Vinanmeldelser

Aromaer av mørk frukt, anis, røyk og tørkede urter utvikler seg til smaker av steinfrukter (plommer, kirsebær) i munnen, med en sterk undertone av granateple. Denne tykke, nesten sirupsaktige vinen e…

Virker veldig eikepreget, med påtrengende aromaer av vanilje, brent lukt og pepper, men frukten klarer å støtte opp om det. Faktisk er de underliggende smakene rike og vakre. Den viser Cabernet sine…

Brødaktige, gjæraktige eple- og pæredufter kommer med gressete hint og noter av grønne urter. Som en brut nature er det ikke overraskende at denne treffer med rettfram syrlighet og friskhet. Smaker a…

Denne vinen er fortsatt ung, veldig frisk med sin skarpe syrlighet og smaker av sitron og grapefrukt. Den har potensial til å lagres godt, med en underliggende spenning mellom frukt og mineraltekstur…

Denne sent utgitte vinen fra en Livermore-aktør dufter krydret og eksotisk fruktig, med urtete/menthol- og sigarkasseakenter. På ganen er den rik, generøs, dyp og bredteksturert, fyldig i følelsen og…

Dette er Yohan Lardys toppvin, produsert fra vinstokker plantet i 1903. Mørk og tett selv om den er preget av syrlighet, er vinen fast og konsentrert. Den blander en floral karakter med mineralitet o…

Merlot (44 %) tar ledelsen i denne vinen, etterfulgt av Cabernet Franc (29 %) og Cabernet Sauvignon (18 %), med resten av blandingen bestående av Petit Verdot og Malbec. Lokker med aromaer av svart p…

Great density here, with firm tannins and big fruit flavors, very generous and opulent, while also structured. The whole wine is suffused with black plum sweetness. It is also ageworthy.

A rich, lusty and satisfying Zinfandel, showing classic varietal flavors of ripe, wild red berries, tobacco, soy sauce, bacon and white pepper. Alcohol is notable in the slight heat and glyceriny swe…

Frank Family, far better known for Cabernet Sauvignon, joins the sparkling wine sweepstakes with this drily crisp, Champagne-like brut. It has subtle flavors of raspberries, strawberries, limes and b…

Fermented in open granite lagars, this rich wine with its violet aromas is generous and has considerable power. It comes from a great vintage and shows that in its dark fruits and still-firm tannins.…

Touriga Nacional is the principal component of this rich blend from the lower Douro vineyards of Valle da Fonte. It is a concentrated wine with black plum and spice flavors. They are underlined by th…

Produced from selected parcels of fruit in top vintages, this is the flagship wine from this Jorgensen family estate. Aragonez and Syrah dominate this ripe still-young wine. It is rich and concentrat…

This is an impressive Touriga Nacional from its home region. Aged for 12 months in wood, it has mint and eucalyptus flavors to add to the dark tannic fruit. Blackberries and juicy acidity are combine…

This beloved annual bottling by Randall Grahm blends 39% Mourvèdre, 33% Grenache, 26% Syrah and 2% Cinsaut to create a very savory, Old World-style expression, with aromas of roasted game, pencil sha…

A mineral texture gives this ripe wine an edge while its full, red berry fruit offers some solid tannins and concentration. It's smoky and full-bodied and will be ready to drink from 2019.

Modern and focused, but generous and intense at the same time, Ceppate (90% Cabernet Sauvignon with 10% Merlot) is a beautifully shaped wine with equal parts fruit and spice. It is soft and slightly…

This is a beautiful wine to look at for the coppery-gold color and the fierce explosion of fine bubbles. Smells luscious, with subtle raspberry, lime, bread and lees aromas. This is the best rosé Han…

Tons of raspberry, vanilla and licorice, backed by spice, coffee and all sorts of size and depth. The complexity is excellent, but so is the straightforward attitude it shows. Given time, it unfolds…

Intense and earthy aromas of perfectly ripe berries, chocolate and a little natural funk in the form of mushroom. The highlight of this beauty is the cushy, plummy mouth, which is complex, cool and u…

Wild roses and forest undergrowth wrap their persistent tendrils around ripe cherries and just a hint of toast on the nose of this complex and seductive offering. Finishes with enough structure to su…

This lovely wine has classic green-apple and lime aromas that are fully developed, with a nice backdrop of yeast and dough. In the mouth, it’s very rich. At eight years, the acids and tannins have mo…

Oh yeah! This is the real deal; with a toasty, elegant, wonderfully yeasty complexity. This gives you everything you hope for in a top-drawer Champagne: creaminess, texture, layers of toast, nuts and…

Earth and cola notes accent a true Burgundian nose of rustic raspberry and herbs. This is a stylish, reserved wine—one that sits nicely on the palate and glides down smooth while still holding its ca…
