Crusty berry aromas mesh with olive, mineral notes and leather to form a textbook Chilean Cab bouquet. The palate feels fresh and offers kick via tomatoey acids. Flavors of dried cherry, herbs, fresh…
A firmly tannic wine, its dry core surrounded by dark plum skin and damson flavors. It has weight, a potential for richness that will develop over the next 2–3 years. Solid and chunky aftertaste.
Longoria has worked with this finicky Spanish grape variety for years, with mixed results. This 2010 is lower in alcohol than the wine has been in a long time, which gives it a delicate mouthfeel. It…
This sugary-sweet dessert Chardonnay tries hard to please, offering waves of honey, tangerine, mango and vanilla flavors. It's tantalizingly delicious, but could be just a tad more concentrated, espe…
Lots of lusciousness in this blush Zin. It may be technically dry, like the label says, but there's a lush fruitiness to the strawberry, watermelon, vanilla and spice flavors. What a great summer bru…
This fresh and youthful expression of Montepulciano shows a very nice and proper side of the grape. The wine is easy and genuine overall with just enough complexity to keep the palate entertained. Bo…
Pecorino is enjoying the spotlight at the moment as one of the up-and-coming varieties from Central Italy. This oak-fermented expression opens with slightly caramelized aromas of butterscotch, candie…
This is a big, bold blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petite Sirah and 15% Zinfandel that persists in thick, dense tannin and leather and tobacco notes. Full of juicy black fruit and subtle cinnam…
There's a subtle richness to this well-balanced wine, evident in toasty accents of hazelnut and peach pit that compliment the honeydew and juicy pear-flesh core. The medium-weight palate offers ample…
Despite being less expensive, this is more expressive and fruitier than the Crozes-Hermitage. Pineapple, melon and hints of stone fruit and mango are reasonably full and rich for a wine that's labele…
Pear, white flower and crushed herb aromas jump out of the glass. The fresh savory palate offers creamy white peach, apple and a hint of nectarine zest while a mineral note lends energy.
Appealing aromas of cocoa, herb, cherry and barrel spice lead to full fruit flavors. Burly slightly drying tannins give it a firm squeeze.
From a head-trained, dry-farmed vineyard, this very delicate and rather light bottling shows minerally lava rock and riverstone aromas, tart red-cherry fruit and a touch of chaparral. The palate's li…
Woody aromas are obvious but not overdone as they dominate apple and banana notes. This Chardonnay is narrow and grabby in feel, with salty orange and popcorn flavors. As modest fruit flavors fade on…
The wine, that has been a major player in the success of Provence rosé, epitomizes the style. Fresh with red currants and red berries, it is lively and intensely fruity with just a hint of herbs at t…

Very firm and tannic, this gently earthy Merlot-dominated blend also includes 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. Cranberry and pomegranate red fruits are softened with buttery oak, and the…
California Viognier doesn't get any richer than this. Although it's dry, it has high-alcohol glycerine that gives a honeyed sweetness to the flamboyant pineapple, nectarine, peach and lemon cream fla…
This vintage of the Reiver seems mintier than others, and at times the mint seemed a dominant feature of this wine, which otherwise offers jammy berry fruit and chocolate aromas and flavors. At 15% a…
In a modern, smooth style, with plush fruit and dusty tannins, this is a ripe, open wine, an easy expression of Malbec, New World in its fruitiness.
