An easygoing, refreshing Sauvignon Blanc with minimal fanfare and a solid, herbal and grassy character. Overall, good fruit flavors and a clean finish. Pair with seafood or spicy curries for an extra kick.  — S.K.  (8/1/2008)

A full, integrated nose of tobacco, cedar and pepper give this Merlot from Moldova a sultry start. On the palate a nice integration of fruit and spice, albeit a touch oaky and sweet. A bit scrappy overall, but likeable and fun.  — S.K.  (5/1/2009)

Taking Root 2006 Bastardo-Merlot Red (Cahul)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $8
A fresh, slightly green nose is followed by angular red berry and spice flavors in this Merlot. The wine has good structure but is a touch acidic and tart—pair it with richer, rounded dishes to soften it out.  — S.K.  (5/1/2009)
