This wine colors up a pale golden green. The nose is quite fragrant, with aromas of lemon, lime, grapefruit, flowers, and minerals. The minerality shows prominently on the palate as well, along with very ripe fruit. The lengthy finish brings all that citrus back around, paired with a clean salinity. I paired it with a chicken salad sandwich and it was delicious. — 5 days ago

This wine has a faint yellow tint in the glass. It gives up intense herbal aromas, very grassy. The palate has a fresh acidity and is loaded with grapefruit and gooseberry, heavy on the citrus. The grassy, herbal feel carries on in the lengthy finish. Pair it easily with any sort of seafood, especially something fried. — 12 days ago

This wine is dark in color. The nose is complex, offering blackberry and blueberry fruit in addition to anise, black pepper, and herbal notes. The palate is savory, with earth, tar, and spice dominating the flavor package. Tannic grip is easy to handle, yet workman enough to do a job on a rib eye steak. The finish is medium long, and the savory aspect lingers. — 17 days ago

This wine is a dark purple in the glass. Its nose is amazing and complex. Blackberry and blueberry aromas meet with anise, tar, tobacco, earth and vanilla. The palate is deep with dark fruit and oak spice, while the tannic structure is firm. I made a killer tomato sauce with this wine. It goes to show that you should use the best available wine for cooking. — 23 days ago

9.2

This wine is fairly dark colored and smells of blackberry fruit and tar. It’s not a very complex nose. The palate brings similar earth tones, very bold and dark, with none of the oak spice that generally finds its way into a red wine. The tannins are rather soft, but there is enough there to make it a decent pairing with a steak. If you have never tasted an unoaked red wine, it’s worth a $20 bill with some change back. — 9 days ago

This wine is a medium garnet in color. The somewhat muted nose offers aromas of jammy blackberries, a bit of earth, some black pepper and anise. The palate is loaded with dark fruit and cherry, with very fine tannins. It’s a smooth sip. It’s also a fresh sip, as the light touch of oak lets the grapes speak for themselves. — 13 days ago

This wine pours up in a pretty salmon color, with bubbles galore. The foam settles quickly, leaving a frizzante beverage. The nose has strawberries, a touch of earth, and a toasty element. In the mouth, it’s fairly rich and creamy, aside from the decent acidity. It finishes long and tart, with a raspberry note as a memento.

9.0

This wine is pale yellow in the glass. The nose has lots of lemon, lime, and tropical aromas held together with minerals and a touch of salinity. The flavor package disappoints. Rather than bright, zingy fruit, we get a rather dull, savory palate. The taste of apricots does come through and the finish leaves traces of hazelnut. It is an odd wine, but not one that is completely off-putting. It pairs nicely with a plate of beans, but there are probably better choices. — 10 days ago

9.5

This wine is very dark in the glass. Its nose is fairly complex, with notes of cassis, blackberry, plum, clove, and anise. The palate delivers a rich display of the fruit, plus a savory, earthy aspect. The tannins are fine and there is a fresh acidity. This is a great wine to pair with a steak or pork loin. — 15 days ago

9.4

This wine has a rich, golden color to it. The nose features apricot, lemon, grapefruit aromas, laced with plenty of minerals and a savory salinity. The fruit comes on so strongly that it hits my taste buds as almost sweet. The acidity is fresh and vigorous. On the long finish, that sweet aspect is just noticeable. Pair this wine with shrimp and grits.
