Denne vinen, fra en nylig ervervet eiendom, er syrlig og ung, nesten drueaktig, med frukten litt redusert. Vinen virker som om den gjemmer seg. Den faller av midt i og avslutter med tanniner og lite…
Cortina refererer til jordtypen. Vinen viser fremovervendt, pent fruktbilde med blanding av bær og kirsebær, og følger opp med lyse, rene og munnvennlige smaker. Avslutningen er svakere, med noen tør…
Interessante noter av sedertre, vilt og lær fremhever denne vinens aromaer og smaker av bjørnebær og sjokolade. Det er en nesten Rhône-lignende kvalitet ved denne fyldige, velbalanserte vinen. Produs…
Myk stil, med mye vaniljekrem og moden bærfrukt. En fremoverlent, innbydende vintype, med lette tanniner og en ren, fokusert avslutning. Den er godt balansert og profesjonelt laget, men til slutt lit…
Lukter oljete, med en diesel-lignende lukt som noen kan finne frastøtende. Rik og jordaktig på ganen, denne flasken fremhever krydder-, mineral- og jordsmaker, ikke den lyse frukten som mange andre p…
Showing oaky flavors of vanilla, butterscotch and buttered toast, this Chardonnay has the brisk acidity of the Arroyo Seco appellation. The flavors are of pineapples, oranges and limes.
Opens with a warm, baked nose of raisin, roasted plum and tobacco. The palate is scouring and crisp due to sharp acids, and thus the flavors follow suit in that they're lean and tart and focus on pie…
Cherry and leather aromas show a stemmy, brambly element. The mouthfeel is sharp and scratchy, while the flavors are a mix of reedy tobacco, raspberry and cherry. Choppy but juicy and lively on the f…
Forward berry aromas are regular but solid. The palate has a ripe but choppy mouthfeel and juicy, firm flavors of blackberry and dark toast. Burns a bit on the finish, with extended toasty flavors an…
Reddish in color and big on the bouquet, with sweet berry and cherry aromas. The palate is full and fun, with acidity and heavier, sweeter flavors of strawberry, raspberry and sweet plum. Handles its…
Standard-issue berry and plum aromas turn warm and leathery with airing. The palate on this Malbec-Bonarda-Syrah blend is juicy, but it comes with a choppy feel. Tastes brambly and wild, with red ber…
Lots of raspberry and cherry fruit and sweet, caramelized oak in this Pinot Noir. It's rather simple, but crisp in acidity. Not going anywhere, so drink up.
A veritable bouquet of jasmine and orange blossoms, this off-dry Gewürztraminer hits the tongue with a delightful prickle of effervescence. Soft and rich with juicy melon and peach flavors, it finish…
Opens with air freshener, chemical notes, lime and pastis aromas. Overall it doesn't smell light and ethereal like some Moscatels, but it's honest and varietally correct throughout. Tastes of honey,…
Pecan and brown sugar aromas float around a sharp core of citrus that's reflected on the palate via tangy, dry orange and apricot flavors. The mouthfeel smacks down hard with acidity; overall it comb…
Fresh and clean, with very tart and herbal flavors, and lighter suggestions of pear and lime fruit. The zippy acidity defines the wine; it's clean and bracing.
Genuine, honest and straightforward, this ruby-colored Valpolicella Superiore from the Valpantena area boasts aromas of red fruit and blueberry with pretty accents of spice, leather and cola. It's sm…
Too much oak on this Chardonnay. It's dominated by the aromas and flavors of buttered toast and caramelized, vanilla accented wood. Underneath all that are some pretty good pineapple, peach and pear…
The bouquet delivers snap, clarity and a pure Leyda character, which revolves around ocean-influenced notes of asparagus and green bean. The palate has scour and sizzle, and the flavors suggest lime,…
Honest, citrusy aromas are simple and nice, while the palate is spritzy, zesty and tastes mildly sweet but also correct with mango, lime, apple and orange flavors. Clean, fun and leaning toward sweet…
Aromas of crusty blackberry are dark and herbal, while the palate is zesty and fresh, with tight acidity supporting flavors of cassis, black cherry, cola nut and pepper. Toasty, herbal and licorice-l…
A strong Zinfandel, tannic, high in alcohol and fruity, and brimming with wild forest cherry and raspberry liqueur, exotic spices and sweet sandalwood. Drink it with a juicy cheeseburger, a spicy bee…
Young, bright berry aromas lead on this appealing red. Balanced red fruit, minerals and a touch of spice are friendly and appealing, though not terribly complex. A great everyday red.
Gracia de Chile is doing some good value varietals. This SB is one of them; it's peachy and citrusy on the nose, with melon and grapefruit flavors in wait. The palate has just enough weight and zest…
