Spicy and smoky, this wine is dark with tannins and dryness. Its dark chocolate and bitter coffee flavors suggest tough extraction. The fruit does not stand a chance.

Minty new wood aromas are the theme in this wood-laden wine. It has a burnt character from high extraction and wood aging, making it hard to discern the fruit, although there is a juicy character at…

This wine's strawberry jam aromas lead to a palate dominated by tannins. It's dry and missing fruit.

Even for the rich 2015 vintage, this is an excessive wine. Made from superripe Merlot with high extraction, it adds dark chocolate flavors to its rich, juicy blackberry jelly fruit, feeling too big a…

This lightly sweet and simple wine tastes straightforward, very fruity, soft in texture and light to medium in body.

Dry, firm and tough, this wine lacks the fruit fruit to come through the structure. It's a wine for those who like plenty of wood.

Prune, grilled herb and a whiff of salted-game aromas carry over to the light-bodied palate along with dried black cherry and a hint of clove. It's über-simple, with loose fleeting tannins.

Firm tannins and overripe fruit dominate this wine. It will not develop well, with those tannins remaining tough.

Heavily wood aged, this wine is tough and dry, with aggressive toast flavors. The concentration is there but is not from fruit.

Overripe, jammy fruit aromas and flavors spoil this wine. It's oddly balanced: soft on the one hand and tough on the other.

Smoky aromas from wood aging show again strongly in the tough wooden plank notes that dominate this wine. It's a shame, because the fruit is there.

Stalky black currant fruit aromas and a spicy, stalky character on the palate define this tight, dry wine. It's young and tough now, so give it another year and drink from 2018.

Strong spicy meaty aromas and equally assertive oak and char flavors threaten to overwhelm the fruity aspects of this dry wine but it has enough concentration to match the firm tannins. Best after 20…

Showing a bit of evolution, The Turk features hints of leather and beef alongside blackberry and cassis. It's reasonably complex for the price, but dries out a bit on the finish, suggesting it may be…

Balanced wine, the tight tannins fitting well into the black currant fruits, the texture coming from plum skins, damsons and some fresh, bright acidity.

A solid effort, this basic red blend features mint accents layered over slightly herbal cassis aromas and flavors. It's medium-bodied, with silky tannins on the finish. Drink now.

This wine is dark, sweet and slightly effervescent in texture. It has an inky color, aromas like Concord-grape juice and roses, and jammy flavors.

A beautiful nose full of classic garrigue-infused herbaceousness is supported by notes of raspberry-sage preserves and sweet spiced baked fruit. The mouth lacks a certain vibrancy, though, with a lig…

This 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon blend is a fruity, rustic wine, with broad mixed berry and cherry flavors. They lead into an earthy and tannic (and short) finish.

A firm, smoky wine, with tannins that verge on too dry. The fruit is not totally ripe, giving awkward astringency.

A simple fruity Bordeaux, attractively layering black currants, firm and dry tannins and fresh, juicy acidity. It's light, already drinkable. Screwcap.

A solid, straightforward red that is immediately approachable and extremely drinkable. It's satiny in texture, with red fruit aromas and flavors of cherry, raspberry and rhubarb supported by hints of…
