Our blind tasting game—without the tasting! Can you identify a wine just by reading its tasting note? We post real Wine Spectator reviews. You use clues such as color, aromas, flavors and structure to figure out the grape, age and origin. Good luck!

Tasting Note:

Notes of wild forest berries, plum and licorice offer an alluring profile, held upright by a firm mineral spine in this creamy, polished version. Singed herbs, warm soil and sandalwood smoke linger on the bold finish, which is smoky and nicely salty.
