along the dark cherry fruit and acidity. It comes from a single vineyard part of the 61-acre estate of Jean-Paul Dubost. There is a ripe feeling here; dr…

At the time of tasting, the nose of this dry white was still quite closed, but its buoyant, almost tropical, expressions of mango, cantaloupe and stone fruit on the palate were already quite irresist…

Amidst layers of bramble, toast, cedar and herb, bright raspberry and blackberry flavors penetrate throughout this full-bodied Cab Franc. Equal parts fruity and savory, it suggests nuances of beet an…

Ripe and juicy, this full-bodied wine has black plum and berry fruits that are well integrated into the juicy acidity and ripe tannins. The wine will develop quickly, so drink from late 2016.

There's a touch on barnyard on the nose of this bottling by one of the region's earlier settlers, with aromas of hay and oyster mushrooms adding intrigue to the cranberry fruit. The forest floor and…
