Very pale, with sugared orange tea flavors and a touch of grapeskin tannin. Simple and enjoyable as a quaffer.

A bit blunt, this dry wine has a good core of cherries, currants, cedar and smoke. But it’s rugged around the edges. Drink now.

Lots of people will like this wine, but purists will object to the sugary, almost Porty sweetness. It’s undeniably rich and focused in cherries, blackberries, raspberries and vanilla-chocolate truffle, with a delicious edge of smoky, vanilla-accented oak. But it’s not a dry wine, more like something you’d sip at a cocktail party.

Overly sweet, this soft wine has flavors of sugared crushed cherries, blackberries and raspberries, like high-class marmalade.

A bit on the soft, sweet side, with jammy flavors of apricots, pineapples and vanilla, this wine never saw any wood.

Smells a little indistinct, tastes soft and simple, with candied cherry, blackberry and licorice flavors that finish dry. Syrah, Cinsault, Grenache, Petit Verdot.

Pretty good flavors in this dry Bordeaux-Rhône blend, with blackberries, coffee, tobacco and grilled meat, and the tannins are firmly complex. Loses a few points for excessive softness and a watery finish.

Dark and dry, this softly tannic, fruity wine has some sharp acids that make the cherry and berry flavors finish with a bite.

Overtly sweet, like a fruity, simple Port. You’ll find sugary flavors of blackberries, caramel and chocolate and a hot, high alcohol finish.
