Rustic and sweet on the finish, with jellied blackberry, cherry, licorice, cola and Asian spice flavors. Gains a point or two for its smooth, rich tannins. Drink now.

From Steele, although it’s hard to tell why they don’t say so on the label. It’s one of those country-style wines you either like or don’t, extremely soft, semisweet and simple, and full of superripe fruit, with a dollop of new French oak.

Somewhere in all the sugar there is a crisp, subtlely fruity Roussanne, with citrus, pear and wildflower flavors. But the sweetness buries everything else.

Reduced and sulfury on the nose to one reviewer, while the others, who liked it more, found stewed fruit and a bristly, tart mouthfeel.
