Hints of crushed stone add a sense of minerality throughout this brisk, vigorously effervescent blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It's penetrating on the palate through zippy lemony acidity, and fi…

Aromas recall roasted hazelnut, citrus peel and a whiff of apple skin. The palate offers tangy lemon and mature Golden Delicous apple alongside soft acidity.

Subdued aromas recall white flower and stone fruit. The muted palate reveals mature yellow apple skin, lemon zest and notes of nut butter alongside sharp bubbles. It has a tangy but fleeting finish.

Flashy notes of wood-grilled apple, brioche and apricot fill the nose. The mouth is round and the palate spicy, as flavors of ginger and cedar dominate the stone fruit.

Overworked and oaky, with vanilla, buttered toast and sweet caramel flavors dominating everything else. Buried beneath are pineapple and pear flavors.

Very ripe and flashy, but a little too sweet. Shows sugary raspberry and cherry jam flavors, with lots of zippy acidity.

This Tuscan rosé made using Sangiovese grapes opens with a pink-purplish color and bright aromas of rose, cranberry and wild forest berry. There's a pretty touch of bitter almond on the close.

Opens with aromas of black cherry and waves of resiny oak. Has good body and grabby barrel tannins along with a palate that deals dark berry flavor and even more oakiness. Tastes resiny and saucy on…

A fresh wine with red cherry fruits giving a bright character, the tannins soft and with attractive acidity. It is lightly textured and should be ready to drink in 1–2 years.

Smells sort of furry and earthy initially, with notes of graphite and woodspice. Feels narrow and grabby, with pointed acididty framing red plum, cherry and lightly oaky, minty flavors. Fits the defi…

This edition of Soave Classico Runcaris offers simple aromas of pear, Golden Delicious apple, stone fruit and melon. There's a drying point of minerality at the back and crisp acidity to boot.

Tastes sweeter and fruitier than the 2009, which was dry, so if you like orange marmalade, pineapple tart and vanilla cookie sugariness in your Sauvignon Blancs, it's for you.

With short wood aging, the wine has preserved its primary attractive blackberry juice flavor. It is solid and chunky, while keeping freshness. For drinking now.

A little sugary sweet and simple, but appeals for its wealth of cherry, raspberry, cocoa, anise, vanilla and toast flavors. Earns an extra point for polished tannins. Drink now.

A good everyday Pinot Noir, tart in acids and with some edgy tannins. But it has the variety's nice, silky texture, with rich cherry, rosehip tea and sandalwood flavors.

Castelcerino is a broad, thick Soave Classico with mature aromas of melon, apricot and exotic fruit. This is a simple but genuine wine that can be employed in less formal occasions.

Jammy on the nose, with a citrusy element, green notes and something muddy. For a big Malbec with a full price tag, it leaves me wondering: It's chunky and tastes of red berry, citrus, pineapple and…

Make this wine a little drier and the score would rise. As things are, it's just too sweet and one-dimensional in jammy raspberries and cherries, while oak brings buttered toast and roasted coconut f…

Another Best Buy Merlot from Bogle. The wine is just as you want a nice Merlot to be, rich and soft and flavorful in cherries, with a kiss of smoky oak.

A fresh and fruity wine with soft tannins and black currant fruits. The wine has the warmth of the vintage, giving some roundness the texture and stalkiness which would be more apparent in a lesser v…

Tastes unusually lush and soft for a Napa Cab. While it's officially dry, sweet, caramelized oak and raspberry-jam flavors, along with a slick, glycerine mouthfeel, makes it as rich as a candy bar.

Not very expressive, but this wine's fragrance does reveal delicate aromas of rose and berry, which carry over to the palate. It doesn't have quite enough fruit richness to support the vigorous, almo…

Made from 100% Cab Franc, this is a soft, rather one-dimensional wine. It has complex flavors of cherries, red currants, cola, white pepper and herbs, but is short on structure and interest. Drink no…

Cusumano is a terrific Sicilian estate that offers both high-end expressions and a consistent line of value wines. This well-priced Nero d'Avola is fresh, clear, fruit-forward and easy to drink.
