The whirl of conflicting aromas and flavors in this wine include lactic cream cheese and butter, medicinal menthol, eucalyptus and sour stewed berries. Still, the even, smooth mouthfeel makes it a decent bar glug. 1 Note

Smells and tastes like the fruit juice blends that kids drink—those mixes of peach, pear, apple, and other non-grape fruits. Add in an industrial-chalk note and you get a Shiraz that doesn’t much taste like a Shiraz, or any red wine, for that matter. 1 Note

Nutty, peachy aromas; similar flavors, plus flashes of white pepper, come through on the palate. Wide and soft but not full, easy but not profound. Imported by Foster’s Wine Estates Americas. 1 Note

A zesty, citrus-accented wine that features aromas and flavors of lemons and limes, piecrust and minty herbs. Finishes clean and refreshing—a racy wine that nevertheless isn’t lightweight. 1 Note

This medium-bodied, slightly viscous Chardonnay displays restrained alcohol (12.8%) and little obvious oak influence. Tropical fruit notes are edged with grapefruit and lime, leaving a fresh impression on the finish. Drink now. 1 Note

This medium-bodied Cabernet shows some rather coarse tannins and ample herbal notes alongside fruity hints of plum and black cherry. Hints of bitter chocolate creep in on the finish. 1 Note

A decent value, the 2009 Tic Tok Shiraz is medium bodied and easy to drink. The blackberry fruit is easily accessible, accented by hints of vanilla, pepper and clove, while the texture is supple. Drink now. 1 Note

Coming in at just under 13% alcohol, this is a dry, Provence-styled rosé marked by crisp strawberry and citrus flavors. Ending on a refreshing, slightly chalky-mineral note, this would make a fun summer sipper. 1 Note

Unlike some other vintages of this wine, which have seemed a bit hard, this effort is full-bodied and lush, albeit a bit unstructured. The result is a softly tannic mouthful of cola, black currant and dried-spice flavors that would be a fine companion to tonight’s grilled steak. Good now. 1 Note
