One of the most commonly seen French rosés in the U.S., La Vieille Ferme's 2013 delivers a mouthful of bold red fruit, plenty of weight on the palate and a pleasant but quick finish. Drink up.

The first-ever commercial rosé from this producer is dull in color, with briny, pepper aromas. The palate on this Syrah-based wine is chunky and generic in feel, while salty flavors of apple skins an…

Clear and light in color and texture, this offers an inviting floral and citrus bouquet, while the palate flirts with Asian five-spice and black cherry. While the fruit is compelling, the structure i…

Peppery, herbal aromas are gritty and a touch green on the nose. This Syrah-led blend is lean in body and relatively high in acid, with a scratchy palate. Quickly fleeting flavors of raspberry and cu…

Named after the range of mountains close to the Roquevale winery, this wine is ripe, soft and offers an attractive series of red fruits and rich tannins. Drink this wine now.

Lemon and raspberry flavored wine with crisp acidity and a tight, mineral texture. It has just a hint of tannin and a squeeze of lime at the end. Drink now.

Fairly shy on the nose, this wine eventually shows lemon pith, lemon candy and slightly sweet aromas. The flavors start crisp but go quickly flatter, with light Pink Lady apples and a touch of orange…

This lightly sweet wine has an intense oaky, peppery, smoky aroma and the flavors come out the same way. The beefy, liquid-smoke character should match ribs in barbecue sauce.

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.

Bitter chocolate aromas and woody flavors are the hallmarks of this smoky, burnt toast-inflected wine. That bitter quality probably won't go away, leaving the fruit behind.

An unusual find of an old vintage currently available, this is certainly a mature wine. In fact, it is beginning to dry out—focused on old tannins rather than on the wonderful secondary flavors of a…

Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Casteão and Syrah—the four grapes in this blend are gently wood aged. That has smoothed out the already gentle tannins, giving the wine a creamy ripe texture enhanced by…

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.

Bold with tannins, this spicy wine is dense and dark. It's all structure and dryness at the moment. And, although the fruit is there, it looks as though the tannins will remain.

The name Grignolino comes from the dialect word for “seeds.” The grape, on the other hand, requires special winemaking techniques in order to soften the wine's tannins due to the natural abundance of…

Lots of color but quiet and shy, with only minimal expressiveness throughout. The palate offers just one level of baked-fruit flavors, but no variance or complexity. And in the end it's clean and sol…

Quite ripe on the nose, such that raisin and sweetness are front and center. Saturated in the mouth, but as a whole it's a bit flabby and, for the most part, it's neither here nor there. Flavors of p…

Fresh, fruity cherry, citrus and rose aromas are light and airy. This feels a bit raw and scratchy, while currant, red plum and brown sugar flavors finish juicy, snappy and uncushioned. This has all…

This bottling's extreme grapefruit pithiness meets with rainy cement and a touch of rubber on the nose. The flavors are quite reductive, with tar and sour crab apple touches.

Made from Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette and Marsanne, this wine has a soft nose of white peach and lemon zest. It is slightly stiff on the palate, with flavors of white peach, fennel bulb, apr…

This opens with a strong scent of herb and bud; it's sharp and aggressively leafy. The wine follows with similar flavors. The light fruit flavors of plum and berry are quickly suffocated with leaf, h…

Caper flower and green olive take center stage, leaving a small margin of fruit-related aromas. Because of this wine's unique bouquet, you should pair it with Sicilian eggplant caponata or any dish i…

Simple and rustic but perfect for backyard grilling, this Zinfandel, Merlot and Carignane blend is robust, tannic and superripe in berry-cherry and spice flavors. Cries out for rich BBQ sauce.

Dry to slightly off-dry and wonderfully crisp in acidity, this rosé has spicy cherry, herb and vanilla flavors, with no oak influences at all.
