A relative reserve in terms of flavor is the defining characteristic of this dry but rich, medium-bodied wine that blends Marsanne and Roussanne grapes. The aromas are like fresh-baked bread, while f…

Dobbes Family Estate 2012 Quailhurst Vineyard Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)

Andrew Rich 2005 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

89 poeng

En ung, saftig og bestemt Syrah som matcher sine bjørnebær- og bærlyngsmak mot en sterk røykaktig lakrisnotis. Syrene er fortsatt litt ubalanserte, men tid vil hjelpe med det. Ellers har den mye kraf…
