What a treat, with its gobs of juicy fruit, spicy mango and papaya flavors and the excellent spine of acidity that makes it drink crisp and clean. Exotically flamboyant, but manages to be dry and balanced.

A lovely drinking wine, with nicely modulated plummy, chocolate flavors wrapped in rich, sweet tannins. Dry and balanced, with not too much alcohol, it has style and class.

A young, jammy wine, with cherry Lifesaver-fruit aromas and flavors. A little one-dimensional and light. Has some bitterness in the finish but is pleasant enough.

A long name for a simple, but likeable, wine. Fully dry, with easy tannins. The flavors strike a nice balance between berries, stone fruits, coffee and dried herbs. Turns a bit hot on the finish. Drink now, with rich fare.

A Provençal-style wine, dark for a blush, and full-bodied. Super-fruity, with great bursts of raspberries, cherries, mocha and vanilla. There’s something fun about this delightfully friendly wine.

Soft in acids, fat and lush in fruit, and enjoyable. The tropical fruit, vanilla and smoky oak flavors are explosive but dry, and very spicy.

Good price for a wine this rich in fruit and balanced in alcohol and tannins. Offers lots of pleasure with the berry, cherry, mocha and oak flavors that are completely dry.
