Delicately scented with white spring blossom and a whiff of tropical fruit, this medium-bodied white offers pineapple, ripe melon and nectarine zest. Lively acidity brightens the enveloping texture.
From the family estate of Bordeaux wine gurus Denis and Florence Dubourdieu, this is a crisp, refreshing Sauvignon Blanc/Sémillon blend that appeals immediately. Bright acidity, freshly squeezed lemo…
From estate-grown grapes, this opens with sizable, grippy tannins and strong barrel-heavy aromas. It then settles down into layers of blackberry and blueberry, sprinkled with a hint of cinnamon. This…
Bright, tangy, lean and appetizing, this light-bodied wine has mouth-cleansing acidity, lemon and green apple flavors, a zingy balance and clean, dry finish. Time to bring on the oysters or goat chee…
Made from 100% Muscat di Canelli grapes, retaining 9.5% residual sugar, this is a perfumed dessert wine, reminiscent of Gewürztraminer in its lychee aromas. It remains balanced and light on the palat…
Enticing flavors of juicy ripe pear with creamy, yeasty elements play about nose and palate. A yeasty mouthfeel also characterizes the rounded midpalate.
Tangy citrus and crisp green apple aromas and flavors light up this snappy wine. It smells like lemon and grapefruit with a typical touch of grassiness, and tastes lively, similar to lemon and grapef…
This opens with aromas of toast, spicy plum, espresso, leather and mocha. The one-dimensional palate offers dried black cherry, coffee bean and vanilla alongside drying tannins. Drink through 2019.
The somewhat light red-purple color does not mean that this medium-bodied wine lacks flavor. Toasty, smoky, caramel aromas from oak carry over to the bold and almost sweet flavors, powering over mode…
Roasted, gritty aromas of bacon and spicy oak are burnt on the surface. This is fleshy and full in body, with moderate acidity. Herbal, minty, lightly green berry flavors have a rooty accent and oaky…
Sultry vanilla, smoke and bergamot notes thread languorously on the nose of this intensely perfumed Chardonnay. The palate is more subdued, showing zesty red apple and lemon anchored by a crisp acidi…
Deep ruby in the glass, this wine offers a bouquet of cassis and strawberry. It is bright at first sip, but chalky tannins quickly make their presence known amidst flavors of black cherry, anise and…
Yealands is based in the Awatere Valley, a subregion of Marlborough that offers generally cooler, later ripening than the main (Wairau) valley. This is a fresh, sappy, medium-bodied Pinot Noir, featu…
Aromas of oak, mint and cola accent earthy black-fruit scents in front of a palate that's tannic and raw but firm and structured. Berry and salty, oaky flavors finish with grabby, drying tannins and…
A generosity of baked pear is supported by sizable notions of toasted oak and tannin in this burly, rich and concentrated wine.
Sometimes said to be the world's most southerly vineyard—it's certainly one of the most southerly vineyards—Last Chance is also fairly elevated. It's a difficult plot to ripen, and always seems a bit…
Sweaty and pungent, this is an aggressively aromatic wine with ample intensity. Fresh greens and passion fruit flavors finish dry, even a bit austere, without excessive weight or ripeness. Drink now.
Briny, vegetal aromas of asparagus and jalapeño lead to a viscous palate with blazing coastal acidity. Flavors of lime and tangerine are offset by vegetal bell pepper and asparagus notes, while this…
A good, rich wine, brimming with ripe, fruity raspberries and cherries and lots of savory spices. Feels a bit rustic, with a sweet, caramelized finish. Drink soon.
Sangiovese (60%) and equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot deliver soft tones of cherry and blackberry with white almond and toasted hazelnut on the close.
Interesting that they call it Shiraz instead of Syrah. Either way, it's a very dry, tannic and fairly complex wine, rich in blackberry, currant, tobacco and pepper flavors. Drink this robust, astring…

This 77% Petite Sirah has 23% Syrah blended into it, the result entirely satisfying with a rich full nose of dark berries and chocolate and spicy plum, the tannins a touch dusty in taste. This wine w…
Domaine de Roure is the top Crozes-Hermitage from Paul Jaboulet Aîné, and the 2008 is structured and tight, with wood-derived notes of scorched marshmallow and toast layered atop citrusy fruit. Turns…
