Another of Noceto's stellar small-production Sangiovese, this one plummy with tobacco and sour cherry most prominent and a slight hint of sweetness as it finishes. Dos Oakies comes from the winery's…
The wine shows the richness that the Merlot attained in this vintage. Happily, it also has acidity and red fruits to balance the pepper and wood-aging flavors. It will always be a superripe wine alth…
This is the little brother of Brumont's estate wines such as Montus and Bouscassé. It is all fruit, the 80% Tannat tamed easily, leaving a modicum of tannins to support the juicy black fruit. It is a…
The 2010 Select is a step ahead of Torii Mor's single vineyard offerings, but holds to the common thread of hard, tart, tight wines with little flesh on their bones. Here the raspberry and strawberry…
Citrusy aromas suggest white grapefruit. Plump but balanced in feel, this tastes a bit salty and briny, maybe a reflection of its partial coastal grapes, something that's new to Argentina. The briny…
This fills the basic need for a steakhouse-ready red at a reasonable price. Cassis fruit is framed by hints of cedar, vanilla and tobacco, while the tannins are smooth to the point of creaminess. Dri…
This blend of 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Malbec, 20% Petit Verdot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 12% Merlot is very approachable on the nose with blackberry and black-pepper aromas. The palate also offers…
Fresh tangerine, green melon and lime abound in this fruit-forward dry white. This shows light-footed refreshment without a lot of complication. The finish is brisk and pristinely citrusy.
A good value in easy-to-drink Cabernet, McWilliam's 2008 is plummy and chocolaty, with soft tannins and a velvety finish. A bit simple perhaps, but definitely satisfying. Drink now.
Shows the coolness of the vintage with a tartly acidic mouthfeel that gives the cherry and raspberry flavors a sour candy feel. Other flavors include mint and a pleasantly sweet touch of butterscotch…
This 100% Sangiovese has interesting aromatics, with a pine ester high note over the light strawberry-scented fruit. There is an earthy underpinning; overall a pleasant quaffer with a bit more heft t…
With 18 months in French oak and another 18 months in bottle before release, this is a developed and complex wine with serious cassis and blackberry flavors accented by notes of menthol, tea leaves,…
Some lemon-zest texture characterizes this otherwise rounded wine. It has good bright fruitiness, a hint of wood and full white fruit flavors. It needs to age, so drink from early 2015.
Made in a soft, user-friendly style, the 2008 DB Family Selection Petite Sirah offers up a flavorful mouthful of plum and baking spices. It's medium-bodied, with a silkiness to the structure that bel…
This is a little rough and scouring on the mouth, but otherwise a fine sparkling wine. It's rich and slightly sweet, with orange, lime, vanilla and yeasty dough flavors.
This has a lively, whimsical label and some very good juice within. A blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Zinfandel, it is intoxicatingly perfumed like cotton candy. Otherwise jammy, with dark ch…
Aromas of red berry, apple and a whiff of bread dough lead the nose. The lively palate offers sour cherry, nectarine and bread crust alongside firm acidity and a vivacious perlage.
Delicate aromas of red berry mix with scents of iris and a whiff of toasted nut. The lean, racy palate offers white cherry and lime alongside firm acidity and a persistent perlage.
This Chiles Valley producer, on the eastern edge of the Napa Valley, has made a big Chardonnay that doesn't exude much aromatically at first and veers sweet, but is otherwise balanced and could devel…
Fortified Tannat makes for a rich while also tannic wine. Its sweet, jammy fruit and the opulence that comes from the addition of spirit are tempered by firm tannins. It should be aged for another ye…
Age has mellowed this potent Port-style wine a bit but hardly tamed it. The dark auburn edge to the otherwise black color hints at its maturity as do the pruny nutty roasted-cherry flavors. It's very…
Denne middels søte vinen har attraktive gule frukt- og mango-smaker. Den er myk, med et hint av honning og friskere sitronjuice-aksenter. Drikk nå.
Med 6 Rhône-druetyper, inkludert Viognier, er dette en frisk, fruktig vin som bør drikkes innen de neste fem årene. Den har sterke smaker av kirsebær, bjørnebær og andre bær, med en røykfylt vanilje…
Mer enn anstendig; dette er en god SB uten unødvendige krumspring, men med mye rettfram kompetanse. Nesen er støvete og fyldig, mens ganen har rundhet, tyngde og likbar sitrus, grønn melon og andre v…
