Vinanmeldelser

Svært søt med smaker av bjørnebær, sjokolade og vanilje fra eiken, med en fin syrlighet. Det er en tilfredsstillende dessertvin til sjokolade, eller prøv pekankake, men den ville fått høyere poeng hv…

Urteaktige, læraktige aromaer gir vei til et ganske sterkt innslag av grønt som infiltrerer vinen. Ved siden av den urteaktige, grønne kjernen er det krydret sjokolade, mørke bærfrukter og intens syr…

Elegant og krydret, dette vinen gir aksenter av hvit pepper, nellik, lakris og mineraler pakket rundt en kjerne av saftig svart kirsebær. Faste, men polerte tanniner gir støtte. Den er lett å drikke…

Spicy red-fruit flavors run the gamut from cranberry to cherry, which creates a substantial, flavorful core. The wine dries out and turns chalky on the finish, but it comes with highlights of nutmeg…

Made from Celilo Vineyard fruit, this has a sharp-toned bite to its aromas and flavors. Hints of tropical fruits can be found, but the core of the wine is citrusy. A suggestion of light caramel surfa…

A juicy blend of 86% Mourvèdre and 14% Grenache this is a bang-up value for subtle blueberry and crushed blackberry layers amid a sanguine, earthy core. Soft and medium-bodied, it has a distinct sugg…

Densely tannic, this is a dark, rich, intense wine. The mature dusty tannins are balanced by acidity, black currant fruitiness and finished with a dry core. It's ready to drink.

With buttered popcorn scents and flavors, underscored with pretty, toasty oak, this marries those flavors to a more restrained body, balanced with good acidity and showing fruit flavors of green appl…

Apart from the spectacular Polynesian name and label winemaker Heifara Swartvagher chose to honor his Tahitian mom, the wine is classic ripe Malbec. With firm tannins and solid fruits, it's full of s…

Full of blackberry fruits and ripe tannins, this wine is spicy and with a perfumed character. It does have a dry core of structure to it along with rich fruits and the smoothing effect of wood aging.…

Campidonne is a sassy, spicy wine with loads of cinnamon, chocolate, nutmeg and spice spread over a core of black fruit and cherry. It's smooth and compact with a bright spot of freshness on the medi…

Aromas of ripe dark-skinned fruit and baking spice lead the nose. The palate delivers black cherry, raspberry compote and a hint of ground pepper while close-knit, fine-grained tannins grip the finis…

Vanilla and cinnamon give this fresh, full-fruited red and its notions of plum and ripe cherry a very generous feel. This is easy to drink and easy to like, with a lovely plush mouthfeel and a medium…

A whiff of earth under tangy, young, grapy fruit leads into a tasty, easy-drinking Gamay with flavors of mountain berries. Firm, lemony acidity underscores the bright fruit. Drink this over the next…

A firmly tannic wine, its dry core surrounded by dark plum skin and damson flavors. It has weight, a potential for richness that will develop over the next 2–3 years. Solid and chunky aftertaste.

There's a subtle richness to this well-balanced wine, evident in toasty accents of hazelnut and peach pit that compliment the honeydew and juicy pear-flesh core. The medium-weight palate offers ample…

Soft with cranberry and red currant accents, this fairly priced wine is subtle in tannin and oak, with a core of succulent black cherry and clove flavor. Approachable and round on the palate, it's a…

Toasted nut, yellow melon, pear and struck match scents show on the nose of this bottling from a steep, rocky vineyard in the mountains between Malibu and the Conejo Valley. It's tightly wound on the…

Delicate spring flower and orchard fruit scents lift out of the glass. On the crisp palate, a bitter almond note underscores yellow peach, golden apple and nectarine flavors, with lively acidity.

This may be simple Zweigelt, but it has a great structure, bringing out an impressively complex juice and tannin combination, with a ripe sweet character, black berry fruits and a core of tight, mine…

The 2005 vintage of this vineyard designate Nebbiolo scored an outstanding 94 points, but this edition of Barolo Vigna Rué doesn't quite live up to its predecessor. There are some sharper notes of re…

The fruity characteristics are the star of this wine, with heady notes of forest berry, red plum and cherry that flood the nose and mouth. Accents of chocolate, menthol and sweet smoke add depth, but…
