2954429543ItalyThis organically farmed Cabernet Sauvignon shows a thin, compact ruby color and moderate aromas of cherry, rose and spice. The wine is clean and fresh, but it's not particularly long lasting or rich.8412VenetoPiavePizzolato 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Piave)Cabernet SauvignonPizzolato
2954529544GeorgiaAged in buried clay vessels in accordance with ancient Georgian winemaking techniques, then transferred to new oak, there's a core of bright cherry fruit, coffee grinds and vanilla on the nose and palate of this unique Saperavi. It's a good wine, but charred wood, jagged tannins and hints of barnyard tend to obscure all the lovely fruit.Satrapezo8440KakhetiAnna Lee C.

2954629545AustraliaVery floral, citrusy and perfumed upfront, retaining that lemony edge to help the retained carbon dioxide balance the inherent sweetness. Clean and refreshing on the finish.848Australia OtherSouth Eastern AustraliaJoe Czerwinski@JoeCzJacob's Creek 2010 Moscato (South Eastern Australia)MoscatoJacob's Creek
2954729546FranceThe aromas and flavors of this wine are not too intense, with soft suggestions of strawberry hull and ripe banana.

2954929548USSo much oak on this wine, it's like being inside a barrel.

2952129520ItalyThis informal red has a shy nose that eventually reveals whiffs of black-skinned fruit and a suggestion of cooking spice.

2952829527FranceThis wine is floral and spicy on the nose, but lacks the richness on the midpalate to fully support those ambitions. The result is a highly perfumed but modestly flavored wine with medium body and a dusty finish.

2952929528ArgentinaAromas of roasted but slightly weedy berry fruits, road tar and latex precede a raw shallow pulling palate. This Malbec tastes of salty and savory black plums, tomatoes and herbs.

2953029529SpainOff the bat, this smells a bit like fruit punch, although with time it stiffens.

2953129530FranceThis light-colored wine is attractively perfumed but with a grassy edge that suggests the fruit was underripe. Built for the short term, it will be ready from late 2017.8419BurgundyBourgogneRoger Voss@vossrogerPierre Gruber 2014 BourgognePinot NoirPierre Gruber

2953529534USThe volatiles are amped up here, providing distraction from the cherry and spice aromas.
