The aroma is a perfect blend of fresh-squeezed Indian River citrus, Ruby Red grapefruit and Valencia oranges. Citrus dominates the palate, too, leading with the Ruby Red, and moving toward the sweeter Valencia oranges on the mid-palate. Throughout the palate there is a strawberry and sage background, adding sweetness and

Candied black raspberry and coffee grounds show on the nose. Black raspberry shows on the palate, too, with coffee, then red plum on the mid-palate. Tannins are medium-grained. The overall sense is juicy, rather than deep. Drink with a pork tenderloin sandwich. Recommended. 86 points. WHO: Coté Mas WHAT: Red Blend

A deep, inky mouthful of black, from blackberry to black licorice. Blackberry pie, smoked meat, and pepper aromas flow from the glass.

Cabernet Franc has a big effect on aroma, and here it piles tobacco leaf atop plums and black cherries. Elderberry, black cherry, and tar open on the palate, with coconut and vanilla coming through on the mid-palate, where they are joined by red fruit highlights. Tannins are gentle and mild,

A good French Pinot Noir for under $15 is a rare pleasure. Cherry, anise, and a touch of milk chocolate come through on the nose. Strawberry and redcurrant soar over star anise and milk chocolate, with a small strip of dried orange peel adding to the finish. Dusty tannins and

Tropical fruits explode upward from the glass, bananas, mangos, and pineapple. More fruit, a veritable Carmen Miranda topper full of fruit, dances across the palate. The finish is sweet bubble gum. This is not like any whiskey you've ever tried, an amazing collection of sweet tropical fruit. It is smooth,

Aromas of tropical fruit and orange blossoms flow upward from the glass. It opens with maple, then opens broadly into flavors of fresh apples. Honey crisp apples and baked apples roll across the palate before the alcohol heat makes its appearance. It ends with a touch of smoke. This is
