Nutty, peachy aromas; similar flavors, plus flashes of white pepper, come through on the palate. Wide and soft but not full, easy but not profound. Imported by Foster’s Wine Estates Americas. 1 Note

A taut, wound-up wine, and dry on the palate. Yellow stone fruit is dressed in heavy helpings of butter, caramel and toast. Our rating is conservative, perhaps, if you like your wines well wooded. 1 Note

Unlike some other vintages of this wine, which have seemed a bit hard, this effort is full-bodied and lush, albeit a bit unstructured. The result is a softly tannic mouthful of cola, black currant and dried-spice flavors that would be a fine companion to tonight’s grilled steak. Good now. 1 Note

A lean, toasty style that pairs dried spices—cinnamon and ginger—with zesty citrus fruits. The toast and vanilla battle green and lime flavors from the nose all the way through the finish. 1 Note

Big butterscotch—aromas and flavors—come close to drowning out some of the finer nuances of this wine, which include green apples, citrus fruits and dried spices. Spicy oak and tart lemons linger on the finish. 1 Note

Lemony and zingy are buzzwords for this bouquet—expect the same citrusy tang on the palate as well. Mouthfeel, given the high acidity and citrusy notes, is best described as clean. Finish is medium-length, with apple and oak flavors, and acid that gives the back end another dash of unwelcome tartness. 1 Note

Here’s one of the bigger Chards of the year. Explodes with aromas of butterscotch, caramel, vanilla, and, oh yes, tropical fruits. The flavors are mouth-filling and rich, like a sweet, custardy, creamy, tangerine-flavored dessert, yet it’s dry. However, it loses a few points for being too big and aggressive without the necessary balance. It’s awkward. 1 Note

Smoke and wood set off approachable yellow fruit on the palate, both of which follow through to the finish. Smoke, biscuit and white pepper aromas don’t make it to the palate, but were nice while they lasted. 1 Note

Earthier, oakier notes prevail in this wine, with sour plums buried deep beneath. Aromas are of tea, bramble and plum. A straightforward wine, not too nuanced. Imported by Southcorp Wines. 1 Note

This is a medium-bodied wine, with not a lot of stuffing but some interesting flavors. Smolders with butterscotch, cinammon and woodsmoke on the nose, against a backdrop of Golden Delicious apples. Palate flavors are similar, but not quite as pronounced—dried spices, honey, peach skin. Tasted twice. 1 Note
