Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A Rhone blend with juicy berry and cocoa flavors. Very soft and gentle through the finish. Easy with burgers and such.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Lots of ripe blackberry and dark chocolate flavors, in a dry wine with sharp acids and an edgy texture. Decent everyday fare.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dark and dry, a full-bodied wine with currant and oak flavors and a soft, creamy smooth texture. Not especially concentrated, but has a certain fanciness.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Here’s a rough, somewhat rustic Syrah, with penetrating blackberry pie aromas but flavors that seem a bit herbal. Crisp on the finish, picking up spice and tea-like notes.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Starts off a little rough and raw, with some dry, chewy tannins, but when the ripe cherry and roasted coffee flavors hit mid-palate, it turns pretty. The fruit really kicks in on the finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
On the overly sweet side, and soft to the point of flaccid. The fruit’s ripe in cherries and black raspberries.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The grapes just barely ripened, with the result that this Cab has green, minty flavors along with the berries. It's dry and acidic.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Lots to like in this affordable Chard, with its bright flavors of tropical fruits and apricots and brisk acidity. Finishes smooth and a little sweet.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
There’s a heavy overlay of toasty oak on this mid-weight wine’s modest fruit. Still, its black plum-cedar aromas and flavors have real appeal, as does the round, supple mouthfeel. Finishes in similar style, quite dark, with some lemony notes. Best Buy.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
On the sharp, rustic side, a dry wine with a wintergreen edge to the cherries and blackberries. Gets better in the glass.
