There is some peanut shell to the nose, but also banana and citrus. Medium-full in the mouth, the wine is smooth, with citrus flavors tempered by spice and nut. Picks up some lime on the sweet finish. Imported by 57 Main Street Wine Co.

With a golden hue and a fuller body than many other Sauvignon Blancs tasted from South Africa, this wine oozes mango and apple on the nose. It carries through with more apple and tropical fruit in the mouth and finish, and balancing acidity. Imported by 57 Main Street Wine Co.

Starting to show some age with a rusty color at the rim. Black olive and earth dominate the mouth, although aromas of red berry and some woody notes of spice and pastry shine through. With smooth tannins and a nice mouthfeel, this is a solid wine. Imported by 57 Main Street Wine Co.

The miniscule bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass, paired with cleansing acidity, make for a slightly spritzy wine. Classic citrus flavors and aromas are accented by the scent of a freshly mown field. —K.F.

Tart sour cherry and lemon aromas have a smoky quality, but the palate delivers a very solid core of chunky plum, leather, charcoal and spice. Its 15% alcohol is evident—the wine is pretty big on the palate, but it’s balanced. With such tight tannins, this could use another year to open up, although it probably won’t pull together any better than it is now. Imported by DC Imports LLC.

Toast, salinity and meatlean, the mouthfeel is somewhat viscous. —K.F.

Oak is a key player in this wine, caressing purple-fruit aromas with vanilla and spice. Full-bodied and vibrant in the mouth, with moderate acid and tannins, the oak lends a hint of spice to young plum and sour cherry flavors. A warm, smoky finish of lemon-rubbed leather lingers on the palate. Will improve over two years. Imported by DC Imports LLC.

This wine shows good extraction with dark color and flavors of charred meat and black fruit, but also has aromas of raspberry and a tinge of green to the plum. The juxtaposition works, although the wine could use a little more oomph midpalate. Imported by DC Imports LLC.

Red-plum aromas mix with brown sugar and sweet leather; plum, caramel and cedar show on the palate. Rich fruit, chalky tannins and bright acidity make for a delicious, well-balanced wine. —K.F.

Veiled by aromas of dry peat, cigarbox and caramel you’ll find black cherry fruit on the palate. A sip reveals the same, with the addition of green herbs that come off a touch bitter. —K.F.
