Moderately rich- and ripe-tasting, with concentrated dried raspberry flavors that show hints of sumac, followed by accents of dried tarragon on the finish.

Mint, cherry and tar flavors mark this fluid red, whose structure is lively and present without being overly assertive. Light-bodied and lingers on the finish.

— Bruce Sanderson

There's warmth to this red, in the guise of ripe cherry, berry, leather, menthol and tar flavors. This shows richness and a dense structure too, yet manages to stretch out nicely on the finish.

— Bruce Sanderson

A mix of macerated cherry, plum and balsamic notes of mint, wild thyme and eucalyptus highlight this balanced red, with a light viscosity and fine length.

— Bruce Sanderson

Bracingly crisp, with steely lime, lemon and fresh ginger flavors that build tension and vibrancy on a long finish.

— Tim Fish

Pure black cherry is at the core of this silky red, graced by notes of rose, spice and earth. This is delicate in a way, with a lilting finish that firms up.

Dark and winey, with a solidly built core of steeped black currant and fig compote flavors laced with tar and warm black licorice notes. Well-structured, with a typical Howell Mountain spine driving the finish, where echoes of tobacco and espresso crema linger amidst the fruit.

— James Molesworth

Polished, fruit-driven style, with creamed plum and warm cassis notes coated in hints of black licorice. Finish is carried by fan-friendly, vanilla-accented toast flavor.

A fragrant, creamy red, with baking spice and tea rose aromatics accenting the pureed raspberry and strawberry fruit flavors. This fresh version is medium-bodied, with fine-grained tannins firming the minerally finish.

— Alison Napjus

Can't-miss Chilean aromas of herbal black fruits and juniper are backed by cedary oak, a hint of eucalyptus, tobacco and earthy warmth. Sucking tannins dominate a gravelly palate that needs more time to soften. Flavors of charred oak, chocolate and herbal berry fruits see dryness prevail on a long and potent finish.

— Michael Schachner

This is a polished, balanced, fairly rich Pinot from Martinborough's largest winery. It starts out a touch reductive, showing mealy oak, but as it opens shows more plump red berry fruit, undergrowth and gentle spice characters. Tannins have a savory, sappy tug on the silky fruit in the mouth. There's an almost surprising freshness here and a good length to the finish.

— Christina Pickard

Earthy aromas recalling new leather, truffle, blue flowers and eucalyptus are just some of the scents you'll find on this savory red. Elegantly structured, the tightly knit yet weightless palate delivers ripe Marasca cherry, crushed mint and star anise before finishing on notes of black tea and white pepper. It's loaded with finesse and personality.

— Kerin O'Keefe

White pepper and sandalwood linger from nose to finish in this satiny, subtle expression of 100% Grenache sourced from 85-year-old vines in a single vineyard site. Despite 12 months maturation in new French oak, its blackberry and preserved strawberry flavors are pure and sonorous, edged by layers of chalk, ash and salty minerality as well as very fine, softly gripping tannins. Stunning.

— Anna Lee C. Iijima

Pomegranate seeds and raspberry form the nose on this wine. Ripe and juicy upfront, it is loaded with cherry and raspberry flavors, with good tannic grip before a pepper and raspberry finish. The acid is attractive.
