Ren Syrah, dette er den mest begrensede av Kamiakin-vinene (når det gjelder produksjon), men på mange måter showets stjerne. Pepret, livlig og konsentrert, den er fullpakket med blåbær, kirsebær og s…
Fast, tanninrik, jordaktig og innpakket tett. Det er en stor, tøff vin, eikepreget, jordaktig og viser likørs_barrel_smaksnoter. Smakt tre ganger over en fire måneders periode, forblir den ganske str…
Not just old vines, but ancient vines, this is a juicy, concentrated and ripe wine. It is sufficiently rich and textured to need some aging to bring out the full fruits even more. Drink from 2014.
Elysium is crafted from Black Muscat grapes grown in the Central Valley near Madera and it tastes of raspberry jam and citrus peel, thick in texture but holding on to enough acidity to balance itself…
Cold-fermented in stainless steel after being harvested at 31.4 degrees Brix, this Late-Harvest Riesling is ripe in apple and honey, with a sustained level of rich earth notes from the 134 g/L residu…
This inaugural barrel-fermented white blend is gold in color and toasty on the nose, with baked apple, a pinch of sweat and heavy raw-oak aromas. A resiny mouthfeel leads to a savory palate with more…
Earthy berry and gritty toast and leather aromas form a strong, masculine bouquet. This feels flush but also jagged due to hard tannins. Flavors of blackberry, fine coffee, mint and oak lead to a spi…
A very nice wine, showcasing the Napa style of lush, plush opulence. It's softly tannic, with ripe blackberry, raspberry, mocha and cedar flavors. Not an ager—drink by 2015.
Just beginning to show its age, this is a wine that was once beautifully sweet. Now, it is the acidity that is coming through, emphasizing orange juice rather than honey. It's now become a food wine,…
Gournier's rosé is a full-bodied, richly textured wine, filled with cherry-berry fruit and accented by hints of crushed stone on both the aromatic nose and lengthy finish. Drink up.
The grape is Scheurebe, grown in Germany and Austria, a variety that lends itself to dessert wines. The wine is lush, with honey, apricot, tangerine and vanilla flavors. It's a little soft for such s…
The local cave cooperative has turned out a full-bodied, supple Vacqueyras under this label, plump with black cherry and plum fruit. It's an easy-drinking wine, with a spicy, leathery finish. Drink n…
About 5% Viognier is blended into this spicy, round and fruity Pinot Gris. Complex and lively flavors suggest lemon and orange peel, melon, pear, and a hint of vanilla.
This dessert wine from southern Italy offers a fragrance of apricot, walnut and smoke. The palate delivers ripe but restrained apricot and honey with hints of walnut while the fresh acidity leaves th…
Smoky, toasty and dark on the nose, this value-priced Rioja delivers plenty for the money. On the palate, it is smooth and ripe, with integrated tannins and proper acidity. Flavors of earth, loamy be…
Herbal and fresh, but balanced by bright cherry fruit, this is a supple, medium-bodied wine that would go great with grilled steaks or burgers, The slightly dusty finish has just the right astringenc…
A $20 Châteauneuf-du-Pape? Yup, and it's pretty darn good, too. Thyme and clove notes accent the black cherry fruit, and meaty, savory flavors emerge on the palate. It's appropriately full bodied and…
Mostly neutral aromas include a note of peach and citrus, and a hint of butterscotch. The body is full and the textue is good, while the overall balance is on the money. Creamy flavors of vanilla, co…
A good value in rosé, this Tavel is medium bodied yet remains bright and juicy in style. Raspberry and cherry fruit sets the mouth watering, then lingers harmoniously on the finish. Should drink well…
Crushed chalk and wax notes add a striking minerality to this delicately framed, semisweet Riesling. A juicy wine, it offers an abundance of ripe stone-fruit and citrus flavors, with an earthen, waxy…
Dry and smoothly tannic, this wine is packed with complex blackberry-pie, currant, anise, herb and cedar flavors. This is nearly as good as the winery's more costly Walking Tree Vineyard Block Collec…
Give this Pinot Noir a couple of years to knit together. Right now it's a little acidic, and it offers flavors of Life Savers candy, raspberry and cherry. The mouthfeel is velvety smooth.
This is a nice Bordeaux-style blend with pretty cherry and currant fruit and some cedar shadings, but lack the complexity of others in its style. It's straight forward, polite and restrained.
This is complex and compelling. A spicy, minty, thyme-like character comes out in the aroma and continues in the flavor, most likely from some new barrels used in aging the wine. It's an attractive c…
