A juice bomb in the best sense, this wine bursts from the glass with aromas of fresh squeezed cherry juice and watermelon Jolly Rancher. There are some stalky, peppery, floral and licorice notes lingering at the back, too. The palate is an acid-lover's dream. While it may be overly puckering for some, like biting into a lemon, the freshness is welcome, particularly balanced with spicy, textured tannins. It's a fun-loving barbecue wine for drinking slightly chilled. Christina Pickard

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
