Overly soft and deep in color, with heavy caramel and red licorice aromas. With no edges and little acidity, the wine seems flat. In addition, it finishes with bitterness as well as sugary sweetness. Imported by Quality Wines of Spain. 1 Note

One of California's best and most consistent rosés. Shows tea, lychee, violet, peach and cinnamon aromas. Dry and complex, with stone fruit, spice and herbal flavors. This is serious rosé; ty with broiled fish with salsa. Best Buy. 1 Note

Young and open, with light red-fruit aromas on the candied bouquet. Nothing complicated here; just snappy raspberry and candy flavors followed by a gritty, sugary finish. Standardfare Garnacha from a warm climate. 1 Note

This Rhone blend drinks candied and off-dry, with ripe berry, fruit, and spice flavors, and on the soft side. Strives to combine the freshness and lightness of a white with the weight of a red, and does a pretty good job of it. 1 Note

Sweet and chunky, like Hawaiian Punch. This is heavy and unctuous at this stage of evolution, with raspberry and ripe melon flavors. Round and no longer edgy. Wait for the 2007. 1 Note

Bona fide Best Buys aren’t as ubiquitous as they once were, so take note of this affordable Garnacha from northeast Spain. The wine features clean aromas of dried fruits, spice and licorice. The palate is just as proper, with sweet plum and berry flavors. It may be a tiny bit screechy and gritty, but we’re talking $9 here, so get on board. 1 Note

Deceptively light in color, this wine nevertheless packs a wallop, with a hefty 14.5% alcohol. The delicate—almost Burgundian—cherries start off buried by oak and alcohol, but after some airing the flavors come together in a pleasant mélange of Bing cherries, maple syrup and caramel, accented on the finish by a touch of black pepper. Best Buy. 1 Note

Clean, fresh and layered up front, with peach, cherry and nectarine flavors and then apricot on the finish. The feel is good throughout, with no excess weight or sweetness. An uncomplicated, no-frills rosé, which is what Navarra and SeñorÃa de Sarria do best. 1 Note
