There's a burly amount of black fruit and black tea in this estate wine, concentrated and coiled in a tight tannic structure. The fruit tends toward ripe black cherry and even blackberry, the texture…
A new label for MacMurray Ranch, this Pinot Gris is stony in fresh nectarine, pear and mango, wrapped in a creamy texture that develops fleshy flavors of fig in the glass. The fruit is sourced from b…
Chalky earth, black pepper and clove comprise the nose on this wine, which gets a boost from 10% Merlot. The flavors are spicy and complex, with cedar, tea and a tiny bit of varietally distinct green…
Complex and grippy, it offers classic layers of spicy black pepper, clove and red cherry and plum fruit. Not overpowering on the palate or in price, it will pair with flair.
Yealands is based in the Awatere Valley, a subregion of Marlborough that offers generally cooler, later ripening than the main (Wairau) valley. This is a fresh, sappy, medium-bodied Pinot Noir, featu…
With its hint of acidity along with the textured fruit, this is a fruity wine that is balanced between richness and crispness. It has a light tannic structure that gives the wine its shape and abilit…
Extremely fresh on the nose with a touch of honeysuckle and hint of passionfruit, this bottling also offers fruity lime-blossom scents. There is grip and balance to the sip, with lime skins, grass, m…
Sweaty and pungent, this is an aggressively aromatic wine with ample intensity. Fresh greens and passion fruit flavors finish dry, even a bit austere, without excessive weight or ripeness. Drink now.
Smoothness and subtlety come with a texture just rich enough to be interesting, without damping down the acidity that makes this light-bodied wine refreshing. It offers flavors of crisp green apple a…
The 2008 vintage produced some truly outstanding red wines in Washington, if your palate runs to higher acid, bright fruit styles. This is a perfect example; it's loaded with raspberries, strawberrie…
Full, ripe wine, with flavors of peach, melon and with an intriguing nutty edge. Its texture is oily, with spice. There is a fresh, green aftertaste. Screwcap.
A Washington Pinot Gris that has some of the flesh and texture of a fine Oregon version, yet brings the spice and verve of bright Washington fruit into play. Pear, apple, acacia, orange candy, even a…
There is weight here, and some extraction. The wine feels fleshy, full of juicy ripe green and white fruits. There is pepper, spice and the ripest of green plums. A definite food wine. Screwcap.
Interesting that they call it Shiraz instead of Syrah. Either way, it's a very dry, tannic and fairly complex wine, rich in blackberry, currant, tobacco and pepper flavors. Drink this robust, astring…
Here's a ripe, chewy expression of Vino Nobile that opens with aromas of black cherry, dark fruit and even a touch of strawberry. The jammy fruit element is supported by wood tones that add structure…
Mainly Chardonnay, with a drop of Pinot Noir, this dry bubbly has intricate flavors of lemons, limes, tangerines and honey, with a rich yeastiness. It's a little scoury in texture, but pretty good fo…
A bistro style wine to drink with grilled meats and game birds. It's juicy and crisp, with flavors of cherries, licorice and spices, wrapped into a creamy texture. Really rocks.
Not a supercharged heavyweight even at 15% abv, instead this is an elegant, complex rendition of Châteauneuf-du-Pape that's ready to drink now–2015. From its aromas of leather and dried flowers to th…
Impressive for a $12 Old Vine Zin, this wine is spicy and full of pepper, much more savory than sweet with plenty of texture midpalate and decent length. Definitely full-bodied, it'll stand up to a p…
Structured wine with a severe edge from the dry, concentrated tannins. It's serious, stalky fruit layered with a more juicy element and tight acidity. The wine does need aging to soften its austere c…
A fine Pinot from this veteran producer. They haven't lost their deft touch despite changes in ownership. The wine is classic Russian River, showing full-throttle berry-cherry fruit, balanced with go…
Crusty berry aromas mesh with olive, mineral notes and leather to form a textbook Chilean Cab bouquet. The palate feels fresh and offers kick via tomatoey acids. Flavors of dried cherry, herbs, fresh…
A fine entry-level Pinot Noir to introduce J. Christopher's expansive single vineyard offerings. This is balanced and true to variety, with clean Pinot cherry cola fruit flavor. There is just a delic…
This very fairly priced Merlot from the Cosumnes River sub-section of Lodi has a juicy berry roundness that makes it inviting to drink, and softly textured all around. On the long finish is a remarka…
