From a vineyard farmed by Ted Klopp of Klopp Ranch, this is a light, spicy vineyard-designate, silky smooth in crisp red cherry and berry. A streak of fresh-picked herb overlays the soft wine, which…

Some attractive bottle age to this bone-dry wine gives a touch of toast over the fresh apple fruit. It is crisp and ripe, with a hint of austere, structured minerality. The bottle is ready to drink.

The Gobillard style is for crisp wines with a good texture. That style is easy to achieve with a Blanc de Blancs, with the Chardonnay giving a tight, mineral character while leaving room for attracti…

There is a great depth of flavor to this wine. It is rich, but has a strong mineral edge that cuts through the ripe white and citrus fruits. Balanced between dryness and fruit, this structured wine i…

From vines to the south of the Côte des Blancs, this estate-grown Champagne has much of the same tight texture and minerality. It is taut and crisp while keeping plenty of room for apple and citrus f…

This is dry, crisp and nicely detailed, with a persistent, clean and fresh mouthfeel. Notes of cucumber, salad greens and citrus, notably lime and grapefruit, are underscored with appealing mineralit…

The aromatic intensity takes you quickly to the signature heart of the grape. It's floral and spicy, leading to concentrated flavors of citrus and stone fruits. It's ripe, dry and penetrating.

A blend of grapes from different regions of the Douro, this is a ripe, concentrated wine. Perfumed black fruits and plenty of acidity give it a crisp while smooth texture. The wine is well in balance…

As with all this producer's wines, the first fermentation iof this bottling was in wood, adding richness and smoothing out the fruit to give a warm, round character. The acidity is still tight and cr…

A blend of grand and premier cru Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, this lightly mineral-textured wine is focused on ripe apples and delicate citrus flavors. Still all about fruit, this bottling (d…

This is one of those kitchen sink blends that is better than it has a right to be. Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris are all in the mix, and the wine is both aromatic and p…

Refermented in the bottle, this opens with inviting scents of ripe orchard fruit, citrus, bread crust, Alpine herb and a whiff of crushed stone. The refreshing frothy palate delivers lime, tangerine…

The coolness of the region and vintage shows in this Chard's acidic crispness and minerality. It comes down on the Chablis-style end of the spectrum, with hints of tropical fruits, apples and pears,…

Heady but juicy Grenache dominates the blend of this wine, which also includes 30% Cinsault, 15% Syrah and 15% Mourvèdre. Concentrated deep fruit aromas of plum, blackberry and muddled boysenberry fl…

A little too soft for ageability, but a very delicious wine. Not quite in the league of the wonderful 2007, but offers rich, ripe flavors of blackberries, cherries, cola and cedar, with all kinds of…

Earns extra credit for the sheer audacity of ripe cherry, raspberry and vanilla cream flavors. Almost as sweet as a candy bar, but actually dry, and balanced with acidity and minerals. A fine Pinot N…

Oceanic aromas of grass, scallion, baby garlic and lime reflect cool-coast origins. A slick, juicy mouthfeel is minerally, while this offers flavors of nettle, lime, passion fruit and green onion. A…

Jasmine, honeysuckle, apricot and citrus aromas open. The bright, savory palate presents juicy pineapple, ripe pear, white peach and lemon zest framed in tangy acidity. Hints of Mediterranean herb ad…

Luscious white peach and apricot flavors are anchored by a steely core of mineral in this easy-drinking but elegant wine. Light bodied but persistent, it's a lip-smacking, sweet wine that finishes wi…

From the granite soil of the northern area of Vinho Verde, this rich, structured and dense bottling is far from the conventional view of Vinho Verde. It is a powerful, ripe, apricot and peach flavore…

Smoke, flint, mature stone fruit, dried sage and honey aromas come together in the glass. The delineated palate shows nice depth, offering yellow apple, candied citrus zest, apricot and mineral balan…

This rich, wood-aged wine is full of yellow fruits with a tight texture. Mineral driven, it's crisp with its apple acidity and bright, steely structure. It's so fresh now, but could age well to creat…

A very mineral, textured wine that has a dark fruit character. Acidity, spice, black plum skins and a solid structure all point to a wine that needs to age a few more months. Drink from 2014.

A beautiful Chardonnay, dry, crisp in acidity and complex in tropical and citrus fruit, peach, honey and oak flavors. The richness is balanced by a flavorful minerality, and the finish is dry. At thi…
