Pineapple, sulfur and matchstick, and finally some woody toast steer the bouquet. The palate is big and blowsy, with toasty baked apple and pineapple flavors. Finishes sweet, with honey and a sprinkl…

Not sure if this is a sparkling wine, a dessert wine or something in between. Grassy aromas of apple juice are jumbled and slightly pickled. This stays unfocused on a fizzy palate, while sweet soda-l…

Prickly aromas of nettle and cactus include crushed vitamin scents and tropical fruit notes. This feels gritty and dilute. Tart tropical-fruit flavors of lychee, pineapple and lime finish crisp, tang…

Crisp acidity comes to the rescue of this slightly sweet wine, giving it a bracing mouthfeel that balances the sugary pineapple, peach, apricot and honeysuckle flavors.

Lightweight, with more dryness than richness, this wine is lightly sweet, hinting at botrytis, with apple and cream flavors touched by honey.

From a vineyard called Sweetwater, this Riesling itself is sweet in peach, pineapple and wildflower honey flavors. Brisk Monterey acidity balances, with a tart, prickly mouthfeel.

Here's a crisp and perky white wine from the largely unexplored wine region of Liguria in northern Italy. It offers easy aromas of citrus, apple and brimstone.

Apple and spice aromas come in front of a soft palate. Melony flavors are short on zest and finish abruptly.

Delicate scents of white flowers and fresh herbs frame the core notes of green apple and lime zest. Refreshing and easy drinking, ample acidity lifts the melon pith and citrus peel flavors that flesh…

Characteristic spiciness and grape flavors show well in this dry wine. There is an apple leanness about the texture, but the acidity gives it freshness, and a crisp aftertaste.

True bargains are hard to come by, so drop your guard for this $8 SB and you may wind up happy. Xplorador from Concha Y Toro is peachy and simple, with light grassiness and green notes. But it does h…

Boasts pristine if somewhat one-dimensional fruit aromas of green apples and limes and the flavors follow a similar pattern. It's sweet yet tart, showing decent balance in a lemonade-like way. A lawn…

Not a dry table wine, but sweet and dessert-like, although it's not classified as late harvest. Shows apricot, peach, pineapple and honeysuckle flavors set off by crisp acidity.

Mealy apple and orange custard aromas set the stage for this ripe, fleshy white. There's a roundness to the mouthfeel, as those notes continue through to the palate, though the finish offers a pithy…

Too sweet and oaky, with sugary vanilla and pineapple jam flavors. Could be a Starbucks drink. Saved a bit by crisp acidity.

This is a simple wine with upfront pineapple, lime, peach and honeysuckle flavors and smooth acidity.

This open, fruity wine has a soft side. Apples and pears are prominent along with a touch of spice. Drink now.

This started out as a perfectly nice Chardonnay. It was dry, crisp and balanced, with a minerality under the pineapple and peach flavors. Then the winemaker decided to plaster it with oak, and it tas…

Heavy, sweet and super-oaky, like a liquid infusion of buttered popcorn, pineapple jam and vanilla meringue. Will appeal to many, but purists will find it heavy-handed and manipulated.

This wine carries fairly broad fruit flavors of mixed red fruits, along with leaf and earth. Tannins are well managed; the finish light and fruity.

A buttery, by-the-book Chardonnay that's heavier on oak than on fruit, this Maipo Valley offering has apple, toast and cream flavors and oak, spice and ripe pear aromas. More of the same flavors pop…

Hints of spicy cranberry and white pepper suggest Syrah, but lack all of the grape's power. There is a fair amount of unripe leafiness as well.

Smells of vegetable oil and farm-fresh sweet corn still in the husk, but the flavors are more like what you expect from a Riesling: green apples and underripe Asian pears. The finish is a bit metalli…

Generally speaking, Errazuriz's progressive wines hit their marks. But this Chard seems to be substituting oak for substance. The bouquet comes straight from the barrel, and the palate is resiny as i…
