Tastes like a Central Valley Port, with overripe berry flavors and thick, numbing tannins, although it’s not as sweet as Galleano’s more expensive Zins. 1 Note

Sweet and crisp, with rich flavors of vanilla cream, toffee, caramel, orange marmalade and cinnamon spice. Shows real complexity and interest at this price. 1 Note

This pink-colored wine smells like a pack of LifeSavers. Raspberry, cherry and strawberry flavors are sweet, while high acidity brings a slight fizziness. Nice hot; weather beach-sipper. —S.H. 1 Note

This wine may lack a bit of power, but it makes up for it with its stylish shadings of white peaches and understated notes of toasted hazelnuts. At a price point where many Australian Chardonnays lack nuance and delicacy, this one delivers. 1 Note

For the realistic price, this does offer surprisingly authentic Pinot Noir character, blending cinnamon and mushroom notes with cherry fruit. It’s lightweight but pretty—a charming, elegant red that would pair well with salmon or chicken dishes. 1 Note

This doesn’t measure up to the winery’s surprisingly good Pinot Noir, but still offers enough sour plum, pie cherry and mocha notes to warrant commendation. It’s rather light in body, with a tart edge to the finish. 1 Note

From a higher elevation—and hence cooler—region of Australia, this is a light to medium-bodied Cabernet that avoids excessive leanness, offering up a mélange of plump cassis, leather and tobacco. It’s not the most powerful Cab, but offers elegance and length at an affordable price. 1 Note

You’ll need to like that feline, extreme gooseberry taste to appreciate this wine. It’s relieved by riper grapefruit flavors, softened with a bit of sweetness. 1 Note

Pretty dark for a blush, and very strongly flavored. The raspberry flavors veer into framboise, it’s that extracted and liqueur-like. So there’s nothing shy about it. Unusual and eccentric, but a pretty, flavorful wine. —S.H. 1 Note

More than half the fruit is from San Diego, where Orfila is based. Full, earthy aromas and palate qualities set the stage for a long, woody finish. It’s on the heavy-chunky side of the fence, and thus scores few points for elegance. 1 Note
