More lightweight than most, with strawberry aromas and accents of cinnamon cookie. Not that complex in the mouth, where plum and cherry flavors are consistent if unexciting. Generally speaking, it’s likable and zesty. Imported by Epic Wines.

Tons of color, fruit and weight add up to a big, fun but clumsy hunk of generic red wine. With a slightly slick feel and not much structure, it’s a wine that’s meant to go down easy.

Texturally it’s pretty good. The acidity is there and the feel is more or less good. But the flavors are impossible to associate with Viognier; there’s no flower blossom, lychee, candle wax, nothing. Instead, it’s generic warm-climate white wine with a slight pickled character.

Raisiny, with a texture that’s flat as Kansas. Finishes hard, with dull flavors. Imported by Epic Wines.

Quite fresh and juicy, with raw black cherry aromas and flavors of raspberry and plum. Zesty is the mouthfeel, with not a whole lot in the center. Juicy but devoid of any Cabernet heft. Imported by Epic Wines.

A touch of coconut and cream accents the dark-fruited bouquet, while the palate is less overtly oaky and more emphatic with its plum and berry flavors. No doubt this is a chewy, ripe, fruit-forward style. It’s not for aging nor contemplating; best to just drink it down with meats and pastas.

Basic but flat, with red-fruit aromas that stir little excitement. Early on, the flavor profile yields youthful cassis and plum notes, but with time it turns more tart and unforgiving. Finishes with slight fruit and hints of rubber.

Black cherry and a light floral perfume get this generic Cab going in the right direction. The palate is healthy but not heavy, while the flavors of red berries and currants are tasty but anonymous to the point that it’s hard to identify the wine as Cabernet Sauvignon. Still, it’s smooth, fruity and easy to drink.

Aromas of black fruit carry a light oak accent, and overall this is the type of Malbec that will earn more friends than detractors. Kind of hard and tannic in the mouth, with crisp black cherry and raspberry flavors. Clean but tough mouthfeel. Needs a burger or a slice of pizza to cut the tannins.

Pretty well composed on the nose, with a core of blackberry. The palate runs narrow and grabby, but the generic sweet berry fruit is tasty, albeit ultrasimple. Snappy on the finish, with the gritty feel of cherry and grape skins. Good in a basic way.
