Punchbowl melon and tropical fruit aromas are the lead act. Next up is a zesty palate of green apple, melon and citrus. The body is a bit plump and round, while the finish shows orange peel and lime zest. Good for Mendoza Sauv Blanc.

Soft, lightly fragrant and peachy, with a hint of talcum powder to the nose. The palate offers your basic mix of melon and lychee, while the feel is good and there’s a persistent finish. Straightforward stuff.

This Chardonnay-Semillon blend is not normal. It tempts you early with fresh, lightly floral aromas. But once it gets to your taste buds you quickly realize that something’s up. In this case, we’re talking sweet, sticky flavors that aren’t textbook and don’t really stir much interest. Weird and cloying.

For the price, this is pretty good. Not very Syrah-like, but if you enjoy plum, cherry and currant flavors along with pretty good mouthfeel and balance, you’ll get it here.

A little buttery and wayward, but not without its good points, which include ripe apple, melon, citrus and papaya flavors. The body is fairly hefty and the finish carries heat, but overall offers decent fruit-salad flavors and pretty good balance.

Warm, earthy, leathery and grapy, with a mildly tart, underdeveloped palate that offsets any roughness with a blanket of creamy oak resulting in flavors of berries and milk chocolate. With more focus, riper fruit and less oak, this wine could better.

Strawberry jam and green herbs on the nose, with milk chocolate and carob blended with vegetables and berry fruit on the palate. Too stalky and green, with a ragged mouthfeel.

What else can you say about this three-grape blend other than it’s heavily oaked and doesn’t have the fruit or complexity to handle it? The bouquet is like a trip through the sawmill, and the palate is akin to biting into a log.

Not a bad value. The wine is a touch reduced and short on mouthfeel and aromatics, but it still delivers creamy vanilla flavors, raspberry essence and decent density. The sum of all its parts is better than the individual components. Best now, and in casual settings.

Bold berry aromas turn a little sweet and simple with airing, while the palate deals plum and berry flavors on a tight, tannic frame. Bright and colorful but fairly rough and basic in what it has to offer.
