En interessant blanding av 77 % Pinot Gris og 33 % Chardonnay fra en ettertraktet vinmark, Buddy's er eikete, salt og fyldig, med en blomsteraktig duft som lettet byrden og representerer Pinot Gris-k…

Pleasant, with soft texture and tannins and notes of cinnamon and clove, this Lodi Merlot drops a bit at the finish and is 13.1% alcohol.

It is amazing that 134,000 cases of this budget bottling can be made to this level of quality. From a classic vintage, it's structured and substantial, overcoming the somewhat overdone vanilla flavor…

This screaming vintage of Secreto is the living definition of pungency. Immediately it hits with fierce gooseberry and nettle aromas along with passion fruit and grapefruit. The palate is acidic and…

This wine is young but ripe, with spice and blackberry fruits. It has a core of mineral tannins that are a reminder of the hard schist rocks of the Douro. With this dry structure, it needs to be aged…

Jammy, somewhat green aromas are suggestive of tomato sauce with oregano and thyme. This feels full, creamy and thick, with earthy, herbal berry flavors that finish with creamy weight and chewy tanni…

Pale in color with an orange rim, this transparent, very varietal wine offers aromas of strawberry, herb, cherry, sassafras and cola. The flavors are light and elegant but linger.

From a property that is just below the Montée de Tonnerre Premier Cru vineyard, the 30-year-old vines give a round, easygoing wine. The tight texture is really lost in the fresh pear and apple flavor…

This soft, ripe perfumed wine has a fine, clean texture of apple skins. Orange zest and a citrus acidity come through strongly in this wine that is bright and fresh at the end. Drink now.

Nervy cranberry and grainy-oak aromas struggle to achieve cohesion on the nose. Flavors of buttery oak, green herbs and berry fruits finish with herbaceous notes and a flabby feel.

Tight, crisp and fruity, this is a refreshing and bright wine. Lively acidity cuts right through the lightly mineral texture. Full of fruit, fresh and lively, this should be drunk now.

Vibrant, fruity aromas of red cherry concentrate and bubble gum powder ride over a sweet sawdust note on the nose. The palate shows a bit of depth and darkness, with tart black plum and grippy plum s…

This blend of 55% Shiraz and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon is full bodied and rather tannic, with dark notes that run the gamut from leather and grilled meat to espresso and mocha. Fortunately, the texture…

This new vintage of the Zena Crown seems already faded. Light, tart strawberry fruit lacks concentration and carries a bit of bitter herb flavor. Tannins are earthy and the finish abrupt.

Campfire smoke punctuates the opening of this intensely dense wine. It veers into jammy, syrupy territory, red and black berry fruit exploding at its juicy core.

Soft and creamy, this wine has a line of acidity that gives it great lift. Lime and ripe apples go with green plums to give both freshness and a tangy character. It's a wine to age a few months; drin…

Damp forest and dried cherry with cranberry combine on the nose and palate in this wine, sourced predominantly from Monterey County. Soft and silky it risks veering off balance once the oak begins to…

Though tart and chalky, this has interesting notes of rose petals and saddle leather, with light berry fruit. It does show varietal specificity, but the wine fades quickly and lacks concentration.

Soft and fruity, this has broad red-fruit flavors. Acidity, light tannins and a ripe, perfumed character from the blend of Syrah and Touriga Nacional make it rich and warming.

Soft and diffuse, this offers light flavors of pear with a hint of spice. Done entirely in stainless steel, it's a good, all-purpose white.

Dusty aromas include notes of apple cider, cured meat and cumin. A loosely built palate features slightly mealy, lightly bitter flavors of pithy citrus and mango, while the finish is plump but not te…

Yeasty, slightly stalky aromas of melon, citrus and peach are simple yet fresh. This feels solid, pulpy and fleshy, but not flabby; flavors of melon, papaya and white grapefruit finish pithy and slig…

While this is largely neutral-smelling, it's flush in the mouth, with pithy citrus and green apple flavors. Lasting and steady on the finish, this blend of Chardonnay and Muscat is juicy and alert af…

With good acidity, this is a crisp, dry style of Pinot Gris. Plenty of spice and tropical fruits give richness to this fresh wine.
