Dusty, earthy berry aromas carry a minerally accent. This feels balanced and medium in weight, with a mix of red-berry fruits making up the flavor profile. The finish loses some brightness and snap w…

Well-rounded pear and apple aromas get a fresh squeeze of lemon in this good-deal Sauv Blanc. It's easy to drink, with apple popover flavors (whose toasty elements come from the 20% barrel fermentati…

Purists may gripe that this is a touch on the sweet side—the dosage is 13 g/L. Although this blend of 52% Chardonnay and 48% Pinot Noir is fruit-driven and on the round and creamy side of things, it'…

This is a solid, structured wine that is still young. Firm tannins go with the berry fruits and acidity. Today, it's still tight and closed up, so it needs time to open out. Wait until 2016.

Black cherry, red currant and coffee aromas take center stage and carry over to the palate, along with notes of espresso and black pepper. Dense with firm tannins, it will pair well with hearty Tusca…

Confusingly labeled as Pivot Blanc (not Pinot Blanc), this is actually a Riesling! Off dry, lightly fruity, with pleasant flavors of lemon and breakfast tea, honey and chamomile, it's best consumed y…

The expected aromas of cut grass and cat pee get a bit of support from peach and herb accents. On the palate are flavors of green apple, oregano, lemon, dill and bell pepper. This is light and refres…

This shows the briny citrus and bell pepper aromas typical for Chilean SB. This is tangy and feels good, with snappy cactus, lime and tangerine flavors. A mild but fairly long finish is citrusy and j…

Made from an Italian grape called Incrocio Manzoni 6.0.13, this fresh white wine opens with aromas of honeydew melon, peach, passion fruit and almond paste. It shows a silky, smooth feel in the mouth.

Chopped herb, underbrush, truffle and balsamic notes lead the nose. The palate is fresh, vibrant and polished, offering sour cherry fruit with a hint of licorice. A sage note closes the finish.

Incredibly ripe and dried black cherry, strawberry, clove and smoke aromas give this bottling an almost port-like nose. The palate is similar, with prune and raisin touches, with cooked red fruit and…

Sawdust, oak and grilled rosemary aromas lead the nose. Lacking fruit richness, the lanky palate instead displays espresso, licorice and cured salami flavors, while bracing tannins grip the finish.

This is a well-structured Zinfandel-based blend with a wild streak and significant amounts of Carignane and Charbono. It has spicy, earthy, new-leather aromas, modest fruit flavors and a firmly tanni…

Ripe, almost-sweet fruit flavors dominate this full-bodied, soft-textured wine. It's a richer, oakier style of Pinot than most but will make a lot of people happy with its easy-going, welcoming perso…

This full-bodied wine has big aromas like baking spices, prunes and figs, while flavors recalling maple syrup and chocolate seem to coat the palate. Although technically dry, it feels sweet and lush.

Peach, caramel and honeyed aromas turn a bit soapy and powdery with airing. Plump to the point of being a bit flabby, this Semillón tastes of apricot, cinnamon and cocoa, while the finish is sweet li…

Sweeter whiffs of milk chocolate, baking spice and graham cracker accenting black fruit on the nose are replaced by more herbaceous tones of herb and bramble on the palate of this red blend. It's a j…

Coming in at just under 13% alcohol, this is a dry, Provence-styled rosé marked by crisp strawberry and citrus flavors. Ending on a refreshing, slightly chalky-mineral note, this would make a fun sum…

This pure varietal wine conjures up apple and pear juice, finished dry and crisply defined. There is no particular nuance to it, but it's well made and quite quaffable.
