This bright and polished Barbera d'Alba would make a perfect companion to tortellini with grated Parmigiano cheese and melted butter. The wine boast bright berry and cherry flavors backed by fresh ac…

A bit rugged in texture, with some jagged tannins, but the blackberry and cherry fruit is just fine, and the finish is dry and complex. Decant this young wine for a few hours to take the edge off.

A deliciously fruity wine, with flavors of pear, quince and sultanas in a full, ripe sauce. Rich, with good concentration, worth aging for 3–4 years.

Aromas of grilled herb, French oak, scorched earth and menthol lead the nose. The juicy, accessible palate offers Morello cherry, vanilla, orange peel and a hint of mocha alongside fine-grained but r…

Made in the modern style of ripe fruit and elaborate oak, this rich, creamy Chardonnay features pineapple jam, peach pie and toasty vanilla flavors. It's a bit obvious, but lipsmackingly delicious.

A pace off the 2007, but a pretty good Zin. Despite being a little too soft and candy-sweet, it sure is tasty, offering an array of ripe wild red berry, currant, licorice, cocoa, spice and sandalwood…

Classic old-fashioned California Barbera. It's super-dry, hard in tannins and high in acidity. All that gives it a rather tough mouthfeel, but it should develop for 20 years. Good with tomato-based p…

Latex, tire rubber, sauciness, mocha and cotton candy all share the nose, while the palate is forward, a touch scratchy and filled with bold black cherry and plum flavors. Shows some toast and burn o…

This is a bright, ripe and fruity wine. With its red fruits, gentle tannins and juicy acidity, everything is in place for an early drinking and food friendly wine. Ready from late 2017.

The top of the range wine from this estate is ripe and full of vivid black currant fruits. It does have tannins although these are subordinate to the juicy jammy fruit. The wine is almost ready to dr…

The rich gold hue and the scents of bruised, slightly cooked fruit, suggest that premature oxidation is setting in. Two bottles were tasted, with comparable results. It's lemony, somewhat oily, penet…

A solid blast of tropical and green fruits rises from the glass. The palate is sharp and citric at first, and then it opens and evolves to show grapefruit, lemon and tangerine flavors. If you like a…

A 70-30 blend of Catarratto and Chardonnay, this wine offers enormous freshness in the form of citrus blossom, white almond, honey, lemon mousse and basil leaf notes. It feels silky, crisp and light.

Dumangin's nonvintage blend, is smooth, creamy and soft. It is on the dry side, with some good bottle age, showing in toast and a very textured fruit character.

There's a touch of wet earth or forest floor that gives this wine a brambly but rustic feel. Aromas include leather, old spice, prune, tobacco and teriyaki sauce. Pair this wine with meat dishes mari…

Slightly rich on the nose, with aromas of baked black plum, campfire and alcohol. The palate is flush yet a touch acidic; but there's enough body and quality fruit to support the acids, resulting in…

Very bright and pure, with high acid that makes the wine clean and vibrant all the way through the finish, this Viognier bursts with tropical fruits, limes, wildflowers, honey and vanilla bean. Reall…

Malbec makes up 73% of this blend, with 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Dried herb and cedar give it an herbaceous character. Soft, moderate acidity provides a backbone again…

Here's a jammy, overtly ripe expression of Aglianico that ultimately proves to be an easier and more immediate expression of this naturally tannic grape variety. Aromas include candied fruit, blackbe…
