Minerals, acidity, and a hint of apples at the finish. A great palate cleanser with something fatty and/or spicy. We had it with sausage and grits, and it was perfect. There was a very small hint of effervescence, too.

This is one of the most well-balanced wines I've tasted in a while. Lush smoke and cherries are balanced with clean tannins.

lacking that robustness that new world cab's tend to have...meh. i'd rather have an aussie cab at a slightly lower price.

Just enough Syrah to make it a bit zippy, but balanced by a floral finish. Had it with a pork roast and it didn't overpower.

Good table wine for a weeknight meal. We actually had ours with grilled pork chops (yeah, I know), and it was a nice pairing. This is a very mellow cab. Don't expect it to punch you in the face like others.

Fun and summery, this pinot grigio is great for a hot evening outside. It actually tasted a little better once it had some time outside our fridge, so I'd recommend uncorking about 10 minutes before serving. Very citrusy, with a hint of muskmelon -- but not too sweet. This was a great deal from Wegman's.

A well-balanced brut that's easy on the wallet. I served this at New Year's and keep extra in the fridge for the unexpected guest, and it's always a hit. This is a yeasty but approachable sparkling wine from southern France.

Beautiful color! I've never had a "petite sirah" before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Straightforward berry aroma showed up the same way in the flavor. Make sure to decant a few minutes, and the tannins will calm down and mesh well with the spicy, somewhat yeasty finish. Nice deal.

The nose was straight up cherry and very inviting, along with the beautiful claret color. The wine was a lot more subtle than I expected of a New World wine...very mellow spices and leather. Finish was a bit flat, but overall a very understated Aussie wine.

Very musty, relaxed cab. While the nose is quite cherry-oriented, the flavor includes well-balanced tannins with a sweet tobacco. Had this with a perfectly cooked chuck roast, and it was just right!
