No oak to interfere with the ripe, opulent flavors of pineapples, lemons, limes and tangerines, which are brightened and heightened by crisp acidity. The price is right on this balanced, savory Chardonnay.

This is a lean, acidic and disagreeable wine. It’s unripe and minty, and even slightly vegetal, although there’s just enough cherry-berry fruit to squeeze by.

Dry and harsh, with green, minty flavors and sharp acidity. Clean, but not showing much in the way of fruit.

Juicy in tutti-frutti blackberries, cherries, plums, raspberries and milk chocolate, this soft, smooth Zin is also very peppery. It’s a somewhat rustic wine to wash down with barbecue.

A little one-dimensional, but otherwise a nice, everyday Pinot Noir with good varietal character. With a silky texture, it has dry, clean flavors of cherries, cola, spices and oak.

Good, but overly soft and simple, with a taste of melted cherry pie, cola and licorice. Needs greater structure and liveliness.

Thin in flavor, with watery tea and cola flavors and a few drops of cherry essence, this wine has the benefit of extreme dryness and crisp acidity. Those latter qualities go a long way in making up for a lack of fruit, especially at this low price.

One of the more successful Pinot Noir rosés, this one is dry, as the label promises, and crisp in acidity. That makes the strong raspberry and vanilla cola flavors feel clean and bright.

Good price for a dry, crisp, clean and versatile rosé. With mouthwatering acidity, it shows pretty flavors of red cherries, cranberries, Dr. Pepper cola, vanilla and spices.

A bit harsh and green in tannins, with menthol-infused blackberry and cherry flavors that finish in a scour of pepper. Drink now.
