A fine young Pinot Noir, bristling with clean acidity and bone dry. It's strongly flavored, giving a burst of cherries, raspberries, cola and spices.

An intriguing wine that lacks fruit in the traditional sense, yet possesses ample weight and a brooding, mineral presence that comes across as wet stone and machine oil. Those elements linger on the…

There's lots of rich blackberry, chocolate and currant flavor in this smooth, 100% varietal Cabernet. The tannin-acid balance is fine, giving the wine rich interest. Ready to drink now.

It's all about ripe, jammy blackberries, cherries and dark chocolate in this soft, tannic Cabernet. The alcohol is noticeable for the heat it gives, and the finish is rich with glycerols. Drink soon.

A bit on the brawny side of Pinot Noir, with jagged tannins and plenty of full-bodied cherry fruit. Not a bad wine, but lacking the delicacy of the 2008 and 2009 vintages.

Funky, with mushroom and sweaty leather aromas that can best be described as Burgundian. But it's richly sweet in raspberries and cherries, and the smoky oak is nicely integrated with the fruit. A pl…

Santa Rosalia is the quintessential pizza wine with bright fruit integrity and a touch of piquant spice on the close. The wine is fresh, firm and keeps the palate clean.

If you're not familiar with the tastes and character of the Dolcetto grape, this widely available expression by Prunotto is typical in its bright array of wild berry and black fruit aromas. The wine…

Light pink/gold in color, this is an exotic ripe wine with melon and tropical fruit flavors underlined by toast. It is big, rich and mouthfilling.

This bright Dolcetto d'Alba offers fresh fruit and berry flavors on top of rich concentration and a plush, velvety feel. This is a very easy, uncomplicated wine that will pair with most home-cooked p…

A firm, somewhat muscular wine, blending in 16% Merlot and aged in neutral oak barrels. Leaf and truffle notes abound, with the distinctively acidic underpinning of Sangiovese. Light strawberry-cherr…

Ripe, soft wine, deliciously rounded with fresh white and green fruits combining into a creamy herbaceousness. There is a final tang to this concentrated, full wine. Screwcap.

A brisk, bright Chardonnay, made in the Testarossa style of ripe fruit and oakiness. What it lacks in subtlety it makes up for in the sheer power of tangerine, pineapple and tropical fruit flavors, e…

Bold Malbec with aromas of berry liqueur, cassis and black cherry. The palate is fresh in feel, with some edginess and snappy acids. Tastes full of berry fruit, creamy oak and vanilla, while the fini…

This is an appealing Chardonnay. It's a little sweet in apricot jam, peach, green apple, honey and buttered toast flavors, but the sweetness is balanced with crisp, citrusy acidity and a nice cut of…

A little tough and gritty in acids and some uneven, green minty tannins, but there's a lot of cherry and raspberry flavor, and the finish is silky and long. Earns an extra point for the depth of frui…

Alive and dainty with soft orange blossom notes paired with fresh red apple slices and a touch of nuttiness. The mouth is more of the same, with a distinct peach pit flavor unfolding on the medium-le…

Dark chocolate and rich plum sauce add complexity to this black fruit-driven Merlot. Blackberry preserves and soft plum guts fill the mouth, with a touch of green pepper appearing on the finish. Medi…

You'll find an herbal note in this wine, suggesting sweet green peas and dried herbs alongside riper touches of blackberry and cherry. Although it's pretty tannic, it's soft, making it drinkable now.…

The Select bottling, which appears to be TeBri's reserve, shows medium concentration, with strawberry and cherry flavors. Cola, earth, caramel and chocolate notes come together on the pretty finish.

This opens with sweet aromas of nutmeg and cinnamon, with bright tones of cassis and white cherry in the background. The firm, fresh mouthfeel would pair well with grilled meat or sausage.

It's easy to imagine drinking this wine—and really enjoying it—in Paso Robles with a grilled steak. It's rich, heady and ripe in black currants, with a Port-like, raisiny taste.

This is a little rough and scouring on the mouth, but otherwise a fine sparkling wine. It's rich and slightly sweet, with orange, lime, vanilla and yeasty dough flavors.

This has green-leaning aromas of tobacco, tomato and grass that are matched by more standard plum and berry notes. It feels tight, tannic and rubbery, with medicinal flavors of herbal black fruits an…
