Rustically crisp and a bit on the sweet side, with clean flavors of spearmint, lemons, limes and vanilla.

As sweet as a dessert wine, this Riesling has sugary flavors of tropical citrus fruits, apricots, vanilla and spice.

Soft and charming, with jammy cherry, blackberry and chocolate-covered mint flavors. The wine flirts with off-dryness, but its crisp acidity provides a welcome balance.

The alcohol is nice and low, just 13.3%, but the wine tastes like it has residual sugar, with apricot jam and pineapple jelly flavors. Crisp acidity helps, but it’s really too sweet for a table wine.

Sweet as a dessert wine and too soft in structure for true balance, this Bordeaux blend is saved by delicious flavors of cassis, cherry pie, white chocolate and smoky oak.

With white-sugared pineapple and peach flavors, this Viognier is simply too sweet for a table wine that’s supposed to be dry. Yet it’s clean and crisp and will appeal to some.

Just like the barely drinkable regular release, only with an overlay of oak. Smells vegetal, and the thin flavors veer toward grapefruit.

Awful, and just barely acceptable as a table wine. Starts with vegetable aromas of canned asparagus, and turns sharp and acidic in the mouth, without a trace of fruity flavor.

Based on Sangiovese, this super Tuscan wine offers lots to like. It’s absolutely dry and very soft, with cherry, tobacco and currant flavors that swirl together into a clean finish complexed with dusty tannins.

This wine is kind of lean, with an astringent dryness framing thin fruit flavors. It’s surprising, because Falkner’s ’02 Merlot is really a very good wine.
