About Professional Ratings

These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.

About the Wine
Chardonnay: A White Wine originally cultivated in Burgundy, France, although Chardonnays are now produced all over the world. Flavors range from tropical fruits, apples, pears, and peaches to butter, oak, mineral, and vanilla.
Merlot: A Red Wine originally cultivated in Bordeaux, France, although Merlots are now produced all over the world. Merlot is similar in flavor to Cabernet Sauvignon--flavors of berry, currant, plum, vanilla, oak, and rose, yet without the hard edges of tannin and acid.
Shiraz/Syrah: A Red Wine originally cultivated in France�s Rhone region, although it is now produced worldwide. Australia is one of the major producers of Shiraz due to the perfect climate. Syrahs and Shirazes tend to be very herbal and spicy, making them perfect food wines.
Zinfandel: A mysterious Red Wine that mutated from indigenous Croatian grape varietals. It�s cousin is the Italian Primitivo. It has proven to be a great wine in California. Zinfandels tend to very fruity, with jammy flavors of berries, cherries, licorice, candy, and spice.
Pinot Noir: Another one of the great wines originally from Burgundy, France. Pinot is famous for its difficulty in production. It�s hard to grow, and hard to make wine out of. However, when it�s done right, Pinot is an amazing wine. It is very soft across the palate--the exact opposite of Cabernet. Flavorwise, Pinot tends to have some fruit like cherry, raisin, strawberry, but also very intriguing spice and floral flavors, as well as savory flavors such as tomato, olive, mushroom, and tea.
Cabernet Sauvignon: The "King of Wines", hailing from Bordeaux, France. Cabernets are B I G wines, with full body, firm tannins, and huge flavor. These are the best aging wines, and hold up to the most rich of meals. Flavors in Cabernet tend to be of currants, blackberries, black cherry, spice, oak, vanilla, leather, and ginger.
