Vinanmeldelser

A good, everyday Pinot marked by dryness, softness and raspberry, cherry and cola flavors. Nice with salty ham, lamb chops or roasted salmon.

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…

A nice Cabernet for drinking now. It's rich in berries, cherries, currants and oak, with smooth tannins and soft acidity. Shows an elaboration that makes it upscale and elegant.

The vineyard is in Sebastopol, and the wine shows its cool origins in brisk acidity, a soft, delicate structure, and a peppermint and clove edge to the cherry fruit flavors. It's a fine wine for imme…

The name suggests the Aussie Shiraz style of this richly fruity Syrah. It offers a mouthburst of juicy raspberries, blackberries, cherries, cocoa, bacon, licorice and sandalwood, wrapped into firm ta…

A fairly standard Chardonnay, rich in oak, lees and ripe citrus and tropical fruit flavors, but raised up by brisk acidity and a fine minerality that gives it extra complexity. It's rich with honey a…

Inviting floral notes open the aromatics of this wine. These evolve into a thick palate of melon and citrus, the finish light and high in acidity. Straightforward and balanced, it's a quaffer.

Damp forest and dried cherry with cranberry combine on the nose and palate in this wine, sourced predominantly from Monterey County. Soft and silky it risks veering off balance once the oak begins to…

This dry Pinot has a lovely, silky mouthfeel and ripe flavors of strawberries and oak. Tough tannins, marked acids and some green flavors distract.

Light bodied and modest in flavor, with lots of acidity. You find yourself wishing there was more in the way of fruit. Still, it's pretty good for the price, with a nice, silky texture.

There's something off in the aroma, which is herbal and peppery. Turns richer once you take a sip, with pleasantly dry, crisp cherry candy, white pepper and oak flavors. The vineyard is in a cool sit…

Tastes sweeter and fruitier than the 2009, which was dry, so if you like orange marmalade, pineapple tart and vanilla cookie sugariness in your Sauvignon Blancs, it's for you.

Dry and weighty at first on the palate, this wine is ultimately tart and tangy, awash in grippy acidity sparked by flavors of cherry and lime.

Lodi-based Michael David turns to Lodi, Sonoma's Dry Creek Valley and Lake County to craft this white wine, mostly Sauvignon Blanc with a drop of Sémillon too. Ready for a summer's day with subtle Ma…

There's a tough, gritty feeling in the mouth with this dry, tannic wine. Although it has some rich flavors blackberries and blueberries, it's astringent and hard. Give it a good long decant and drink…

Full-bodied, tannic, juicy-fruity and dry, this red blend has flavors of blackberries, plums, dark chocolate and anise, with spicy, earthy notes of tobacco. Made from Primitivo, Zinfandel and Terolde…

From a cool site high above the coastal town of Jenner, this 100% varietal wine is made in small amounts and given almost two years in French oak, only a quarter of it new. Intense, it exudes baked a…

This is a touch overripe and plummy, akin to a puree on the nose. Smoky oak lurks behind the fruit, along with a taste of almond and tea. In the end, the wine ends robustly and full-figured, with ple…

Dark and full-bodied in style and taste, this savory wine offers leathery tannins and value for the quality. Wild berries rise to the fore on the nose and palate, with a floral rejoinder and herbal,…

Sweetly ripe on the nose, this is a meaty, full-bodied and somewhat oaky white wine. The majority of the fruit comes from Sonoma County, the rest from Napa. White peach and vanilla mark the palate, f…

Røykfylt eik og fast tannin støtter rik rød og svart frukt i denne Bordeaux-inspirerte blandingen, som tilbyr moderat syre og struktur.

Med moderat alkohol og frisk syre viser denne elegansen til 2011-årgangen, og den gir modne smaker av kirsebær, tranebær og granatepler. Drikk nå.

Hentet fra en rekke vinmarker, mange av dem i Sonoma County, er dette en intenst mørk, kraftig Chardonnay med smak av sur sitron og eple, rik på eik med en ren finish.

Laget i en drikkeklar stil, dette er en delikat balansert vin, rik på eik, med en rikdom av bringebær og kirsebær. Den er myk, deilig og litt høy i alkohol.
