The largest appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise produces here a foursquare, solid wine. It has red fruits, although the structure is what is dominant at this stage. There is a dry, smoky, meaty flavo…
With luscious raspberry, cherry and vanilla flavors, this silky Pinot is ready to drink now. It has a good structure of tannins and acids, as well as lots of new oak, which it handles well.
The core aromas of blackberry and dark cherry are detailed with touches of catnip, black tea and mocha. Medium in body, this wine has bright acidity and fine, chalky tannins that add grip to the succ…
This is a satin-smooth Merlot, nicely blended with 11% Syrah and a splash of Cabernet Sauvignon. Forward flavors, seamless, supple and flat out tasty, it weaves in threads of vanilla, cola and licori…
Pure, sappy wine juice is the impression this wine leaves. Although it's a 2010, it is so fresh and tangy it might have come straight from the tank. Pomegranate and raspberry are the fruit highlights…
Brisk and nervous on the palate, with searing lemon-lime acidity, this slightly off-dry wine is well-balanced, with delicate apple and blossom flavors. It's long and mineral on the finish, with just…
Light aromas of the barnyard don't impede the impression of pretty strawberry-pastry fruit flavors. The aging in 20% new French oak adds streaks of vanilla, cocoa and mocha to the finish.
Dry, oaky and minerally, this Chardonnay shows intensely focused Meyer lemon, lime, Asian pear and golden apricot flavors, whose acidity makes it savory. One-third new oak gives it a vanilla and butt…
TA firm minerality, like the tang of cold steel, derives from Spring Mountain's soil. That metallic note adds an interesting dimension to the wine's fruitier flavors of apricots, mangoes and peaches.…
Opening with opulent red fruit and soft tannins, this estate-grown Tempranillo has a big presence of tobacco and pepper. With well-integrated oak it's full-bodied yet understated, opening its layers…
This Cab has the fruity concentration of its famous mountain origin, and is explosive in blackberries, blueberries and currants, along with plenty of caramelized oak. It's also quite tannic, which gi…
The Van Zeller family has been in the Douro since the 18th century. This wine, which has some firm tannins as well as generous red berry fruits, is ripe, full-bodied while also having a firm structur…
Ripe, jammy pineapple, Meyer lemon and nectarine flavors characterize this Chardonnay. It also shows plenty of new oak and lees notes. Rich and flashy, it's fully ready to drink now.
This Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend opens with oaky, medicinal aromas of mint and cherry candy. The palate is fairly full but raw in feel, while scratchy, long-running flavors of leather and earth acce…
Unoaked Chardonnays can be fairly neutral, but this one is anything but. Creamy and textural, it's laced with mixed flavors of grapefruit, gooseberry, lime and lemon zest. Delicious on its own, or pa…
An unusual blend of 59% Sauvignon Blanc and 41% Chardonnay, this wine opens with a creamy mousse and flavors of ripe apple. Crisp, soft and medium bodied, it's textured and good at hiding the larger…
This is a very good Cabernet, dry, full-bodied and rich in black currants. But it's not the Landslide of the early and mid-2000s. The vineyard, in the southern Alexander Valley, remains the same, but…
A rich, fruity wine from the north of Portugal. It has creamy apple and citrus flavors, a light and mineral texture and bright acidity. Drink now.
This initially opens with funky aromas of barnyard and truffle that soon blow off to reveal ripe plum and kitchen spice aromas. The forward palate offers up fleshy black cherry, anise and grilled sag…
The nose isn't very expressive but eventually reveals sawdust, toasted oak and roasted coffee bean. The palate delivers raw red cherry, anise and espresso alongside bracing tannins. Give this time to…
Spiced apple, raw oak and related cinnamon and woodspice aromas introduce a flush, chunky palate that's showing modest acidity. Flavors of savory oak, tropical fruits and baked apple finish creamy in…
Violet and berry aromas are pleasant, fresh and not too demanding or loud. This is solid in feel, maybe a bit simple overall, with plum, berry and a touch of char making up the flavor profile. Generi…
This pale salmon rosé is fresh and clean. It opens with bright aromas of strawberry hull, watermelon rind and citrus peel that carry through to the linear yet vibrant palate. The palate boasts excell…
