Vegetal notes, mild citrus and sulfuric aromas make up the nose of this fresh but limited SB. Herbal, peppery green-fruit flavors are lean and finish with notes of rosemary and other green herbs.

This bottling's slightly dank nose recalls the front lawn being cut on a hot summer day, but a warmer, more inviting peach and nectarine fruit component awaits in the background. The palate is tangy…

A neutral nose announces a fresh but basic palate with briny flavors of citrus, white pepper and bell pepper. A chalky, dry finish is juicy but lacks depth.

Waxy plum and a surprising characteristic of watermelon provide a subtle freshness to this otherwise hugely tannic, concentrated wine. Tar and yeast play a role as well.

This young wine is full of black currant fruit and balanced tannins. It has the richness of high alcohol, which brings out a touch of pepper. But juicy fruit dominates. Drink from 2018.

This wine is light and fruity, poised between rich tropical and herbal-laced green fruits. It has a perfumed touch from the Sauvignon Gris in the blend and a crisp texture. Drink from early 2018.

Showing its age, but unfortunately not very well, this wine has lost any semblance of freshness, with notes of overripe lemons, stone fruit, pressed buttercups and buttered green beans. The palate is…

The rarely used Atlantique appellation covers much the same region as Bordeaux, with less stringent rules. This 100% Sauvignon Blanc wine is fruity, easy, soft and full of citrus flavors. Drink now.

Leafy red-berry aromas come with a note of olive. This wine feels lean and searing, with edgy tannins and high acidity. Spicy flavors of herbal plum and tomato finish with a dusting of baking spices.

Pyrazine-based notes of green pepper are most prominent on a basic nose. This feels lean and stony. Briny, salty citrus flavors lack complexity.

Sweet oak tones frame the black cherry and currant fruit in this wine, with notes of mocha and raspberry sauce atop. The velvety texture offers good tannic grip, while ample acidity helps to keep the…

This 100% varietal wine shows medicine cabinet, barnyard, Band-Aid and dried fruit aromas followed by dried out fruit and medicinal flavors. The tannins bring some dryness.

Smells like pineapple blended with lemon candy. Zesty in the mouth, with crisp lemon, lime, bell pepper and a touch of mineral stoniness. Long on the finish, and for a wine of this price it's deliver…

Here's a good Cabernet to drink now. It's soft and gritty in tannins, with ripely forward blackberry, cherry and currant flavors, coated with sweet, smoky oak.

Here's a crisp, mineral-driven Sauvignon from northern Italy with background aromas of peach, honeydew melon and white peach. The wine shows medium consistency and good staying power with a dry, cris…

Here's a good Sauvignon Blanc that will go well with a wide range of foods. Clean, crisp and a little sweet, it has pleasant pineapple, lemon, lime and vanilla flavors.

Bargain hunters should like this mildly medicinal Cab because it's got raspberry and black fruit character and only minor faults, i.e. slight medicinality. Otherwise it's fruity, steady and respectab…

After an initial blast of earth and lettuce, this Cabernet finds some of its fruity essence. But still, it has persistent green notes that interfere with the wine's candied black fruit component. Fin…

This is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Gewürztraminer and Semillon. It's nicely crisp in acids, with sweet, jammy pineapple, apricot, peach, vanilla and cinnamon spice flavors. Good with A…

This limited-production wine is a bit tough and awkward now, but may turn the corner in the cellar after 2009. It's softly dry and tannic, with herb-infused cherry and currant flavors.

Bone dry and earthy, this Cab shows modest flavors of blackberries, currants and mocha. It's a clean, affordable wine that's good for an everyday red.

Elegant aromas of red currant, cherry and pepper start this solid Cab from Idaho. On the palate, oak and fruit integration gives the wine a smooth, rich style. Unfolding and full of personality. Pair…

Dark and crusty on the nose, with cola, raisin and foresty dampness. The palate has wintergreen along with solid black cherry flavors, while accents of pepper and licorice give it a dark side. Finish…

A Bordeaux style blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, this is a terrific value for easy entertaining that is sure to please most palates. Moderately intense with prominent black plum, cher…
