Aromas of apple cider are oxidized and grassy. This offers mealy peach flavors that, like the nose, seem oxidized. A bland but not bad finish sends this Viura-Verdejo blend on its way.
This waxy, petrol-infused wine underwent both barrel and stainless-steel fermentation. It's dark in color, exhibiting a majority of barrel-induced flavors like caramel and toast with any hint of frui…
The nose on this appellation blend is kind of sour, with gravel, blackberry and blueberry. The palate is also a bit sour and bitter, with beet juice, juniper and eucalyptus notes.
Leafy, earthy red-berry aromas are backed by a grabby, drying, tannic palate. Lightly herbal black-fruit flavors are followed by dry, rubbery cherry and plum blandness.
Dry, saline-like overtones on jumpy plum and berry aromas and a hard, tannic palate make for a tough beginning. Equally tough berry fruit flavors have skins and bitterness issues, while the finish is…
Stewy, muddled, herbal aromas come prior to a chunky, chewy palate. Flavors of compost, nutty berry fruits and turned earth lack freshness, while a stewed finish tastes mulchy and feels tannic.
Bright pink in color, this 100% Touriga Nacional rosé is ripe with caramel and red berry flavors. It misses out on acidity, leaving the wine flat at the end.
Burnt, edgy and stemmy/stalky from start to finish. The nose gives off a charred nut and asphalt character, while the palate is edgy, hard and bitter, with briary flavors of roasted fruit and stems.…
Here's a curious Recioto with aromas of green olive and caper backed by blackberry and some distant spice. Sweetness and succulence push the wine forward over the palate but those green, herbal notes…
Aromas of freshly picked roses, vanilla and peach entice you into this Moldovan sparkling wine made from Muscat. There are flavors of dried apricot and honeydew melon with a slightly sweet finish.
This is a sharp, high-toned Cabernet, which begins with nail polishy aromas and some cherry candy flavors, then quickly tails off. It lacks both depth and detail, making it difficult to understand wh…
Except for a taste of cooked grapes, this is a pretty good Sangiovese. It's dry and crisp in acidity, with a nice earthiness behind the cherries. But you can taste the burnt berries that just got roa…
This Super-Tuscan-style wine won't be confused as anything from Tuscany. It's soft, tannic and very fruity, with a sugary finish. Bring on the hamburgers.
Normally I'm a fan of Juvé y Camps. This bottling is bland on the nose, with a cleaning-solution aroma. The palate is foamy in feel and short in flavor, with a strange blend of bitter lettuce, brine…
Given the $27 price, this “limited edition” Sauvignon is lacking in many places. The nose is challenging, with a strong scent of bathroom cleanser, while the palate delivers acid and citrusy flavors…
Initially this smells perfumed and powdery, like a grande dame preparing to go out for the night. On deeper inspection, it smells grassy and citrusy, then tastes and feels dilute. At best this is a q…
Bland white-fruit aromas are a bit oily and gritty. This has a watery feel and mildly bitter flavors of white grapefruit, the skin included
This brut nature is citric and bubbly on the palate after opening with aromas of weeds and spring onion. Flavors of lemon, herbs, onion and mustard coalesce in front of a bitter finish.
Bland and almondy on the bouquet, with an oily accent. Feels lightly spritzy but beyond that it's simply wet and acidic. Tastes lemony, sharp and bland, with a lasting citric finish.
Briny cherry and raspberry aromas offer up a note of tire rubber. Muddled cherry and berry flavors finish short, and overall this wine lacks character.
Flowery, tropical aromas might have you thinking this is Torrontés. The palate is flimsy and dilute, with lychee and pyrazine-driven flavors that tail off in bitter fashion.
Strong wood flavors have smothered the fruit, leaving vanilla, spice and milk chocolate as the main flavors. Gérard Laurent blends 65% Cabernet Franc and 35% Malbec from biodynamic and organic vineya…
Herbal aromas give a crisp character. The fruit is not entirely ripe, so the wine relies on its tannins and acidity to get balance.
Layers of mint and earth are slightly out of proportion in this leathery wine, the finish leaving a somewhat sour taste.
