Vinanmeldelser

La Romualda er en herlig vin som har utviklet seg fint. Den har noe av plommesmaken fra året, men det er også friskhet og en pen blomsteraktig kvalitet. Stor, rik og behagelig.

Denne lettere vinstilen lukter bakt eple og har en tydelig fruktig smak med en bakgrunn av frisk syre. Den er ikke eikepreget og har mange forfriskende kvaliteter uten en sterk personlighet.

Med modne aromaer av hostesaft, bakt bær, kirsebær og røyk, tilbyr denne Malbecen litt av alt. Ganen er fyldig, men har energi, og smakene av boysenbær, blåbær og sjokolade kommer i en stor, pulseren…

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.

Classic Meursault, big and bold with a rounded texture. That said, the wine does have a crisp edge of green apples to balance the spiced toast, which is very evident at this stage.

Here's a big, lusty Syrah, unapologetic for its lush, ripe flavors and easy deliciousness. It's so fruity in cherries, blackberries, cola and dark chocolate, it's almost a dessert wine, except that i…

Perfumed, bold and brambly, this is a full-bodied and fairly-priced rendition of the variety that's big in cherry cola flavor, earthy mint and oak.

As with the other single-vineyard wines from Brooks, this was give 18 months in French oak, and shows strong accents of baking spices and plum cake. The fruit leans toward raisins and figs—just on th…

A ripe, almost thick, peach-laden wine with big, rich fruit and lots of punch.

This full-bodied wine has big aromas like baking spices, prunes and figs, while flavors recalling maple syrup and chocolate seem to coat the palate. Although technically dry, it feels sweet and lush.

Tart and forward, with cranberry and raspberry fruit front and center, this is a tasty, acidic and lightly spicy effort that shows some nice precision. It's not a big wine, but balanced and based upo…

Nothing subtle about this big, ripe, oaky Chardonnay. It shows the tropical fruit richness of a fine Alexander Valley Chard, flamboyant in pineapple custard flavor, with a flinty minerality. The swee…

At first high-toned, this opens nicely with crisp green apple fruit flavors. It's balanced and clear. Don't look for big, blowsy tropical flavors or buttery oak, though the barrel fermentation provid…

This is a full and chunky type of New World Chardonnay, with an oily, mildly stalky nose that offers corn and apple aromas. It feels big across the palate and tastes toasted and peachy, with a fresh…

A big burly Syrah from this Temecula producer whose goal it is to become the premier winery of Southern California, the wine is loaded with plummy black fruit and a peppery mouthfeel, its oakiness de…

Floral, fresh and just big enough to make it worth a go. There's a bit of everything to this nice-priced Cab, including leafiness, red fruit, toast, chocolate and cassis. There's also a bit of heat a…

Great price for a big production (5,000 cases) Chardonnay of this quality. It's dry and crisp and elegantly structured, with savory citrus fruit, peach, mineral and vanilla flavors. Easily as good as…

The aroma of charred oak dominates this Malbec, while oak tannins rule the palate. The underyling wine is soft and fruity and tannic in itself, with blackberry and currant flavors. Big and hefty, it'…

A good wine, not a great one, that shows why Petit Verdot on its own is hard to make into a complete wine, although from a marketing point of view, it has a certain tale to tell. Midnight dark in col…

Light pink/gold in color, this is an exotic ripe wine with melon and tropical fruit flavors underlined by toast. It is big, rich and mouthfilling.

You might think this was a big Pinot Noir, like a Santa Lucia Highlands, if you blind-tasted it. It's thick and forward in blackberry, currant and cherry flavors, with a firm tannic structure, and ve…

Easton continues to be devoted to its Barbera, which as always is a big, tannicly dry mountain wine. It's packed with blackberry, coffee, chocolate and spice flavors, with a distinctly baked quality,…

Nuarè is a bright and cheerful Pinot Noir with fruit sourced from northern Italy that shows pretty nuances of forest berry and blue flower. The mouthfeel is lean and compact but the low price is one…

Bold Malbec with aromas of berry liqueur, cassis and black cherry. The palate is fresh in feel, with some edginess and snappy acids. Tastes full of berry fruit, creamy oak and vanilla, while the fini…
