Nectarine and citrus aromas are solid, while the palate is more racy, sharp and linear than some, with narrow, semisour flavors of lemon and orange. Decent feel, maybe a little high in acid, and show…

Racy cherry and red berry aromas are salinic and light, while the palate is lean and revolves around tangy, citrusy red-fruit flavors. Fresh and a little rubbery on the finish, with a tight, singular…

A fresh, grassy, green herb wine, light, crisp and clean. It is a wine for easy quaffing, with no pretension, no thought needed, just summer pleasure. Drink this year. Screwcap.

Creamy dark-berry aromas carry a floral, blueberry hint, while the thick palate teeters on syrupy as it delivers gummy, mildly baked black fruit flavors. Lactic and full on the finish, with a touch o…

Floral and mineral tones emerge from the nose of this white wine from Sicily. Executed in an easy and fresh style, this crisp—and slightly sweet—wine would pair with tuna salad and fried calamari.

This is a very dry Sauvignon Blanc and also an acidic one, with sour flavors of Lifesaver pineapple candy. Shows good structure, but could use greater richness and complexity at this price.

Here's a fresh and luminous wine from Sicily to pair with fried finger foods and appetizers. The wine is crisp and bright and utterly easy-going on both the nose and palate.

Big boysenberry aromas are lively, a bit minty and fresh, while the extracted palate has a fruit-driven personality, ample tannins and dark wild-berry flavors. Young, bouncy and tangy on the finish.…

From estate fruit, this Chardonnay falls a bit flat in the mouth. The fruit is light and simple, and there is a hint of bitterness that leave a chemical aftertaste.

A little sweaty in the nose, this moves ahead with pineapple and grapefruit flavors, finishing with slightly bitter citrus rind flavors. It's more of a food wine than a sipping wine.

Decent and quaffable but does not compare to the winery's Verdejo. This is prickly and full of pine needle, juniper and other sharp aromas. The palate has a good feel but pickled, briney flavors. Ske…

This bright Syrah-based rosé from Sicily (this is the second vintage that the wine is produced) offers vibrant flavors of blueberry, raspberry and rose petal. The wine is easy and crisp in the mouth…

Raspberry and rubber aromas are solid if not refined, while the firm palate is sweet and full of black cherry flavor. Rough, tumble and unsophisticated in the mouthfeel department but ripe and tasty…

There's a touch of burnt matchstick at the very start of this wine, but it later opens to reveal citrus, stone fruit and white flowers. The mouthfeel is lean and tonic and this easygoing white blend…

Not one of the best Cabs from this venerable winery. Despite a cool vintage, there's a burnt edge to the blackberry pie filling flavors. Tasted in late 2007, the tannins are very astringent, and shut…

A warm vintage (2006) may be causing this wine to expire prematurely, but tasted in 2008 it seems to be losing its drive. The nose has wild flower and melon aromas, while the palate shows simple apri…

Tastes a little sweet for a true brut, with sugary flavors of strawberries, raspberries and vanilla, and the finish is soft. The blend is French Colombard, Chardonnay and Sangiovese.

Earth, leather and roasted berry fruit are exactly what a wine of this base grape and price should smell like. The palate is medium in intensity, with herbal flavors, dark berry fruit notes and leath…

Dark in color, smoky and full of coconut and mocha aromas. However, the palate is more acidic, tight and starching than ideal. Add in peppery, herbal flavors to the black cherry, oak and high acidity…

The name Grignolino comes from the dialect word for “seeds.” The grape, on the other hand, requires special winemaking techniques in order to soften the wine's tannins due to the natural abundance of…

Vanilla, wood shavings, charcoal and floral berry aromas come with a hint of minty green. The palate has a healthy but common grabbiness to it, with flavors of black cherry, cassis and herbs. Almost…

From the Montenetto di Brescia wine region of Lombardy, this easy expression of Marzemino presents a nicely saturated brick color and opens with ripe aromas of black fruit, cherry, plum, tobacco and…

Neutral, fresh and regular on the nose, with mild white fruit aromas. The palate is sound but fleshy, with somewhat bland apple and pear flavors. Clear and solid on the finish, and overall you won't…

Fresh and clean are two words that describe this Roero Arneis but the wine also imparts a very distinctive drying sensation in the mouth thanks to its aromas of white stone and talc powder. The miner…
