This wine is flat and simple, with touches of herbaceous earthiness and cedar. Plum and blueberry-fruit flavors are welcoming if lacking in complexity, with the finish offering a hint of cinnamon.

Opens with sharpness along with red-fruit notes and a hint of vinegar. The palate holds onto that acid-driven feel, and there's saucy, herbal berry and cherry flavors. Finishes on the shallow side, w…

This soft, young wine is all about red-berry fruits. With a touch of spice and acidity, it is should be drunk quickly while its fruitiness remain fresh.

Aromas of green bean and citrus peel struggle to impress. This feels raw and pinching, with pulling, dry tannins. Herbal red-plum flavors finish green and with an oaky note of carob.

Not much of this wine was made, the grapes coming from a vineyard in the heart of the appellation farmed by Phil Coturri. Earthy and light in oak, it struggles to show fruit, remaining more about min…

This is a young wine with a lean texture and stalky fruit from a Chablis-based producer. It feels cool with its acidity and red-currant fruits. Drink now.

Ruddy slightly overripe black cherry and berry flavors are juxtaposed with tart green notes in this fruity but rustic Cabernet Sauvignon. Soft, sunny acidity lends a plush, juicy mouthfeel and a bris…

You can find aromas of purple flower, red berry and a hint of chopped herb on the nose. But the palate is thin and diluted, offering suggestions of sour cherry and a green note of powdered sage along…

This pale-colored soft wine has attractive fruitiness. Red fruits and a touch of spice are linked with gentle tannins. The wine is already gaining maturity and should be drunk now.

Oxidative in character, this ripe wine has melon, spice and almond flavors. It is ready to drink.

Finely balanced, simple Sauternes with light apricot and honey flavors. With just a touch of botrytis dryness, the aftertaste is more sweet.

A rush of zippy, fresh fruit and spice aromas recommends this white from New York, offering the kind of clean fruit flavors and minerality that makes this region unique. The wine lacks real complexit…

You might mistake this for a young coastal Pinot. It's crisp, light-bodied and silky, with cherry, cola, herb tea and spicy, smoky flavors. If only the wine were dry.

A well structured Cab with plenty of cassis, blackberry and black cherry aromas and flavors. Subtly smoky vanilla, herbal and roasted coffee notes complement the fruit on the palate. The mouthfeel is…

A bit too much new American oak was thrown at this crianza, leaving minty, drying aromas that veer into the butter and dill range. The palate is largely fresh and balanced, with peppery red-fruit fla…

This is a rustic wine with very ripe fruit that gives a red jelly flavor. It is simple, with a dry edge and acidity, ready to drink now.

Perhaps made in a light-bodied style, this wine comes off as herbal and a touch green, with a dullness on the palate. Aged in 30% new French oak, it takes on a taste of coffee bean that intrigues.

Simple cherry aromas with notes of cinnamon and chlorinated pool open this light-colored but blocky Pinot Noir. It tastes salty and sweet, with generic plum and red-fruit flavors. Very little flavor…

This 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon blend is a fruity, rustic wine, with broad mixed berry and cherry flavors. They lead into an earthy and tannic (and short) finish.

A solid, straightforward red that is immediately approachable and extremely drinkable. It's satiny in texture, with red fruit aromas and flavors of cherry, raspberry and rhubarb supported by hints of…

Soft, with smooth, sweet tannins and flavors of black currants, cherries and mocha that have a tinge of overripe raisins. Drink now.

This pitch-black Malbec smells like prune juice. That overripe character also shows on the overweight palate that deals saturated flavors of fig, raisin and prune. The finish doesn't display a lot of…
