Scents of greens and baked acorn squash are tinged with gaminess, while the palate offers unsweetened tea, red plums, and an odd note of MSG. This finishes with a not unpleasant vegetal ray. —K.F.

This is a very good example of the varietal’s telltale aromas of sweet peas and boxwood. Comparative aromas of fresh herbs and toasty tropical fruit carry vividly to the palate. The finish offers toast and herbs.

Blackened meat, brown sugar and wet, dark earth aromas are countered by black cherry and plum, which extend to the palate along with notes of radicchio and eucalyptus. Toasty layers of oak are present at all stages, similar to cinnamon breakfast cereal. Best Buy. —K.F.

Well balanced wine with spicy and pepper notes. This wine goes great with a steak and pepper sauce.
