In this suave and attractive wine, spicy oak aromas lead to rich fruit and more spicy oak flavors, all wrapped in a soothing texture of light tannins and subtle acidity. It's a pleasure to drink.
A fifty-fifty blend of Nero d'Avola and Merlot, this polished wine opens with scents of ripe plum, blackcurrant and exotic spice. The round, creamy palate offers juicy blackberry, wild cherry, white…
Gossamer-light in texture, this delicate Gewürztraminer seems to whisper tones of apricot, blossom and peach on the nose and palate. A shade off dry, it's an elegant, mineral-toned wine. Drink now to…
Given the great potential of the 2015 vintage, it's reassuring to see that some big brands have scored successes like this. Explosive aromas of lime, tangerine and pink grapefruit burst from the glas…
This wine is round, smooth and rich. The palate brings a tangy, herbal texture, but this is balanced by the ripe apricot and white peach flavors. The aftertaste reveals a more spicy flavor.
A very buttery wine, it is soft, smooth and creamy in texture. Contrasting citrus flavors add a crisp touch. The acidity winds through the ripe fruit to give a bright edge.
Lively, bright and very textured, it discloses fresh apple and pear flavors along with a more nuanced, honey character. The wine is developing well, giving great acidity while also promising fruitine…
This wine has unusual, penetrating, floral aromatics and a liqueur-like character. It was fermented in a mix of new and neutral French oak, and a caramel character comes in as the wine breathes open.…
Firm and compact, this marries tart red and purple fruit to tannins, with a soft streak of leather and a dusting of coffee grounds. Flavor integration is excellent, and the wine will drink well throu…
Intensely mineral on the nose with aromas of wet granite and steel, this delicate dry Riesling builds in floral, fruity exuberance on the palate. Fleshy and ripe with white peach and honeydew flavors…
With residual sugar at 200 g/L, this is much more concentrated than the average wine labeled Late Harvest. With enough acidity to stay focused and avoid any suggestion of syrup, it's an exceptional v…
This full-bodied wine just lacks that bit of freshness that would've taken it to the next level. Stewed plums, black olives and espresso notes are rich and complex, ending on a long silky note. Drink…
A structured, cool wine that is poised and elegant, it has a lightly creamy texture cut by apple and pear flavors. Definitely mineral, it is textured with fruit skins and flavored with the oak aging.…
Here, Pinot Noir master Richard Longoria offers a more affordable taste of his Fe Ciega estate vineyard (whose other expressions cost upwards of $45 each). Aromas range from cranberry and tart blackb…
This attractive village wine has ripe fruits as well as a more steely texture. Wood flavors give smoothness that rounds out the wine and enhances the yellow fruit flavors. Drink now.
Brisk and fruity but with a distinctive note of spice and pear, this Moschofilero offers approachable, ripe-fruit expression with an exotic edge. Pair with grilled seafood, Chinese cuisine or fruit s…
Bright and fruity, it's full of fresh acidity and has a strongly mineral texture. Green fruits, apples and pears partner with a strong citrus element. Wait until 2015.
Mint and sage aromas give an instant herbal character. That's balanced by citrus fruits that cut through the texture to give great freshness and intense acidity. Drink from 2015.
Aromas suggest sandalwood, exotic spice, vanilla, subtle oak and mature black fruit. The warm palate reflects the forward nature of the vintage and delivers underbrush, black cherry, espresso and cof…
Potent oaky aromas like nutmeg, cinnamon and toasted baguette meet abundant, jammy fruit flavors in this full-bodied and smooth-textured wine. It has moderate tannins that provide nice grip and shore…
Jammy fruit aromas and flavors and a lack of overt oak notes make this full-bodied wine easy to love. It's simply yummy in flavor, polished in texture, and has a nice, lingering ripe fruit finish.
The nose of this bottling from a stone-strewn vineyard in the heart of the appellation is very restrained, offering wet concrete, lime and lemon pith scents, with a touch of sweet chive. Pink grapefr…
Australia used to make more blends like this, using the acids of Semillon to balance the ripeness of Chardonnay. In this case, they come together to offer toasty, honeyed notes backed by a strong lem…
