Racy cherry and red berry aromas are salinic and light, while the palate is lean and revolves around tangy, citrusy red-fruit flavors. Fresh and a little rubbery on the finish, with a tight, singular…
Opens with red fruit aromas that are like a million other generic red wines, while the body has size, grab and stickiness. Flavors of cola, cherry, cassis and plum are red in nature and basically goo…
A fresh, grassy, green herb wine, light, crisp and clean. It is a wine for easy quaffing, with no pretension, no thought needed, just summer pleasure. Drink this year. Screwcap.
Sweet flower and cherry aromas perfume this dry, berry-tinged Sauvignon Blanc. It's refreshing and quaffable, and it offers bright acidity and just a hint of green that lingers on the finish.
A rusty red color, this hearty rose shows bright red cherry, dark strawberry, sultry plum and clove spice aromas. The palate is quite rich and full-bodied with punchy plum and raspberry flavors. A bi…
Lightly citrus aromas open this wine that offers tropical fruit as well as red currant. A lively, perfumed wine, it's bright with acidity and has a juicy, aftertaste.
A blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Viognier, the aromas of wheat and almond are quite light. The flavors are elegant and offer promise but lack the concentration to deliver it.
This wine has quite fruity aromas but more lean flavors as it goes from banana in the smell to light celery and other savory flavors on the palate.
Off dry in character, this wine is ripe, soft and with a buttery flavor. Green plums and apricots combine to give a wine that is round in texture with a tang of citrus at the end.
Baked blackberries, purple flowers and a touch of leather show on the nose of this hearty bottling. The palate is framed by extremely strong, hard-to-cut tannins, which hold burned flavors of black c…
This wine is quite clear in the glass and a touch tart on the palate, finding its way to a full-bodied, slightly flabby and gummy texture and sense of heaviness.
Apple cider, night jasmine, ripe pears and orange cream aromas show on this sweeter bottling. The palate is quite clean and crisp, with rich apple juice flavors and a tactile acidity that fades fairl…
With 80% Petite Sirah and 20% Zinfandel, this is a juicy, lush red with a solid structure, moderate gripping tannins and a long finish. Red plum, cherry and milk chocolate fill the bouquet while swee…
Decent and quaffable but does not compare to the winery's Verdejo. This is prickly and full of pine needle, juniper and other sharp aromas. The palate has a good feel but pickled, briney flavors. Ske…
This is a plump Pinot Gris that does show a bit of its 13.5% alcohol. Pleasant smoke and citrus aromas give way to grapefruit and spice flavors that fade a bit quickly on the finish.
Interesting and unique blends get bonus points, but in the long run this conglomeration of indigenous grapes from Mallorca is a touch too resiny and bland to really deserve a call out. But for soft m…
Approach this simple Tempranillo with modest expectations and the jammy cherry aromas and flavors will strike you as pure and fresh. Complexity and style are not part of the equation, but an unoaked…
Aromas of lemon juice and graham cracker show on the nose and carry to the persistantly foamy palate. Additional notes of apple and orange peel offer some depth but fade quickly from unrelenting acid…
This wine is earthy, with a yeasty edge. It offers plenty of Touriga Nacional's perfumed fruit although this is masked by a barnyard character that needs to blow away. The wine requires another year…
Similar to past bottlings, Bourassa's 2005 Syrah is slightly rustic. It has a baked-fruit quality of blackberry and black cherry pie filling, and is very peppery. Given the right fare, such as a pepp…
Initially lean, but that's partly due to its youth. There is also fine, juicy fruit, pierced through with acidity, but offering tense tannins and some dark plum aftertaste.
There isn't enough fruit on this high flier to give it the unqualified seal of approval. In fact, for $50 it has its issues, namely a nose of boot polish and grainy oak. Seems like the fruit is fadin…
Leathery aromas of roasted black fruits show on the nose. Solid in feel, cherry, raspberry and a kick of salt house a medium-bodied palate.
Aromas of corn and melon are decent but hardly the stuff of legend. This feels full and round, with flavors of melon and peach, with a candied honey finish.
