Tony Rynders, now free of his lawsuit with a former employer, is back making a white pinot noir under a different label. Not surprisingly, it’s a stunner. Unusual but not unique, a white pinot noir simply quickly removes the juice from the skin to strip the pinot noir of its more common red color. The texture is the same, but this wine has loads of aromas, balance and bright fruit character.

Review: light and juicy wines to buy for springExtremely easy to drink, this. Texturally quite light, it has a little oak on the nose and a creamy, buttery texture, finishing with a succulent red-fruit finish. Enjoy a glass before supper and take it with you into the meal.

Lustrous ruby. A little sour and reductive on the nose. Ripe supple palate, if not hugely expressive. A little simple for the category.

25 of the Best Red Blends for 2020The label looks like a Lichtenstein on weed after a Quentin Tarrantino film and the liquid doesn’t smell or taste like the grapes that made the wine. It has a whopping high alcohol content, and whatever subtleties the wine had have been eaten by the heat. But it has a sweet fruit core and good acidity, so, with its cool bro label, it’s a fun gift wine or a bottle to drink with goopy BBQ. But hydrate, cuz yes, that says 15.1 percent alcohol.

25 of the Best Red Blends for 2020There are nine, NINE grape varieties in this wine. NINE! And somehow it works. Tons of this wine is made, and there are no real discerning characteristics, other than some dark-fruit notes, silky tannins, and a palate you want to chew on. Which is great! Because this is a big ol’ sloppy, juicy burger bottle. This bottle wants to get messy with you and wash it all down. And it’s under $15. Buy a case, fire up the grill, and get on that group text chain. It’s time for a cookout.

The 25 Best Rosé Wines of 2020 - #12An outlier in many respects, this Sonoma rosé is made from Italian variety Sangiovese, which most will know as the red grape used in Chianti. This bottle offers more than just novel appeal, though. It smells like bubblegum and whiter pepper, and the palate is lean with racy acidity. You’ll need to order directly from the winery, but this unicorn is worth the hunt.

The 25 Best Rosé Wines of 2020 - #15This Oregon Pinot Noir pours a delightful cotton-candy hue. The nose is floral, while the palate offers concentrated fruit (mainly sour cherries) and light tannins. Avoid serving too cold or you’ll miss out on its interesting textural character.

The 25 Best Rosé Wines of 2020 - #19This Oregon rosé smells like a breakfast bowl, with aromas of strawberries, honeydew melon, and yogurt. The palate has a slightly creamy texture, but a fragrant mint note helps cut through the richness. No food needed here; this is a wine to savor on its own.

The 25 Best Rosé Wines of 2020 - #20 A 100 percent Pinot Noir from California’s Santa Maria Valley, this is a lively, fruit-forward rosé. Generous acidity lifts its ripe watermelon and plum core, while hints of white pepper add a dash of nuance.

La Crema is an artisanal winery that focuses exclusively on cool-climate appellations. That means grapes spend more time on the vine allowing for a deeper, more dramatic spectrum of flavours and aromas to develop. And that creates decidedly rich and layered wines like this one. Presenting multi-layered flavours of red, blue and black berry fruit, the finish is smooth, warm and accented with exotic spice. Will appeal to most pinot lovers but is generally seen as a good starting point for many.
