This wine seems caught between being a dark rosé and a light red; the splash of sweet cherry in the front quickly turns earthy and bitter, tasting harsh and phenolic in the finish. 1 Note

A little rough all the way along, with olive, black cherry and blackberry aromas yielding to mildly tart berry flavors. Acidity is jumpy and twangy, making the wine a little hot and streaky. But that intensity will serve it well if you’re drinking it with a burger or skirt steak. Imported by Excelsior Wine & Spirits. 1 Note

A little heat on the nose is acceptable given that the remaining cherry and plum aromas are pure. A bit acidic on the palate but staunchly fresh, with good fruit flavor in the red plum category. Cleansing due to higher acidity, with hints of mocha and mineral. 1 Note

With fairly muted fruit flavors and a hint of green pepper, this lighter-bodied and easy-drinking wine will pair well with most meat or chicken entrées. Flash-pasteurized and mevushal, this is a blend of 50% Cab, 30% Merlot and 20% Shiraz. 1 Note

Ripe plum and blackberry aromas touched with baking spice and raspberry start this full-bodied Pinotage. Rich and full on the palate with slightly sweet fruit and oaky spice. 1 Note

This rather chunky, grapy wine is a good alternative to the ubiquitous Bogle Petite Sirah from California, its only real competition in the value Petite Sirah segment. The dark fruit notes turn slightly dusty on the finish, hinting at black olives. Pair it with burgers, chops or steaks. Drink now–2012. 1 Note

Simple, confected fruit flavors mark this youthfully aggressive blend. There's plenty of intensity, just a lack of focus to its rambunctious fruit. 1 Note

Beware of funky labeled Malbecs because many don’t have much to offer. Case in point, this candied, scratchy wine with wild, rampant fruit and not much else. Tastes like a jug wine. 1 Note

Nothing earth-shattering here, but this Garnacha is sweet and syrupy, with jammy berry and black plum flavors. It’s totally round and soft, with no hard tannins or confounding complexities. It’s a sound, uneventful red wine. 1 Note

Dark and resiny, with aromas of leather, black olive and jammy berries. The palate runs quite sweet and without the backbone needed to prop things up. Hence the mouthfeel is lacking and the finish peters out quickly. Tasty enough, but short on feel and structure. 1 Note
