Ripe, oaky, but inexpensive Chardonnay often smells like lemon-lime soda pop, with a waft of spice and vanilla and a hint of smoke. This version tastes fruity and more than a little sweet, but it’s not flat, thanks to vibrant acidity. It’s geared to the American palate, at an affordable price.

Light, rustic and brimming with black-cherry fruit, with a cut of mushroom and earth. Very dry, and although the color is a bit light, it’s surprisingly acidic. Finishes earthy and rough.

Some deep stone fruit flavors, like black cherry, but this wine really comes down on the earthy side, with notes of chocolate and mint. The tannins are fine but substantial; you can feel them on the finish, which leaves the palate a little numb. It’s not likely to age, though, so drink it with rich foods.

This blend of Nebbiolo, Sangiovese and Zinfandel starts with aromas of black raspberries, mint and oregano. While it’s supple, it has a green harshness to it that dominates whatever ripe, fruity flavors it has. The result is a sharp, thin wine that leaves the palate stinging.

Melony nose with mineral and peach notes. Soft and round in the mouth, with good balance and a full feel. Finishes with tangy pear notes. Very satisfying wine
