1 | Wine | Red Rhone Blend, Australia, $10 to $20

"Deep red. Aromas of red fruits, rose, lavender and cracked pepper, with a smoky overtone. Tangy redcurrant and raspberry flavors show very good clarity and pick up a subtle floral pastille quality with air, along with a touch of botanical herbs. Closes with good energy and cut and a note of tangy berry."

"A deep garnet-purple color and notes of raspberry preserves, blackberries and black plums with hints of baking spices, violets and star anise. Medium to full-bodied, it is generously fruited in the mouth with medium-high acid, a medium level of velvety tannins and a long finish."

"Layered and supple - like spiced red and black berry fruits, drizzled with chocolate. Finishing with rustic yet velvet tannins."

"This is supple and inviting, polished and expressive, with cherry, cinnamon, raspberry and roasted meat flavors, which linger on the long finish."

"Torbreck’s 2011 Cuvee Juveniles presents a medium garnet-purple color and vibrant aromas of raspberry preserves, kirsch, black and white pepper and smoked bacon with just a hint of damp loam. Full-bodied with plenty of juicy red berry preserve flavors, it has a medium level of silky tannins, refreshing acid acidity and a long peppery finish. Delicious now, it should keep to 2016+."

"Aromas of blackberry conserve and blueberry pie with hints of warm plums and baking spices. Medium-full bodied with crisp acid as well as some grainy tannins, it finishes with lingering warm berry notes."
