Stemmy and fiery on the nose, with light raspberry aromas. The palate is lightweight and acidic, while the generic palate shows cherry and plum fruit and heat. Plows on through but doesn’t register more than the basics.

Primary honey and lychee aromas fall off and dull with air, while the palate is melony and soft, with bland nectarine and peach flavors. Dry, short on flavor and weakening with each passing day. Wait for the 2009.

Candied and faux smelling, with a thin red-fruit palate that’s sweet and generic. Fresh feeling due to high acidity but otherwise dull in taste and short on substance, flavor and concentration.

A far better wine than the previous vintage. This is big, beefy and clean, with bacon on the nose. The palate is perky, zesty and high in acidity, and thus the flavors of cherry and plum are forward and alert. Finishes with snap and pop as it begs for pizza, grilled chicken or a hamburger off the grill.

Snappy, prickly, red-currant aromas fail to improve with airing. The palate is high in acidity, creating a sheer feel to the cherry and raspberry fruit that drives the flavor profile. Drying and hollow on the finish. Very regular wine, with bramble and tartness.

Heavy, inky and seemingly a bit overripe, with grassy, doughy, cake-like aromas. The palate is simple and soft, and it comes with deep berry, candy and herbal flavors. More herbal on the finish, with coconut entering the picture.

Chunky and generic smelling, with a nutty, oily palate that isn’t purely focused or clean. The palate has some bitterness and excess weight along with fading lychee and melon flavors. Not a terrible wine for $9 but the low price doesn’t erase its flaws.

Sweaty and green smelling, like a hot patch of nettles or thistles. The palate is chunky and the flavors are pickled, with a touch of apple peeking in. Heavy and strained on the finish.

Low intensity red fruit aromas are better than the sour orange peel and stemmy bramble that mar the wine’s nose and core flavors. Tart, tight red wine with a narrow mouthfeel, tannic grab and rhubarb on the finish.
