Ripe red to black plum blankets the senses. Aromatic accents of currants and lettuce become molasses and fennel on the palate. The ever-present element of toast turns to a slightly sweet and herby char on the finish.

Tasty Sauvignon, with grass, grapefruit and slate elements in nice balance. It’s crisp without being sharp, as too many are, and just slightly tangy on the tongue. An attractive wine with a spicy satisfying finish.

Dusty cocoa, cherry and faint menthol aromas agree with the simple palate of caramel and continued cherry. Strikes a fine balance between soft tannins and juicy acidity. —K.F.

Citrus, melon rind and a faintly smoky salinity appear on the nose and palate. The hints of toast, herbs and cinnamon extend to the medium-length finish. —K.F.

Golden in color, with a smooth mouthfeel and decent balance, this dishes up an interesting, mature mix of apple, hay spice and wood notes. It’s flavorful and shows surprising elegance.

Lovely aromas of starfruit, honey, herbs and oak transfer to the palate with a bit of heat. This is slightly viscous throughout, but the acidity keeps it from feeling too thick. —K.F.

Opens with light toast, citrus juice and peel. Thin lemon flavors and a hint of grass play on the finish. A bit of depth would go a long way with this simple, everyday pour. —K.F.
