There's a touch of burnt matchstick at the very start of this wine, but it later opens to reveal citrus, stone fruit and white flowers. The mouthfeel is lean and tonic and this easygoing white blend…

Adelaida's basic Paso Cab is delicious and charming, a wine to enjoy with grilled meats or even a simple roast chicken. Direct in blackberry, currant and chocolate flavors, it finishes a little sweet.

This is a pale, light-bodied rosé with aromas and flavors reminiscent of underripe peach and melon. It's clean, dry and even a bit austere on the finish, making it a fine apéritif.

Broad and slightly too sweet for its modest acid levels (17 g/l residual sugar; 5.3 g/l TA), this wine does deliver oodles of succulent fruit, ranging from red berries to ripe peaches and citrus.

Noticeable oak-driven notes of toasted nuts take center stage and are embellished by delicate tones of stone fruit, chestnut honey and yellow flower. The oak notes are strong, though, and take away f…

Made from a majority of Merlot rounded out by other red Bordeaux varieties, this wine leans savory, featuring mushroom and leather within a suggestion of Martini olive water. The fruit is more shy, r…

This pert, dry red has a nose of cinnamon, clove and red berries while the palate offers dried cherry, plum and pepper. A good everyday red to pair with grilled meats and cheeses.

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…

This entry-level wine from Lagrézette is certainly purple in color. With touches of wood under the juicy red fruit flavors, and soft tannins, it cries out for a barbecue.

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…

Light and crisp, this wine has citrus and green-plum flavors. It is still developing, with plenty of acidity as well a perfumed character. Drink this attractive wine from 2018.

Dark in color, smoky and full of coconut and mocha aromas. However, the palate is more acidic, tight and starching than ideal. Add in peppery, herbal flavors to the black cherry, oak and high acidity…

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…

A wine with faults and a few positives. On the nose, it's roasted almost to the point of being overdone. It smells like baked fruit, roasted peanuts and tire tread. Doesn't sound great, does it? But…

Bone dry and earthy, this Cab shows modest flavors of blackberries, currants and mocha. It's a clean, affordable wine that's good for an everyday red.

Robust and briary, this Zin is bone-dry and pretty tannic, with earthy flavors of blackberries, tobacco, currants and spices. Could mellow with age, but will never be particularly complex.

A magnetic nose of cinnamon spice and cigarbox leads this elegant Cabernet from Excelsior, and it's followed by balanced cherry and blackberry fruit flavors. Firm tannins, good acidity and an overall…

A very nice everyday wine, bone dry and savory in acidity. Shows polished flavors of lemongrass, vanilla, cinnamon pepper and wildflowers. Puts everything else at this price to shame.

This cleverly named blend of Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot is rustically likeable. It's a soft, slightly sweet and gigantically fruity wine, with some softening, creamy influence from oak.

Jammy and fruity-sweet, with peppery raspberry, cherry and mocha flavors, offset by rich, dusty tannins. A sound, everyday Zin that will love gooey cheese melted on almost anything.

This is Korbel's first-ever brut made with organic grapes. It's a solid sparkler, but not particularly better than any of their others. It shows rich flavors of citrus, vanilla and yeast, and is very…

This is a pretty good price for an everyday, introductory Pinot Noir. It shows proper qualities of dryness, silkiness and cherry cola flavors, enhanced with oaky notes.

Herbal and juicy, this is a straightforward, larger-production wine with a grip of tannins supporting waves of coconut and red and black berry. It's well priced for the quality and is a good choice f…

Blending inneholder 18 % Syrah, som bidrar til å fremheve krydder- og søte fruktaromaer. Men bak dette er det en kraftig og ganske tanninrik vin, med en dissonans mellom jordbærfrukten og den litt st…
