Vinanmeldelser

Dette er ikke en stor, kraftfull Pinot Noir som eldes lenge. Den har ikke glansen og piffen til mer kjente og dyre utgaver. Det den derimot er, er en utrolig god vin som viser Pinots silkemyke og kry…

Fra en eiendomsdrevet vingård er denne middels fyldige vinen jordaktig og aromatisk med aromaer av nybakt brød, med mild, moderat syre. Med lengde og bredde viser den en syrlighet av svart te og stil…

Sitron- og vanilje-crème brûlée trer frem i denne middels fyldige Chardonnay. Medium til høy syre, den beholder en frisk og sprø karakter gjennom lagene av frukt, og avslutter rent.

Denne Pinot handler om frukt, som både er dens styrke og begrensning. Bringebær, jordbær, persimon er til stede, sammen med karamellisert, smøraktig eik. Avslutningen er tanninrik og tørr. Drikk inne…

Prøv å snike denne inn i din neste blinde smaking i vinklubben. Den kan vekke oppsikt. Den viser de modne, polerte smakene av kirsebær, plomme, salvie, johannesbrød og lakris som de fineste Merlotene…

Smakfull og syrlig, dette er en tørr, uttrykksfull hvitvin med tydelig druetypepreg, som byr på syrlige, tett sammenkoblede smaker av kvede, hvit fersken og sitron. En bakgrunnstone av nyklippet gres…

Denne tørre Sauvignon Blanc er vidunderlig tilpasningsdyktig til dagens brede utvalg av mat. Bein tørr og sprø i syrlighet, har den rike, karakteristiske smaker av Meyer sitron, lime, rosa grapefrukt…

Big and full-bodied for a Pinot Noir, almost like a Grenache in its rich cherry and red currant power. It's a good wine, delicious in its own way, but an outlier for a Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir.

Rich and soft and silky, a nice Pinot for drinking now. Flatters for its wealth of raspberries, cherries, persimmons, cola, spices and sandalwood.

Highlighted in Rainier cherry and cassis fruit, with a core of high acidity, this is a drinkable, affordable red wine worth looking for.

This blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah had no problem achieving ripeness. It explodes in blackberry, cherry, chocolate, licorice, teriaki beef, black pepper and sandalwood flavors tha…

Classic old-fashioned California Barbera. It's super-dry, hard in tannins and high in acidity. All that gives it a rather tough mouthfeel, but it should develop for 20 years. Good with tomato-based p…

This shows the superhigh alcohol that Zins from this vineyard often achieve. It's bone dry, but it has a heaviness and heat that make it Port-like, with black currant, prune and dark chocolate flavor…

This is soft and gentle, with easy berry, herb, cola and sandalwood flavors. Drink now, as this is about as good as it will ever be.

Here's a fruity Sauvignon Blanc fllled with flavors of pineapples, papayas, lemons, limes, peaches and even a hint of wild white flowers and gooseberries. The strong flavors are lifted by good acidit…

This leathery, full-bodied red is rich with blueberry cobbler, coffee and smoked meat flavors. Soft and round in structure, it tastes robustly varietal.

Light and supple, this Pinot is meant for drinking now. It's polished and elegant, with a silky texture framing pleasant cherry, cola, spice and smoky oak flavors.

There's lots of rich, jammy blackberry, cherry and oak flavor in this Merlot, with a gentle scour of firm tannins. It's not an ager, but offers plenty of upfront pleasure for drinking now.

Malbec makes up 73% of this blend, with 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Dried herb and cedar give it an herbaceous character. Soft, moderate acidity provides a backbone again…

Shows the coolness of the vintage with a tartly acidic mouthfeel that gives the cherry and raspberry flavors a sour candy feel. Other flavors include mint and a pleasantly sweet touch of butterscotch…

A very good, richly tannic wine that flatters with strong flavors of blackberries, cherries and oak. It may be a little too ripe for its own good, though, as it's pretty jammy. For some reason, the w…

Rarely bottled on its own, Pinot Meunier is better known as a blending component for Champagne. This bottling is like a Pinot Noir in its lightly silky texture and cherry, cola and vanilla flavors. I…

This is an appealing Chardonnay. It's a little sweet in apricot jam, peach, green apple, honey and buttered toast flavors, but the sweetness is balanced with crisp, citrusy acidity and a nice cut of…

Here's a smooth, easy- drinking Syrah that shows plenty of class. The blackberry, beef teriyaki, black pepper and leather flavors are brightened with acidity, while a touch of new oak adds some nice…
