Composed on the nose, this has a berry aroma and a controlled herbal-olive scent. It feels solid and round, with berry and herb flavors. The finish shows a hint of oak and chocolate.

The cola and blackberry aromas are earthy and meaty. It feels snappy and a bit shrill due to forced acidity, while the flavors of black fruit and cocoa are standard. Not complex or elevated, but it’s well made for the price.

Light and reserved on the nose, with a hint of green apple and minerality but that’s it. Feels citrusy and tangy, with lean, fresh flavors of lemon-lime and lettuce. Mild citric acidity keeps things lively on the finish.

Dark in color, this delivers black fruit aromas along with a toasty note. While it’s slightly hollow in the middle, it’s wide around the edges, tasting of mossy blackberry and herb. The finish is toasty, big and grabby.

Neutral up front except for some pine and minerality. Feels grippy but highly regular, with apple cider and stalky white-fruit flavors. Resiny and mildly bitter on the finish.

Floral and fruity on the nose, this turns wiry and racy in the mouth. It doesn’t have a lot of body or weight, offering angular, lean berry and plum flavors, with a tight, peppery, acidic finish.

Dark in color, this wine has an oaky and earthy nose, with a compost streak. It feels full and stocky, and it tastes of resiny oak and dry berry fruits. It finishes with a citrus-like juiciness.
