Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Rich in the flavors of blackberry, cherry, raspberry and blueberry, this dry wine has a rustic texture. Even though the official alcohol is 14.5%, it tastes a little prickly.

Tart in acidity and very fruity, this Chardonnay has the sweet-and-sour flavor of Mandarin orange duck sauce, with a note of buttered popcorn.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A useful white wine. It’s made in a dry, tart style, with pleasing tastes of bitter lemon and lime, herbs, tobacco and peppery spices, brightened with zesty acidity.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Soft, dry and earthy, with diluted fruit flavors that have an off-putting medicinal note. This wine is just barely acceptable.
