This impressive value from Bordeaux house Yvon Mau shows that Languedoc-Roussillon is capable of turning out serious Syrah/Shiraz at a reasonable price. Seared meat, black pepper and raspberry scents…
This example shows a bit more character than many Pays d'Oc Chardonnays. Pretty scents of lemon and honeysuckle lead to a palate with above-average concentration and lovely lemon meringue pie flavors…
Medium-bodied and nearly completely dry, this is a stony, minerally expression of Riesling that even folds in some slightly earthy-peaty notes. Hints of citrus fall a bit short on the finish.
This rustic, herbal Tinto Fino has tarry blackberry and cassis aromas that turn horsey, minty and herbal on a nose that struggles to hold up. After hinting at savory berries, flavors turn green, bitt…
This blend of Groppello, Marzemino, Sangiovese and Barbera from Italy's Lake Garda displays a fresh note of cherry marmalade upfront. There's a rustic but genuine feel to the wine (in a screwcap bott…
At this price with Pinot Noir, you never know what you're going to get. Chime's track record is all over the board. With this 2012 vintage, their California Pinot Noir is average, and fairly priced.…
Distant aromas of melon, lemon and apricot are subtle and fail to stir the pot. This feels weighty, with pithy flavors of peach, papaya and melon. On the finish, flavors of white pepper and bitternes…
Veteran chef Puck lends his name here to a quaffable wine. It's a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and several other varieties. The mouthfeel is soft with luscious flavors veering toward cherry pi…
Grown on the shelf above the Tagus (Tejo) River, the wine is soft and ripe. It does have tannins that are well integrated into the spicy red fruits and dry core. The wine is rich, and the alcohol is…
Ruddy peach and melon aromas take on a slight dusting of mineral on the nose. The palate is rich, heavy and round in feel, with buttery lemon and melon flavors. Lactic notes carry to the slightly hot…
In a light, fresh style, this is an attractive red berry fruited wine. There are light tannins, soft strawberry flavors and a light acidity.
This started out as a perfectly nice Chardonnay. It was dry, crisp and balanced, with a minerality under the pineapple and peach flavors. Then the winemaker decided to plaster it with oak, and it tas…
A hard-edged wine, lean and mineral in character. It has a juicy tartness to it, the berry fruits surrounding a curiously hollow center.
Dry, acidic and tannic, in the manner of a young Barbera, but the flavors of cherries, blackberries and currants aren't powerful enough to outlast the astringency. Drink this tough, rustic wine now.
A lean, austere, mineral-dominated wine. Maybe it needs time, but it seems to be all extracted structure and not much fruit. Screwcap.
Moderate red cherry aromas are about as expressive as it gets, while the palate has a sharp scour to it even if the wine avoids outright tartness. Snappy and crisp at all check points, with a spot of…
Bulky, chunky lemony aromas come with a touch of green hay, or is it alfalfa? The mouth is entirely grapefruit and orange, making it citrus all the way. A stony, gravelly quality to the finish could…
Generally speaking, Errazuriz's progressive wines hit their marks. But this Chard seems to be substituting oak for substance. The bouquet comes straight from the barrel, and the palate is resiny as i…
A tough sell at this price. The nose is minty, green and smells of tobacco, spice and fern fronds, while the palate is tangy, clangy in feel and dry. Flavors of semisour, herbal cherry and plum are t…
Heavy aromas of burnt leaves, rubber and compost overshadow any berry fruit notes, while the palate is creamy in feel, with basic flavors of spiced, earthy cherry and berry. Fairly oaky on the finish…
A little burnt and rubbery on the nose, but with enough lemon and apple to balance things out. The palate is fleshy and soft, with banana and lemon as the lead flavors. Shows a bit of pithy bitternes…
Fresh and fruity with dominating notes of green apple, young white peach, chamomile and sweet grass. Lime citrus appears in the mouth and on the finish, livening up the moderate weight and medium-len…
Ordinary and one-dimensional. The grapes got superripe under the California sun, offering big flavors of pineapples and peaches, liberally accented with oak. But there's not much going on below the s…
Sweet aromas of berry pastry and black licorice are moderately convincing, while the palate is reduced and chunky, with thick but dull prune and roasted berry flavors. The finish is more of the same:…
