This is a wine at the end of its drinkable window. The nose is slight caramel and cardboard. Still balanced but with a cloying tannic finish. It is barely passable and totally forgettable. Being sold wholesale at $3 a bottle, I would cook with it at best.

Very lightly floral, citrus but totally drinkable for one glass with a decent balance, not sure I would go for a second glass. Very little varietal character, fairly anonymous and at $13 pushing being overpriced.

Pure grassy and grapefruit flavors, very lean and crisp, with some skin tannin. The nose is more promising than the mouth, which is far lighter than you would expect. For $11 it is a decent but not perfect value. Not sure how this one will age, it may improve and get some body.

Classic minty slightly cherry nose, this is a really good value Chianti. It did need some air to blossom as initially it had a hint of rustic character. Would buy for near 1-2year term.

Easy summer stuff, color is light straw with a touch of bronze. Crisp and fresh, light in body, moderate alcohol, this wine is not overpowering distinct but quite drinkable as an everyday wine and at $10 is is a value.

This wine was bitter for me. The nose was attractive with fresh apple notes but in the mouth was so bitter.

Lovely grapefruit, green pepper, almost cat pee flavors. Great balance and linger. Lighter style but attractive because it is lean. Around $15 is a value.

This has a bit more substance than the Glazebrook, quite similar in many ways such as the aromatics which are catty and green pepper, but a touch of residual sugar and more weight. Needs food to shine.

Crisp balanced and fresh, an SB with lots of finesse. I like last month and still do this month.

I was hoping this would be a contender for a summer rose because the package was so lovely. Nice bottle and a vinolock closure. It was good, a little lean and tannic with modest freshness and balance but unfortunately for the same price point or less I have seen much nicer wines with more fruit and cleaner structure and finish. Also slightly less pricey. One of those, Acquiesce, is equally a lovely package and a much better wine.

Buttery rhubarb flavors with a dose of black pepper, a very light red. Tannic and bitter well into the finish. Pass

Very developed red, some oak and smoke, bit of spice but way too much bitter tannin. Not distinct as a Dolcetto this would be an bring down any meal

Dark enough color but aromatically non-discript. Heavy flesh with lots of tannin and a course finish. One glass would be too much.
