En ekte chilensk Sauvignon Blanc med aromaer av selleri og grønne bønner sammen med havsaltaktige noter. Frisk på ganen med sprø sitrus og grønn eple-smaker, og en drivende avslutning på grunn av lys…

Shows the winery's characteristic green, tart gooseberry flavors and zesty acidity. There's a richer streak of grapefruits and pineapples. It's an elegant wine whose low alcohol, below 13%, doesn't p…

This Marlborough Sauvignon from a Hawke's Bay winery is a little on the herbal side—even close to vegetal, although it doesn't quite go that far. A trace of sweetness lingers to balance out the tobac…

This simple, bright Dolcetto is packed tight with plump fruit tones, spice, leather and a touch of moist pipe tobacco. It's a thick, dense wine that offers loads of mature blackberry and cherry on th…

Aromas of ripe blackberry, toasted oak and a whiff of roasted coffee bean lead the nose and carry over to the palate of this forward wine. It's already extremely accessible so enjoy soon.

There are pleasant green elements on the nose, and it's light and racy on the palate, with pepper and blackberry flavors, before the mouth-drying tannins arrive. An affordable yet bold Cabernet.

This companion to the winery's “Right Blend” is two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon, the rest an even mix of Merlot and Cab Franc. It's still a little stiff, lightly leathery, and shows a streak of green i…

Aromas recall underbrush, truffle, violet, tobacco leaf and black berry. The palate offers up red cherry, white pepper, clove, licorice and espresso alongside angular and drying tannins.

Like its rosé partner, this is round and creamy on the palate. Some biscuity notes dress up citrus and apple flavors in this easily accessible sparkling wine. It's clean and well made, with no rough…

Apple juice, pineapple and honey provide the central aromas, with a bit of citrus on the edges. It's lean and mean on the palate, with fresh apple and pear cider flavors picking up some lemon before…

This 100% Tempranillo was sourced from the Stonetree vineyard. It's soft on entry, with brambly red fruits, a wash of milk chocolate (from aging in 50% new oak) and a hint of leather.

Appealing aromas of blueberry and vanilla make for a very solid Bordeaux blend. Flavors of plum, cranberry and pomegranate lead into a licorice finish.

Confusingly labeled as Pivot Blanc (not Pinot Blanc), this is actually a Riesling! Off dry, lightly fruity, with pleasant flavors of lemon and breakfast tea, honey and chamomile, it's best consumed y…

This shows the briny citrus and bell pepper aromas typical for Chilean SB. This is tangy and feels good, with snappy cactus, lime and tangerine flavors. A mild but fairly long finish is citrusy and j…

Citrus freshness and frothy fizz make for an easygoing, feather-light and uncomplicated sparkler, perfect for informal gatherings. The finish is dry, clean and refreshing.

Fabiano's pretty Valpolicella Classico Superiore offers very nice aromas of plump red cherry followed by spice, leather, tobacco and moist earth. It's a simple wine in the mouth but it's not without…

Lean and crisp, with lime and green apple notes that finish clean and refreshing. Devoid of much sweetness, this is a relentlessly dry Riesling, linear in profile and sharply focused.

Chopped herb, underbrush, truffle and balsamic notes lead the nose. The palate is fresh, vibrant and polished, offering sour cherry fruit with a hint of licorice. A sage note closes the finish.

This was barrel fermented, and picked up a fair amount of oaky flavor as a result. The barrels overtake the light apple fruit, at least for now, but consider this as a fine, inexpensive alternative t…

Sawdust, oak and grilled rosemary aromas lead the nose. Lacking fruit richness, the lanky palate instead displays espresso, licorice and cured salami flavors, while bracing tannins grip the finish.

This is a well-structured Zinfandel-based blend with a wild streak and significant amounts of Carignane and Charbono. It has spicy, earthy, new-leather aromas, modest fruit flavors and a firmly tanni…

Fragrant blue flower, baking spice and wild berry aromas lead the nose. Zesty acidity and taut tannins frame fresh sour cherry, star anise and chopped herb flavors.

A blend of 75% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot, 10% Canaiolo and 5% Colorino, this easygoing red opens with subtle black-skinned fruit and tilled soil scents. Smooth tannins frame the straightforward palate,…

Stone-fruit aromas of peach and nectarine include a hint of gardenia and bath soap, which is likely attributable to the 40% Muscat that leads Viura, Chardonnay and Verdejo. With a grabby oily texture…
