Modne noter av Mirabelle-plommer stiger fra glasset. Ganen viser den aromatiske rikdommen av blomstersteinfrukt mot den sitrusfriske friskheten. Hint av kaprifol og aprikos leker rundt denne elegante…

Dristige strøk av bjørnebær, ristet brød og røyk gjaller gjennom denne blekksvarte rike rødvinen. Selv om den er luksuriøst konsentrert, er den ikke i det hele tatt kraftig, med syrlig rips og fintko…

Urte-, røde bær-, vanilje- og kirsebærlukter etterfølges av reserverte smaker av svart kirsebær. Den viser mye tilbakeholdenhet.

Rik, solid, med modne krydder- og svarte plommesmaker. Den betydelige rikdommen balanseres med mørke tanniner, som gir en følelse av finmasket tekstur til denne solide vinen.

Her er en rik, myk, lett tilgjengelig rødvin som passer til store oksegryter og grillmat. Fullfyldig og tørr, den er fullpakket med bjørnebær, rips, johannesbrød, fioler og rosiner, med et lag av søt…

This new Mistral is roughly half Grenache, the rest a mix of Syrah and four other grapes. It's immediately appealing, loaded with brown spices, plum cake, raisins and chocolate.

Fans of powerful, fruit-driven Zinfandel will exult in this monster of a wine. It is an explosion of blueberry, raspberry, plum, blackberry, chocolate-covered raisin and sandalwood flavors. This is t…

This is a nice Bordeaux-style blend with pretty cherry and currant fruit and some cedar shadings, but lack the complexity of others in its style. It's straight forward, polite and restrained.

Globe-trotting Laely Heron's take on roughly 16-year-old vines in Monterey reveals aromas of Coca Cola, black cherry, ripe plum, sweet beet juice and a bit of tree bark. The palate is powered by anis…

Aromas of moist underbrush, saddle leather, dried herb, menthol and a whiff of game take shape in the glass. The firm palate offers raw sour cherry, cranberry, cinnamon and a hint of tobacco while cl…

This is a spicy, flavorful and fairly straightforward vineyard-designate. It's not overly complex, but offers a mix of classic Gravenstein-apple fruitiness with medium-bodied texture and weight.

More concentrated-tasting and intense than some of d'Arenberg's other 2011 single-vineyard Shirazes, this is still somewhat restrained. Some tobacco notes add nuance to the Ribena-like fruit, picking…

Violet, scorched soil, spice and mature berry aromas lead the nose. The medium-bodied, elegant palate delivers mature black cherry, crushed raspberry, freshly ground clove and black pepper. Firm but…
