A savory herbal tinge opens the stage for the 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva as notes of wild strawberry and floral underbrush fill out the bouquet. Lean and mean, yet balanced, this splashes across the palate with depths of tart cherry and blackberry as a saline mineral concentration adds form toward the close. Still tannic despite its late release, the 2020 leaves the senses reeling with youthful poise as nuances of exotic spice linger on. Have patience here, or if drinking today, give this a healthy decant.

Aromas of red flowers, chalk, minerals, blood orange juice and tangerine peel. Very fresh, with flavors of spices, cranberries and bright Bing cherries. Mouthwatering and light- to medium-bodied with a long, fresh finish. A good value. Drink now. Screw cap.

Fresh and lilting, with pretty cherry and cranberry flavors marked by toasty spice and orange peel accents that linger on the snappy finish. Drink now through 2034. 64,000 cases made.

"The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Armador comes from Padre Hurtado in Maipo. This is the final vintage from this vineyard. Aromas include blackberry, a touch of sour cherry and subtle notes of black tea and infusion. The palate is delicate, with restrained extraction and gentle fruit. It’s not concentrated, but rather smooth and fruit-forward."

The color of blackberry pie filling, this wine offers a bouquet of black cherry, cassis and clove. Opulent tannins provide a framework for cherry, blackberry, nutmeg, dark chocolate and coffee bean flavors with a hint of olive tapenade. The lengthy finish is marked with a note of caramel. An antidote to fresh, easy-drinking Monastrell, this is one to lay down and savor in a few years. Drink through 2031.

The impressive 2017 Elo is varietal, rich and powerful but polished and with a rustic elegance. It's a bit older, so it has some developed and tertiary aromas, and the tannins are mostly resolved. It has a chalky texture and a long finish.

This wine shows ultraripe fruit, with cola and sweet-oak spice wrapped in a plush texture and juicy finish. A simple, user-friendly weeknight glugger. ---CHRISTINA PICKARD

Strawberries, oranges and nutmeg on the nose, followed by a fresh, fruity and medium-bodied palate. Lots of juicy fruit. Drink now or hold.

95 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Aromas of currants and sweet tobacco with some lead pencil. Medium to full body with very fine tannins and a long, linear finish. Very fine, silky tannins. Pretty is the word. Direct and precise. Better in 2025 and onwards.

A round and juicy white with aromas of green pears and pastry spices. Medium-bodied with a silky texture and an attractive almond-powder note coming through. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

"Snappy, with plenty of ginger and glazed citrus notes to the dried cherry, plum and raspberry flavors. Features loads of chocolate and spice on the long, lush finish, with hints of white pepper. Drink now." —K.M.
