Slightly candied red fruit aromas bring a touch of herbal to the show, and the feel and flavor profile are equally tangy, zesty, lean and edgy. Red fruits are what it’s about, and palate cleansing potential is its best attribute.

What slight dark cherry fruit there is in this light ’97 is submerged under the oak. It’s a bit brown at the edges and overwooded. —M.M.

Straightforward Tempranillo aromas and flavors mark this light red. The dry berry-cherry fruit is offset by smoke, leather and rosemary notes. It’s slightly and typically on the astringent side, but turns a bit raspy on the modest finish. —M.M.

Best early and then it shows its lesser pedigree later on. Early aromas of ripe berry fruit aren’t bad before they shift to measurably jumpy and edgy. There’s black cherry candy flavors and then snap, crackle and pop on the tongue. Good for the price.

We aren’t suggesting that this inexpensive Moscato sparkler is great or for everyone, but its soda-like aromas of lychee and lime are not bad and the flavors of honeydew, lime and lychee are decent. Good enough for cake or fruit-based desserts.

A tart, foxy style of Rioja with sharp-edged aromas. The palate is crisp as ice chips, with lean, leafy flavors of pie cherry and raspberry. Tight on the finish, with a lasting scratch of peppercorn and acidity.

Lacquer and apple cider aromas lead to a sticky, sweet palate. There’s a citric edge to it but mostly it’s just sweet and tastes like orange slices and jelly beans. Imported by CIV/USA.

Tobacco, spice and cranberry aromas mix with nutty leather and sweat. This is a tangy, choppy wine with more tomato and citrus flavor than ripe berry fruit. So even for fans of classic Rioja this will seem light, lean and leathery.

Starts with pine, saline and berry candy aromas and it settles on sweet and jumpy. Juicy as can be and very lively, but also short, choppy, sweet and with a bubble gum character.
