A definitive, whitepepper spice note runs through many, if not most Oregon Pinot Blancs. It's a positive marker, and this wine is a fine example. Winemaker Thibaud Mandet unhesitatingly calls this hi…

Initially this Rioja seems topped by gritty aromas of tire rubber and burnt leaves, but with airing it gets more earthy and presentable. Tight tannins and a firm structure are the greeting on the pal…

This first aged tawny release from Wine & Soul is a dry wine that feels older than 10 years—the average age of its blend. Fine and rich, it's a serious blend with flavors of spice, raisins and prunes.

Avoids the variety's opulent, often sweet side in favor of a leaner, drier, more elegant style. It has the weight and texture of a Sauvignon Blanc, yet offers rich but subtle tropical fruit, white fl…

There are few rosé Cavas out there that register this high on the quality meter. This elegant number opens with aromas of wood smoke, citrus and raspberry, while the palate feels lithe and silky, wit…

Dark and impenetrable with bold oak nuances, sweet vanilla extract and layers of Indian spice, this is a rich and dense wine that should be consumed with succulent cuts of meat. The tannins are tight…

This is a dark wine, perhaps more elegant than powerful. The currant fruit flavors drive through with prominent acidity, trailing tight tannins and smoky wood. More weight would have been welcome.

A powerhouse of rich Merlot, big, ripe, with black plums, sweet figs and only light acidity. A wine for lovers of big Merlots, this rolls generously around the mouth. Because of this immediate richne…

This wine continues the improvements at this classed growth chateau at the far southern end of the Margaux appellation. It is firmly structured, but the fruit is rich, showing juiciness from ripe, bl…

This is a great success. Youthful tannins exude power and vitality, combining with great fruit concentration, the elements coming together with sweet chocolate and cocoa as added richness. A tasty wi…
