Vinanmeldelser

Delicate scents of white spring flower and orchard fruit lead the nose while the fresh light-bodied palate offers suggestions of yellow peach and apple. It closes crisp and clean.

An acidic, bone-dry Chardonnay, brilliant in fruit, that doesn't seem to have been touched by oak. It's so pure in zesty Meyer lemon, lime and kiwi flavors, with a mouthwateringy clean finish.

This is quite light, almost ephemeral, with tart raspberry and red licorice flavors and a strong metallic/mineral streak. It is delicately made, and interesting, but comparable to a simple Bourgogne…

Pierre Léon is a selection of different clones from the winery estate. Maybe it's the vintage, but the wine seems dilute. The flavors of tart wild berry, earth and herb have a thin, edgy character; a…

Notes of dried fig, citrus rind and tangerines are spiked with whiffs of potpourri and spice on this richly textured, unctuously sweet iced wine made from late-harvest grapes frozen after harvest. Cr…

Herbaceous, with notes of fresh leaves, green florals and honeydew, this bargain eiswein is ethereally delicate on the palate. It's honeyed in sweetness, but briskly composed, with sharp lemon acidit…

Light and pretty with watermelon and faint strawberry notes, Frisk is just slightly fizzy. Its aromas almost trick one into expecting a wine that's sweet, but it finishes dry and is in balance. Made…

Fresh and creamy, this is a smooth, rich wine. It has citrus and baked apple flavors that meld easily and fully into a fruity texture. With some weight, it also has a bright, crisp aftertaste.

A good, if standard, wine that will satisfy Chardophiles who like their wines lush and ripe. It's rich in honey, pineapple, Meyer lemon and peach flavors.

Tastes unusually lush and soft for a Napa Cab. While it's officially dry, sweet, caramelized oak and raspberry-jam flavors, along with a slick, glycerine mouthfeel, makes it as rich as a candy bar.

Reflecting the difficulties of the vintage, this is a slightly edgy, coarsely textured wine, with sweet, oaky notes framing cherries and roasted beets. Try it with something slightly rustic, like bee…

Bacca Bianca from the vineyards of Tenuta di Budonetto, is a blend of Inzolia, Grecanico and Chardonnay. This wine is slightly muddled aromatically, but it does possess a fresh, zesty mouthfeel.

Apples, green plums and peaches go with lemon zest acidity in this soft, fruity white wine. It is ready for drinking, finishing with an attractive warm finish.

Ready to drink, this Pinot is already losing color and going brick at the rim, its modest red berry fruit falling away to reveal notes of brown sugar, vanilla and even a touch of wintergreen. Supple…

This is slightly bigger and earthier than Ara's other 2009 Pinot Noir, with notes more of beet than cherry, and hints of dried herbs and mushrooms. It's a sturdy wine that could stand up to braised m…

A terrific value wine, La Piazza (in a screw cap bottle) is a blend of Merlot and Nero d'Avola. Bright aromas of cinnamon, Spanish cedar, mocha, black cherry and bitter almond have a raw, vinous qual…

Here's a focused and sharp Sicilian white that shows bright aromas of citrus, cut grass, kiwi and stone fruit.

Made from Dão's signature Encruzado grape, this has ripe almonds, yellow fruit and a seductive perfumed character. It's a rounded wine, the acidity well integrated into the ripe character. Drink now,…

One of the new generation of regional wines, this Grüner Veltliner exhibits all the open flavors of the variety, with some spice and pepper, pear skin texture and a fresh, flowery acidity. Drink this…

Here's a tonic and fresh Prosecco with piquant effervescence and firm bubbling on the palate. The wine has a sweet lemon soda note and drying mineral tones at the back that make for an easy-sipping I…

This sound, Port-style wine is made from Zinfandel. It shows briary flavors of wild red and black berries, milk chocolate and Christmas plum pudding, with spices of cinnamon, anise and nutmeg. Could…

This luminous sparkler delivers a polished nose of white flower, crushed peppercorn, stone fruit and citrus. The mouthfeel is characterized by prickly effervescence and a touch of piquant spice on th…

This mineral-driven Prosecco Brut has a sharp, focused quality that comes across in the sparkler's consistent perlage and its immediate aromas of white flower, stone fruit and talc powder. It has a c…

Made in the Novy style, which seems to get a little softer and sweeter every year. Nonetheless, shows an interesting interpretation of this difficult Italian variety. It's a light-colored, light-bodi…
