Distinctive for its depth of flavor and smooth, velvety tannins. Carries some polished plum, tobacco, black cherry and tart flavors through the finish. A blend of Mourvedre, Syrah, Grenache, and Counoise.

An easy to like wine bursting with all sorts of fresh, fruity flavors, especially peaches. There’s also a rich, smoky taste of wildflowers and honey. A creamy texture and smooth finish round off this blend of Viognier, Roussanne and Chenin Blanc.

An exotic style that shows Viognier’s citrus and tropical fruit character but also veers into banana and smoked meat. It’s dry and rich, with powerful fruit and spice flavors, and a long, strong finish. Would score higher but seems a bit unfocused.

Another love-it-or-hate-it wine whose reviewers’ disparate ratings get turned into a middle-of-the-road score. Tasting Director Joe Czerwinski liked this wine’s bold blackberry flavors and supple tannins, which he admitted bordered on being overripe, while the other reviewers criticized it for being jammy and overripe.

Tastes like sugared orange and apricot juice, with a bizarre hit of acidity. Lacks dryness and breed, especially at this price.

A good, dry southern Rhône-style blend, whose mouthfeel is as light and silky as a Pinot Noir. The raspberry, red currant, cola, herb and spice flavors are pleasant.

Tremendous in fruit, just explodes with apricots, peaches, even bananas, and all sorts of summery wildflowers. There’s a butteriness that’s probably from oak, and the wine is soft in acids, almost too soft.

Lifted black- and blueberry flavors star on the palate, but beyond that, this wine is all about its oak-derived aromas and flavors: charred toast, smoke, hickory, vanilla and charred barrel are all descriptors that panelists used. Soft on the palate (though to continue the oak theme, one taster called the texture pulpy), with a dry finish.

Nothing shy about this wine. It’s all about peaches, mangoes, spicy pears, and even cotton candy with a minty taste. It’s also oaky and almost sweet.
