Vinanmeldelser

Blended from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel and Syrah, this is a complex wine. Very dry and marked by young, aggressive tannins, it strikes you as dramatic, offering waves of fruit, mineral, s…

There's an intense purity to this Sauvignon Blanc that makes it particularly refined and elegant. In fact, this is Stag's Leap's best in many years. It has a translucency that lets you taste the mine…

This offers a hint of honey in the nose, then moves into a fresh palate loaded with a full range of yellow fruits. The acidity is spot on, and a suggestion of wet cement adds a hint of mineral to the…

Like almost all of Reverie's Cabernets on release, this one needs time in the cellar. Tasted in fall 2011, it's tight and grapey, with blackberry jam flavors girded by a firm, stony minerality and sw…

A wine that reveals a textured side of Meursault. It has weight, ripe apricot and pineapple fruit with a refreshing touch of acidity. But the chalky, mineral character equally defines the wine. Age f…

A first for Animale, and a terrific success, despite the almost 16% alcohol. Bursting with ripe berry flavors, this complex and flat-out delicious wine goes well beyond its highly-extracted black fru…

At five years, this balanced, ripe wine is both elegant and concentrated. Fine tannins support the red cherry and black berry fruits, with layers of acidity and minerality. The wine, well balanced, i…

Beautifully balanced and elegant, this is made by one of the winemakers at Cardinale and inspired by the Loire Valley. It offers equal parts fruit, weight and minerality, tasting of fresh-squeezed li…

This ripe but fresh blend of 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Syrah and 32% Petite Sirah shows blackberry-blueberry syrup as well as cedar and smoked pork on the nose. The palate offers rich and tasty fla…

An inviting nose of buttery stewed cherries and red currants grows even more delicious thanks to smoked pork and a black-slate minerality. It's not quite so boisterous on the palate, but it features…

Long Island is not typically known for Cabernet Sauvignon, but in the hands of winemaker Anthony Nappa (who also crafts excellent Cabs at Raphael), the variety shows remarkable promise. Juxtaposing h…

Mineral, mulberry, dried herb and black-fruit aromas lead to layered dark-fruit flavors that show intensity as well as exceptional balance. This has a delicious factor that is impossible to ignore.

Heinrich's Blaufränkisch is a concentrated and deeply tannic wine. It shows a mineral texture to go with the black plums and powerful structure. Intended for long-term aging, its acidity and dry core…

An interesting wine that grows more complex as it sits and warms in the glass. The vineyard long has been source to one of Ravenswood's best Zinfandels, and the 2007 was really great. This '08 is a t…

The Loner title seems to refer to an absence of oak, although it's not entirely unoaked. The wine spent time in what the winemaker calls “seasoned barriques” that lent no overt oak influence, but let…

This is finely proportioned, with intense fruit flavors laced with spice, acidity and a mineral texture. Made using grapes from a single vineyard, it is concentrated, with a depth of intense flavor.…

A wonderful wine at a great price. This is complex and delicious in blackberry and black currant flavors, with a savory minerality on the finish. As it starts off with tough tannins, allow it to deca…

This five-grape blend is harmonious, with aromas of sweet spice, ripe berry, cherry, licorice and mineral. It's racy, deep and powerful, with dark berry, black plum and oaky, spicy flavors. It's long…

Dette er en rik og myk, men likevel mineralpreget vin. Den har fylde, men er balansert med intens syre, en tett tekstur, samt aromaer av rosa grapefrukt og mandarin. Denne trenger å modnes i flere år…

Donum er på toppen av sitt Pinot Noir-spill. Dette er rett og slett vidunderlig, og tilbyr en rikdom av røde frukter, cola, krydder, mineraler og jordsmaker. Tanninene er behagelige, syren frisk og r…

En eksklusiv, rik Chardonnay med konsentrerte, intense smaker av Meyer-sitron, mineraler og kaprifol, men samtidig elegant med strømlinjeformet syrlighet. Eik gir den perfekte touchen av smørstekt br…

Dette er en stram, terroirdrevet Riesling. Den har tekstur med både mineralitet og anspent, racy fruktighet. Med sin parfymert bakgrunn er dette en vin for lagring. Skrukork.

Denne er rik og konsentrert. Den har tyngde, med den modne hvite ferskenfrukten som gir en myk avslutning til den ellers stramme, mineralske syren. Lagres i 3–4 år. Glasskork.

Så moden at du kan smake solen som bryter gjennom bjørnebærsmaken. Fast, raffinert tanniner, god syrlighet og en jordnær mineralitet gir kompleks struktur til denne intenst konsentrerte fjellvinen. D…
