For those who like their Zins on the sweet side, this one's rich in raspberry and cherry jam flavor, with the sweet, honeyed taste of glycerine from high alcohol.
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…
A fresh Carmenère made in a red, floral style. The nose is flowery and herbal, with cherry and red plum aromas. Clacky and bright across the palate, with herbal plum, wild berry, olive and chocolaty…
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…
A directly appealing wine with notes of peach, tropical fruit and buttered popcorn. It's lightly spritzy, with a creamy feel to the fruit flavors.
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…
Dusty, earthy berry aromas carry a minerally accent. This feels balanced and medium in weight, with a mix of red-berry fruits making up the flavor profile. The finish loses some brightness and snap w…

Well-rounded pear and apple aromas get a fresh squeeze of lemon in this good-deal Sauv Blanc. It's easy to drink, with apple popover flavors (whose toasty elements come from the 20% barrel fermentati…
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…
Purists may gripe that this is a touch on the sweet side—the dosage is 13 g/L. Although this blend of 52% Chardonnay and 48% Pinot Noir is fruit-driven and on the round and creamy side of things, it'…
One would like to see more aromatics, considering the variety, but it remains enjoyable with a lightly spritzy palate with off-dry red-apple and stone-fruit flavors. A straightforward, easy drinker.
A bit of apple, a bit of citrus, a bit of toast—things are just hinted at in this frothy sparkler which would make an ideal, dry-finishing but lively party wine.

Fiore di Campo is a blended white wine from northeast Italy and as its Italian name suggests, there are indeed many aromas here that recall fresh field flowers. Distant accents of dried hay, crushed…

Zucca has made a fragrant and floral Sangiovese Rosato here, dry like cherry jam on toast and a nutty finish. Pair it with tropically seasoned seafood.
Citrusy in style, with aromas of orange, passion fruit and grapefruit. Feels flush and full-bodied, with basic tangerine and navel orange flavors. Fresh on the finish but hollow in terms of depth, wi…

Dark and sweet smelling, with marzipan, coconut, licorice and black fruit aromas. Surprisingly clacky and tartaric feeling, with oak-slathered berry flavors that are both baked and racy. Shows flashe…
As prices for Argentinean Malbecs climb, this is a really good value. It's earthy and full, and slightly rustic on the nose. Feels ripe and rugged, with scratchy tannins supporting red berry and oak-…
