A big, rather blowsy wine, flabby around the edges although with a core of ripe peach flavors. More fruit would have been welcome.

From a warm area of France—the hefty body and overt sweetness virtually announce “Pays d’Oc white.” Melon and lemon notes spread across the chewy palate. A heavy dose of candy-store sugar is partially balanced by a brisk tang on the finish.

A soft wine, certainly ripe, but with a metallic edge that spoils the lime and green plum fruit flavors.

Opens with mild petrol and light apricot aromas, layered with butter. But before you discard it as over-the-top, notice the fine acids and long soda-cracker finish. It does well with food and leaves a positive overall impression.

Sweet and rich fruit, an attractive honey and toast flavor give this dry wine good softness. There is weight that brings out the ripe, creamy and warm texture.

Early aromas of clove and spice give way to chunky berry fruit and some grassy notes. The palate bursts forward with juicy fruit and full tannins, and the finish is reasonably long. Snappy and simple, with a forward attitude.

The Beaujolais Villages appellation adds weight to this Nouveau. There is structure, some density, and firm but not bitter tannins. A banana flavor is everywhere, edging between the fruit and freshness. The aftertaste works, though, with its lively, smoky character.

Don’t let the impenetrable nose fool you; below the surface is a core of plummy black fruit, peppery spice and some decent tannins. Plenty of body for a $7 wine, and we can see it going over like gold at restaurants. Best Buy.

The spicy, violet-tinged aromas of French country Merlot are all over this easy-quaffing red that has just enough nuance to bring it to this level. Not deep, rich or complex, but fruity with pleasant floral qualities and full flavors.

Very ripe strawberry and light cherry fruit. Lacks a bit of depth, but cleanly made. Medium-bodied and simple. Best for pizza and large parties.
