Price $33

Named for the winemaker’s youngest daughter, this ripe and sweet selection boasts intense oak-driven aromas of butter and creamy vanilla that mingle well with the honeydew, pear and peach notes. Thankfully, there’s good cut to the round mouthfeel, as zesty orange-flavored acidity keeps the finish fresh and long. Drink now–2014. — L.B. (5/1/2012)

A full-flavored and ripe selection, with decadent scents of sweet spice, whole vanilla bean and peanut skin that give depth to the ripe pear and melon fruit.

Vins d'Orrance 2008 Cuvée Ameena Syrah (Western Cape)

Price $39

The 14 months spent in oak lend this wine an earthy, sweet-spice-driven character that infuses the red cherry and currant aromas and flavors. The wood also contributes to the lush mouthfeel and smoky finish. But although it’s oaky, it’s not overwhelming, and the wine ultimately comes across as balanced and clean. — L.B. (5/1/2013)
