* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Smooth, with a pleasant aromatic opening of toast blended with white fruits. Round apple, papaya and banana work the palate, which shows perfect acidity and an even keel. Tropical as a whole, with commendable texture. Imported by Winery Exchange.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Perfectly good in a mainstream way; the nose offers earth and leather with some roasted dark-fruit aromas. Black cherry and raspberry on the palate are softened by some wood, while the finish starts with bold flavors and then veers toward tight tannins. A bit tough, but tasty.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Classic dark-cherry aromas start it out. Next up comes a ripe, snappy, zesty palate defined by pulsating raspberry accented with touches of milk chocolate and a blast of smoke. A serious wine with integrity.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Fairly roasted and earthy, with a lot of coffee, leather and dark berry to the bouquet. Definitely weighs in as full bodied, and flavorwise the fruit runs dark, with licorice and toast shadings. Finishes kind of grabby and tannic, but generally speaking it’s solid stuff.

This global brand has a hit in Mendoza. The ’06 Malbec is lively and made right, with hickory and charred steak aromas mixing nicely with the blueberry and blackberry character in the wine. It’s a darn good New World red for not much cash, and it should hold up well for at least a couple of years.

Bargain-hunting shoppers should be happy to find this in their local stores. Presumably a blend from different Rhein regions—hence the lowly Tafelwein designation—it is nevertheless a tasty, balanced wine. Lime and slate notes power the bouquet, while the flavors are rounder and more lush. Off dry; drink now.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

The first impression is a good one with ripe cantaloupe melon, pineapple and almond praline. But come back for a second whiff and the wine appears flat, bordering on oxidized, and is somewhat flabby in the mouth with a short finish.

A Pinot-weight Shiraz with pleasing flavors of black cherry, earth and eucalyptus. Cooler notes prevail on the nose. Ends with seeped-tea flavors.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Sweet aromas of raspberry and grape soda set the stage, while sweet plum, grape and vanilla flavors play their parts. Fairly full-bodied, but residual sweetness makes this wine eminently drinkable. Imported by Winery Exchange.
