Herbal and underripe on the nose, with green notes that translate into grapefruit and herb flavors on the palate. Does pick up some riper, peachier notes on the finish.

Black cherry, caramel and toffee create a sweet bouquet. Flavors of raspberry, smoke and coffee work well together, and the mouthfeel is easy. However, it turns thin on the back palate and dilute on the back end.

Nothing special, but clean and authentic. The aromas are of candied citrus, while the palate is almost entirely lime. Low-acid and flat on the tongue.

Straightforward and honest, this Prosecco Brut lacks the delicate floral dimension that you sometimes find in this category of wine, but it does delivers a refreshing, crisp experience. Made in Piedmont, it delivers standard aromas of stone fruit and a touch of crushed almond.

Fresh and clean, like a forest after the rain. Flavors of apple, green melon and celery are lean and crisp, while the finish deals nothing but citrus. Rather monotone in style, but good.

Sweet, with vanilla cream, melon and banana. Sugary on the palate, with a bit more banana. Confectionary, but tasty.

Fruity and floral, with attractive apple, mango and melon notes. It’s like a trip to carbonated Fruitopia, a place where there’s plenty of pop and pizzazz but not a whole lot of substance. This wine will tame the toughest sweet tooth.

Extremely oaky for a sparkler, with a heavy, forceful nose that’s dominated by toasted wood grain. The equally woody palate is round, with hints of apple and caramel. Smoky on the finish, with a smack of banana and lemon.

Overtly heavy and stewy on the nose, and quite citrusy in the mouth, almost to the point of being sour. Finishes too sharp and bitter to rate higher.

Shows some oak on the nose, marked by vanilla and a hint of maple syrup. Lush plum fruit, some leather and orange zest on the palate before the tannins clamp down on the anise-tinged finish. Try after 2008.
