Jammy stuff, with hints of mint, leather and cotton candy. The palate is basic, with adequate structure and nicely presented berry fruit as well as herbal accents. Sweet on the finish, with some sugary stickiness. Gets better with time in the glass.

Smooth, deep and very attractive, with sensational ripeness and layer upon layer of quality. The nose is sweet and inviting, while the blackberry fruit is ideal. The layered finish offers coffee and chocolate and the mouthfeel is right on the money. A fine example of Argentinean Syrah, something you don’t come across every day. Best Buy. —M.S.

Clean and basic, with peach, buttercup and floral aromas. The palate is round, simple, fresh and not too acidic, with melony flavors and a soft, easygoing, monotone finish. Generic but perfectly adequate Torrontés; drink now.

Severely compromised by green, minty, weedy aromas and flavors. If it weren’t for the color and reasonably solid mouthfeel, this would be sunk. As is, it’s not a ripe, balanced wine.

Lemony and stretched on the nose, with resiny oak aromas and a light hint of green. The palate has size, tannin and lots of oak, while the flavors run creamy and woody, with generic berry fruit residing under the surface. Decent for under $15, but an excess of oak creates a one-sided final product.

This straggler from the fine ’99 vintage really sings. The first act is a smooth and luscious nose of blueberry jam and spice. The palate then delivers richness and loads of bursting berry fruit. It’s made to please and is ready to drink now. Best Buy. —M.S.

Smells strange, like a bowl of Smucker’s raspberry jam or applesauce. The palate is creamy and dull, with flat, jammy, candied red fruit flavors that do little to excite. Finishes with a wave of sweet marshmallow and vanilla.

Given the local competition, this Pinot Noir-dominated sparkler is pretty good. It has a peachy color along with creamy aromas that might be a little oxidized but are soft and easy nonetheless. The palate feel is frothy, while the flavors are of peach pits and underripe cantaloupe. Finishes dry and lively.

Red in color and flat in terms of bubbles and mouthfeel. It smells and tastes burnt and bitter. This is an odd conconction made from Malbec that’s barely acceptable.
