A Sonoma red that gains interest from complexity

A complex, richly tannic Barolo

An excellent year for whites, while the reds fall into two camps: charming and approachable, or serious, concentrated wines for aging

A spicy, floral Portuguese red with a dense finish

A smoky German Riesling offering apple and pear flavors

A bold, frankly fruited Bandol red with drive and range

A fresh, tangy, peppery New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc
