This youthful, small-batch wine released in the spring from one of Australia's most beloved rock star winemakers, Taras Ochota, is a big and unusual blend of everything from Pinot to Gamay to Gewürztraminer to Chardonnay. It's not about the varieties but the sum of its parts: an easy-drinking summer sipper that's vibrant cherry in color and bounces brightly and easily from the glass. It's silky, red fruited, fresh and downright yummy, finishing spicy and savory. Drink chilled with your favorite people. 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.
