This is a typical sweet rosé from Anjou. A light and fruity blend of Groslot and Gamay, it is sugary but has attractive acidity to balance the sweet wild-strawberry flavors. Drink now.

Rusty to the eye, with a strange but not unpleasant mix of savory tomato, citrus and nutmeg aromas, this feels raw, tannic and drying. Earthy, baked and rooty plum flavors dry out on the finish.

You can find aromas of purple flower, red berry and a hint of chopped herb on the nose. But the palate is thin and diluted, offering suggestions of sour cherry and a green note of powdered sage along…

Grapy aromas suggest minerals and iodine along with wet animal fur and plum. It's firm and tannic on the palate, with herbal, rooty plum and berry flavors and a tight finish.

Oxidative in character, this ripe wine has melon, spice and almond flavors. It is ready to drink.

Grown in the Happy Canyon section of eastern Santa Ynez, an area that one of these days will be an official appellation. It's warm back in that canyon, and this Sangiovese is sugary in sweet berries…

You get decent value and plenty of intensity in this 90-10 Sangiovese-Cab blend. The wine offers bright tones of fruit and toasted nut, while the mouthfeel is simple and a bit thorny.

A soft, feminine nose of toasted oak and round fruit on the nose, and a flavor profile of balanced fruit and acid on the palate, make this a good white for both cold weather, serious meals and just s…

A rush of zippy, fresh fruit and spice aromas recommends this white from New York, offering the kind of clean fruit flavors and minerality that makes this region unique. The wine lacks real complexit…

You might mistake this for a young coastal Pinot. It's crisp, light-bodied and silky, with cherry, cola, herb tea and spicy, smoky flavors. If only the wine were dry.

Crisp acidity comes to the rescue of this slightly sweet wine, giving it a bracing mouthfeel that balances the sugary pineapple, peach, apricot and honeysuckle flavors.

A classic Portuguese blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca, this is a medium-bodied wine with good structure and presence of tannin. Bright fruit flavors of red currant, cherry an…

A bit too much new American oak was thrown at this crianza, leaving minty, drying aromas that veer into the butter and dill range. The palate is largely fresh and balanced, with peppery red-fruit fla…

A little awkward. The wine shows a nice silkiness and crisp acidity. But the flavors have a cooked taste, with stewed blackberries and cola, in addition to caramelly oak.

Here's a crisp and perky white wine from the largely unexplored wine region of Liguria in northern Italy. It offers easy aromas of citrus, apple and brimstone.

Cleanliness is a fleeting quality on this rosé, which smells compromised and artificial. A modest palate feel and dry, hollow, mostly fruitless flavors lead to a bland finish.

This is a wine that has tannins as well as crisp red-currant fruit. It is lightly textured with a bright shot of acidity. The aftertaste is fresh and lively.

Delicate scents of white flowers and fresh herbs frame the core notes of green apple and lime zest. Refreshing and easy drinking, ample acidity lifts the melon pith and citrus peel flavors that flesh…

This impressive value from Bordeaux house Yvon Mau shows that Languedoc-Roussillon is capable of turning out serious Syrah/Shiraz at a reasonable price. Seared meat, black pepper and raspberry scents…

This example shows a bit more character than many Pays d'Oc Chardonnays. Pretty scents of lemon and honeysuckle lead to a palate with above-average concentration and lovely lemon meringue pie flavors…

Boasts pristine if somewhat one-dimensional fruit aromas of green apples and limes and the flavors follow a similar pattern. It's sweet yet tart, showing decent balance in a lemonade-like way. A lawn…

This is a ripe and jammy expression of Nero d'Avola with plush cherry fruit and thick aromas of blackberry, prune and cassis syrup. It's a simple, no-fuss wine with bold fruit flavors.

Medium-bodied and nearly completely dry, this is a stony, minerally expression of Riesling that even folds in some slightly earthy-peaty notes. Hints of citrus fall a bit short on the finish.

Baked, earthy berry and herbal aromas turn murky and suggest animal as this breathes. A wiry, pulling palate with clipped acidity and hard tannins tastes of tart plum, tomato, herbs and grass. While…
