A bouncy, goes-with-pizza wine with taut plum and cranberry fruit and a dry mouthfeel. Wheaty, bready aromas hide lively red berries underneath. 1 Note

The label on this wine says “unwooded Chardonnay,” and in this case that seems to be part of the problem. This is a case of just too little fruit—the wine could certainly use some wood for texture, even flavor. There’s a taut framework, but there’s not much on it. 1 Note

Deep cassis aromas, a touch of licorice, and menthol notes on the nose open to a palate of black-currant and cocoa flavors in this well-balanced, medium-weight wine. Nicely structured, it finishes with good length and moderate tannins; can be cellared a few years. Best Buy. 1 Note

This enjoyable white has all the right elements: It’s mouthwatering and juicy, crisp and clean, offering dust and lemondrop aromas, with intense flavors of grapefruit and green apple. At this price, you can afford to keep a few bottles around the house, too. 70,000 cases produced. Imported by The Hess Collection. 1 Note

This Barossa Chard has lime, floral and butter noes on the nose. On the palate, there are yellow fruit flavors—think apples and bananas—and a mealy, weighty texture. Finishes with a little alcoholic warmth. Chill it and enjoy on the patio. 1 Note

Sweaty leather meets trail dust in this rustic version of Barossa’s favorite grape. Dark-skinned berries tinged with anise and coffee round out the flavors. A bright beam of acidity provides focus to this otherwise brooding wine. 1 Note

Packed with grapey, plummy fruit, smoke and vanilla, this is solid entry-level stuff. It’s not particularly rich or concentrated, but it is something that’s uncommon at this price: balanced. That makes it an attractive by-the-glass option or barbecue companion. —J.C. 1 Note

Musky spiced pear and melon aromas lead off, backed up by lush ripe pear and melon flavors. Finishes with a tasty blend of tart pineapple and peppery, clove-like spice. 1 Note

Smoky and toasty at first, there’s even a sense of meatiness to the aromas. With air, superripe nectarines emerge, combined with a mineral-graphite note. Finishes long and a bit hard; pair it with assertively flavored fish dishes, maybe something with a Moroccan influence. Best Buy. 1 Note
