This blend of Gamay and Pinot Noir, mainly from Beaujolais, is fruity with soft cherry flavors. Its attractive fruitiness and balanced acidity are immediately accessible and ready to drink.
This wine is very soft and only lightly fruity. Some spice and touches of acidity give a crisp edge to the otherwise dull wine.
Hints of vinyl or nail polish, chocolate and raisin distract a bit from the otherwise pleasant cherry-berry fruit. It's round in the mouth, with soft tannins, so drink it over the near term.
This blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot is not one of Justin's best efforts. It's simple in construction, with soft tannins and cherry pie, red licorice and sandalwood flavors that finish with a touc…
Some vegetal flavors accompany ripe blackberries, cherries and cola in this softly tannic, high alcohol Zinfandel. It's a robust wine to drink now.
Similar to the winery's previous efforts, this is a soft, sweet and simple Chardonnay. The orange, apricot, vanilla and buttered toast flavors are good, but the wine lacks structure.
Veteran chef Puck lends his name here to a quaffable wine. It's a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and several other varieties. The mouthfeel is soft with luscious flavors veering toward cherry pi…
Grown on the shelf above the Tagus (Tejo) River, the wine is soft and ripe. It does have tannins that are well integrated into the spicy red fruits and dry core. The wine is rich, and the alcohol is…

Ripe and rich, but rather heavy and softly sweet, this wine lacks the vibrancy and elegance you want in a fine Pinot Noir, especially at this price. It's a decent everyday wine, with cola, rhubarb pi…
In a light, fresh style, this is an attractive red berry fruited wine. There are light tannins, soft strawberry flavors and a light acidity.
You can almost tell from the look that this is dense and heavy. It has a huge bouquet of wet earth, spice and oak, but not much fruit. In the mouth, it is drying and on the flat side, although still-…
The brownish color indicates that it's fading, and the raisiny, stewed fruit on the nose confirms that initial indications are on target. In the mouth, it's soft, and the cherry fruit has a kirsch-li…
Paola Gloder's estate can do better than this, especially in a vintage like 1997. The wine is already showing signs of aging and it has a lightweight character. The fruit is pleasant enough, with sof…
The nose is forward and somewhat disjointed, a broad mix of fruit, herb and wood. Flavors of stem and dill are there, along with soft, grapey fruit.
Pleasant, soft wine, easy to drink, its fruits round and somewhat dilute. It doesn't resonate, but is certainly fresh and crisp.
A little burnt and rubbery on the nose, but with enough lemon and apple to balance things out. The palate is fleshy and soft, with banana and lemon as the lead flavors. Shows a bit of pithy bitternes…
Full-bodied, thick in the mouth, soft and a little clumsy, this Syrah is marked by cherry, berry, chocolate and oak flavors. It's not going to get any better with age.

Lightweight wine that seems somewhat dilute with flavors of green plums, bright acidity and a very soft texture.
