Rotgipfler is almost an exclusivity to Thermenregion. This bright, fruity wine is deliciously crisp with spice, pepper and pear flavors. It has a light lemon edge brought out by the refreshing acidit…

This is one of Lynmar's most expensive Chardonnays, of their six 2011s. It's also one of the most forward and oakiest. Your first impression is of sweet buttered toast, sprinkled with brown sugar and…

The warm 2005 vintage produced loads of wines with chewy or jammy fruit. But this Riserva shows a tight nose that is characterized by crisp berry aromas and light spice. There is intensity, but in no…

Made by Paso Robles-based Ranchero from old vine Carignan grown in Mendocino's Redwood Valley, this still-young rendition of this rough and tumble Old World grape is densely rich and textured with ar…

An oak-dominated style of Chardonnay with soft white fruit aromas and a chunky texture. The body is full yet still fresh for a 2007, and the flavors of creamy apple, lemon and woodspice are nice. Oak…

An unexpected touch of caramel butterscotch or candied fruit could indicate very mild oxidation although the jury is still out. Otherwise, the wine does a good job of presenting austere aromas of old…

Bone dry and complex, with terroir-infused mineral, citrus, pear and sweet green mint flavors. A streamlined, layered wine, although it's just a bit hot in alcohol.

Oaky aromas of baked apple and toasted wood are upfront on the nose of this wine, but are grounded by ample ripe peach, apple flesh and orange. The medium-weight palate is lushly textured and slightl…

Produced in clay amphoras from organically grown grapes, this is an almost honeyed wine even though it's dry. It is richly textured and ripe, with floral and bitter spice tones. Enjoy from 2017.

Named after the Portuguese word for the sommelier's tastevin, the wine is rich with juicy red fruits. It has a firm structure that emphasizes the wine's youth showing that it should develop. Densely…

At the time of tasting, the nose of this dry white was still quite closed, but its buoyant, almost tropical, expressions of mango, cantaloupe and stone fruit on the palate were already quite irresist…

Blended with 20% Sauvignon Blanc, this wine starts out somewhat aromatically brooding, with notes of melon and toast. It brings plenty of texture and richness, with a creamy feel and a warm finish.
