The 33% Semillion shows strongly in this Bordeaux-style blend, with the rest Sauvignon Blanc. Toasted Marcona almonds, preserved lemons, dried limes, iodine and walnut oil greet the nose. The nut-oil…
Now officially labeled from the newly named Malibu Coast appellation, this bottling shows lots of potential for the region. Aromas of lush lemonade, crushed vanilla, browned butter, honeysuckle and h…
Mineral, mulberry, dried herb and black-fruit aromas lead to layered dark-fruit flavors that show intensity as well as exceptional balance. This has a delicious factor that is impossible to ignore.
A big, rich, full-bodied wine, flashy and dramatic. Floods the mouth with cherry-berry flavors, yet somehow feels light and elegant despite the weight and tannins, which is a kind of magic. You'll fi…
This is an amazingly rich Cabernet, packed with classic Napa blackberry, blueberry and dark chocolate flavors. It's opulent even by California standards, and is a little sweet. With firm, pronounced…
Eroica has a proven ability to age; in fact it needs at least a half decade in the cellar to show its real strengths. Tight and packed with primary fruit flavors of lime and peach, this beautifully p…
This is a Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend from Calistoga. The wine is made in the Coup de Foudre style, which is soft, sensual and immediately attractive. Shows blueberry, black cherry and dark choco…
Great price for a sparkling wine this refined, and the fact that it's a rosé makes it an even better deal. It's rich in strawberry, orange and lime flavors, with that savory yeastiness that marks the…
Ripe fruit, in the form of raspberries, cherries and figs, characterizes this luscious Pinot. But it has much more going for it than that. The tannins are rich and complex, the finish is dry and spic…
A lush, smooth and frankly delicious Syrah that exhibits the only-in-California style. Fruit doesn't get much riper than this bottle of blueberries and chocolate. But with finely ground tannins and g…
The fruit comes from the cool climate Den Hoed vineyard. It was barrel fermented in neutral French oak Burgundy barrels, yielding a racy, razor-sharp, spicy, detailed, delicious wine. Lovely fruit is…
An interesting wine that grows more complex as it sits and warms in the glass. The vineyard long has been source to one of Ravenswood's best Zinfandels, and the 2007 was really great. This '08 is a t…
A gorgeous wine, dense with flavor. Smooth and plummy, it's loaded with thick streaks of licorice, chocolate, baking spices and coffee liqueur. Long and flowing, it just seduces from the first sip to…
High toned and grapy when first opened, this opens up nicely with decanting. Pretty raspberry and light cherry fruit are enhanced with aromas of fresh-cut tobacco and just-picked herbs. The length an…
This shows a darker shade than most young whites, almost a burnished gold. Soft and complex, with ripe, slightly confected fruit flavors, it's super smooth, with honeysuckle highlights around waxy st…
The Loner title seems to refer to an absence of oak, although it's not entirely unoaked. The wine spent time in what the winemaker calls “seasoned barriques” that lent no overt oak influence, but let…
A wonderful wine at a great price. This is complex and delicious in blackberry and black currant flavors, with a savory minerality on the finish. As it starts off with tough tannins, allow it to deca…
California Malbec by itself tends to be straightforward, which might be why the winemaker blended this one with a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The result is excellent, one of the best Malbec…
Give this polished young Pinot Noir some time in the cellar to come around. It's a seriously good wine, dry, tannic and medium-bodied, with a dense core of cherry and plum flavors. If you have to dri…
Så tørr og frisk i syren, det får virkelig smaksløkene til å løpe i vann. Smakene starter rolig, for så å øke mot slutten, og antyder modne hvite fersken, sommerhvite blomster og pikante krydder. Del…
Donum er på toppen av sitt Pinot Noir-spill. Dette er rett og slett vidunderlig, og tilbyr en rikdom av røde frukter, cola, krydder, mineraler og jordsmaker. Tanninene er behagelige, syren frisk og r…
Uimotståelig fra starten av, tilbyr denne velduftende vinen fristende aromaer av sitrus, stein og eksotiske tropiske frukter. Smaker av modne fersken, opplyst med livlig syre, holder den i perfekt ba…
Denne vinen er nydelig, med smaker av hasselnøtt, pære og moden grønt eple. Den er frisk, balansert og perfekt søtet. Blandes med vodka og ferske fruktjuicer, lager den også en utmerket cocktail.
En eksklusiv, rik Chardonnay med konsentrerte, intense smaker av Meyer-sitron, mineraler og kaprifol, men samtidig elegant med strømlinjeformet syrlighet. Eik gir den perfekte touchen av smørstekt br…
