Big, dry and tannic wine, this is a dense and structured wine. Black chocolate and coffee flavors suggest extraction shows strongly in the tough texture. The wine will be filled out as the black frui…

This is a deliciously fruity wine with tropical fruit tones, a light mineral texture and fine, crisp acidity. From vines planted at 1500 feet above the river, it is fresh, cool and ready to drink.

Full of blackberry fruits and ripe tannins, this wine is spicy and with a perfumed character. It does have a dry core of structure to it along with rich fruits and the smoothing effect of wood aging.…

The maturity of this wine gives it velvetine richness, spice and leather texture. The fruit on this smooth, ripe wine is mellow and offers acidity and red cherries. It's a delight to drink now.

Thick peach and apricot intensity opens the bouquet of this delightful Friulano from northeast Italy. Those rich stone fruit qualities are well supported by the wine's overall density and its creamy…

Always one of Catalonia's more elevated cavas, this version opens with spiced dried apple aromas and a bit of yeast and dough. The palate is both sweet and tangy, with tangerine as the lead fruit. An…

Perfumed, soft, easy wine, showing the juicy, fresh side of the two grapes. The fruits are more red than black, open and ripe, but still with youthful exuberance and great freshness.

This widely available, bargain-priced tawny remains an Australian classic, offering toffee and walnut aromas and flavors along with dust-covered leather and just a hint of fresh fruit. It's lighter i…

The acidity gives an almost citric tang to this closed, austere wine. There are attractive floral hints that give a softer edge. Dry, pushed by acidity and needing long-term aging.

Soft, ripe fruit, already accessible. This has a generous feel and flavors of berries and red plums. Not a wine for aging, but very attractive.

Well balanced wine, the entry level of the Conceito range. It has lively acidity and red cherry and strawberry fruits packed with underlying tannins. It is a fresh wine, showing the lighter side of t…

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…

Made with native grapes Aglianico and Piedirosso, this offers aromas of fig, mature plum, vanilla and scorched earth. The ripe, round palate shows dried black cherry, chopped herb, cocoa and a minty…

With a high proportion (60%) of Merlot, this is a ripe wine while also being structured. It has a dense character that comes from the still young, firm tannins. Behind these are the ripest black-curr…

Dense and meaty up-front, this opens with aromas of mulled berry and savory spices. An almost mean tannic bite on a narrow palate offers little cushion or support, while blackberry, chocolate and min…

This savory red features aromas and flavors of violet, juicy blueberry, blackberry, plum and a whiff of cake spice. Firm but fine-grained tannins give support. While it's full-bodied, it's also easy…

Root beer, tar, asphalt, prune and dark jammy fruit make a lasting impression on the nose. This Ripasso sports a soft, velvety texture that would pair well with lasagna or ravioli stuffed with meat.

With a touch of wood aging, this is a bright yet toasty wine. Its fruitiness shows as citrus, pineapple and pear, with a tangy edge. There is aging potential here, to round out the wine and bring out…

A generosity of baked pear is supported by sizable notions of toasted oak and tannin in this burly, rich and concentrated wine.

Rich and languid on the palate, this is an inviting approachable red blend made from roughly equal proportions of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Baco Noir. Ripe red-cherry and plum flavors are offset by…

Here's a ripe, chewy expression of Vino Nobile that opens with aromas of black cherry, dark fruit and even a touch of strawberry. The jammy fruit element is supported by wood tones that add structure…

Seems already mature, with truffle and mushroom notes creeping in among the apricot and orange marmalade fruit. Soft and lush, with just enough tannin and spice in support for near-term drinking.

Sommeliers will love this wine for its elegance, and the way it's happy to stand back and support food, rather than star at the table. It's dry, medium bodied and tannic, with cherry, red currant, co…
