Total Wine. $17. Smooth. Light to medium. Holds well to food with Italian acidity. Fruity but not too sweet. Smell of cherries but entrance includes various other ripe berries. Finish is strong, dry, and holds smooth. Buy again. — 6 years ago

Polished. Berry aroma starts a bit hard at first, but don't hate, aerate. Just two hours allowed enough time for buffing and stride. Light, delicate, and well balanced acidity for this $20 price range. Surprising dark oaky finish was pleasant. — 9 years ago

Total Wine. $15. Apple and pear all the way through. Nice acidity, and nicely smooth. Medium bodied white burgundy with more nutty than oaky, and the dry finish is satisfying. — 6 years ago

Splendid. Nice minerality yields earthy flavors. Former reviewer was spot-on that it's 'jammy,' but not overly sweet. High acidic finish. Surpasses the rest at this price. — 9 years ago

Refreshing. A white Bordeaux sub $12 that's both smooth AND flavorful is uncommon. Near-clear appearance, fruity taste but quite dry, quick bitter finish keeps you wanting more. Complements mild assorted cheeses nicely, but it won't stand up well to BBQ or anything spicy. Nonetheless, enjoyable outdoors for its freshness. — 9 years ago

Total Wine. $10. Plum and black cherry forward. Smooth after first hour. Well balanced acidity, hints of molasses, and a decade long finish. Leaned on the boring side but solid overachiever at this price. — 6 years ago

Depth. Deep ruby color and massive fruit forward entrance of assorted berries, but surprisingly not overly sweet which was pleasing. This, coupled with the long dry oaky finish, made nice pairing with red meat. Better after decanted for an hour. Vineyard recommends storing but save the shelf space and enjoy her now. — 9 years ago

Campo Viejo

Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2011

Dark. Spicy and hard with high acidity. Finishes long and thick with remains of licorice and chocolate. Enjoyable but confused by the overwhelming 9.0+ ratings. — 10 years ago
