Broad and slightly too sweet for its modest acid levels (17 g/l residual sugar; 5.3 g/l TA), this wine does deliver oodles of succulent fruit, ranging from red berries to ripe peaches and citrus.

There's a strong mineral component that recalls ash or dusty stone; it is backed by mature notes of peach and melon. It's sweetish and fruity in the mouth but finishes dry.

Here's a fresh and clean rendition of Vernaccia with distinct notes of passion fruit, citrus and honey. The wine offers vibrant spice and lively notes of citrus that would pair well with Thai peanut…

Not as dark and sticky as many wines of this variety; the nose is defined by cherry and raspberry along with barnyard and animal hide. At first the palate seems sharp and acidic, but with time it set…

Tons of upfront fruity flavor mark this crisp, tannic wine. It's almost sweet in jammy cherries and blackberries, with a smoked meat edge of bacon and caramelized notes from oak. Could be drier and h…

Here's a good Cabernet to drink now. It's soft and gritty in tannins, with ripely forward blackberry, cherry and currant flavors, coated with sweet, smoky oak.

Light in appearance with ruby highlights, this Roero delivers easy aromas of tar, cassis, rose and licorice. The wine is light, fresh and sharp with a lean, watery finish.

Lots of color but quiet and shy, with only minimal expressiveness throughout. The palate offers just one level of baked-fruit flavors, but no variance or complexity. And in the end it's clean and sol…

If you like a little sugary sweetness in your white wines, this is a good one. It's crisp in acidity and very clean, with pie-filling flavors of pineapples, apricots, green apples, vanilla and honeys…

This is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Gewürztraminer and Semillon. It's nicely crisp in acids, with sweet, jammy pineapple, apricot, peach, vanilla and cinnamon spice flavors. Good with A…

Firm, chewy tannins and jammy black cherry flavors mark this dry red wine. It has nuances of currants and anise. Needs oily meats and cheeses to coax out the sweetness.

Luscious aromas of lemon, sweet orange and honey are followed by a burst of honey, orange and spice in this indulgent dessert wine. A choice for fans of unctuous, sweet styles, the wine can be paired…

Aromas of apricot, honey and vanilla give this dessert wine a luscious start. On the palate, balanced, creamy flavors of citrus, fruit and honey linger. Full but not cloying, the wine will pair well…

Dusty and dry smelling, with apple and lettuce on the nose. Flavors of green apple are glazed with spice and cinnamon, while the finish leans on papaya and pretty good mouthfeel and texture. Very bas…

Has some overripe flavors of raisin skins, with bitter tannins, but the wine is fully dry, with enough black currant, coffee, black licorice and plum flavors to satisfy. Barbecue will be a perfect pa…

Floral, crisp, this wine hints at spice, showing green and yellow fruit acidity, cut grass aromas, and dried apricot sweetness. It is relatively full, but this doesn't detract from the apéritif-like…

A nose of creamy toast and spice leads this round, smooth Chardonnay. Full and weighty on the palate with a pert, spicy spin, the wine is dependable and serious.

Soft, full-bodied wine. It has an oily, smooth sheen, with the flavors of pear and apricot just leavened by acidity. This is certainly a warm-climate white, designed for food rather than apéritif.

Dark and crusty on the nose, with cola, raisin and foresty dampness. The palate has wintergreen along with solid black cherry flavors, while accents of pepper and licorice give it a dark side. Finish…

A Bordeaux style blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, this is a terrific value for easy entertaining that is sure to please most palates. Moderately intense with prominent black plum, cher…

This medium-bodied Shiraz is sturdily built without being too hard or too fat. Sure, it's a bit simple, relying on black cherry and plum fruit with modest hints of chocolate and spice, but there's pl…

A little gaseous and funky on the nose, but that's common for inexpensive Garnacha. Once it unfolds, it deals saturated, chunky black-fruit flavors, a jammy mouthfeel and fatness on the finish. It is…

An expression of Riesling Renano grapes, Il Torrione has a saturated golden color and opens with aromas of apricot, lemon zest, yellow rose and caramel butterscotch. It shows a smooth, ripe mouthfeel…
