Vinanmeldelser

This gentle, quaffable wine offers light flavors of strawberry and apple. There's generous acidity, and despite the fairly substantial alcohol, it's modest in its proportions.

This special-edition wine carries a striking logo relating to a particular chair that has something to do with the owners. Apart from that, it's pretty standard stuff—black cherry, plum and cocoa fla…

Soft and diffuse, this offers light flavors of pear with a hint of spice. Done entirely in stainless steel, it's a good, all-purpose white.

Light and tart, with high acid cranberry fruit flavors. It's clean and straightforward, though the old vines (some are 34 years old) do not deliver the complexity that might be anticipated.

Inky black and foamy, this has wet earth, prune and peach pit aromas. The dry, vinous palate offers dried blackberry and crushed grape flavors set against firm acidity and slightly grainy tannins. It…

This lean, racy red offers red cherry, citrus zest and raisin notes. Firm acidity contributes to its bone-dry finish.

Earthy cherry aromas are downright raw, with a touch of green grass woven in. An acidic, choppy palate follows the nose, while this Garnacha from the Sierra de Salamanca region tastes of tart red cur…

Aromas of herbal red-berry fruits, tomato, leather and grass lead to a snappy, tight, drawn palate. Red-currant and plum-skin flavors are racy, while this Rufete, a variety rarely seen, is grabby and…

This is quite light, almost ephemeral, with tart raspberry and red licorice flavors and a strong metallic/mineral streak. It is delicately made, and interesting, but comparable to a simple Bourgogne…

This is a light, leafy wine, with tannins that taste of green tea and leave a sensation of astringency long after the wine is swallowed. Sounds like Burgundy! In a world where so many Oregon wineries…

Pierre Léon is a selection of different clones from the winery estate. Maybe it's the vintage, but the wine seems dilute. The flavors of tart wild berry, earth and herb have a thin, edgy character; a…

This limited-production Chardonnay has the scents and flavors of just-baked, well-buttered biscuits. The fruit is a mix of peaches and pears, but the barrel influences—fermentation was done in 20% ne…

It clocks in at an astonishing 15% alcohol, but does not show it in terms of flavor. The fruit is plenty ripe and a bit thick, but well-supported with acidity. Nonetheless the wine seems heavy and mo…

Bright and fruity, this is a wine to be enjoyed now. It's crisp acidity, but concentrated with creamed-apple flavors and broadened by a touch of wood.

This is stiff and herbal, both in scents and flavors. There's a strong streak of earth dampening the light cranberry fruit. The aging in two third new French oak adds a bit of chocolate to the finish.

This is a solid, ready-to-drink effort, with forward flavors of raspberry and cherry. The well-managed tannins remain in the background, but put a definite edge around the finish, which wraps up quic…

The delicate nose on this reserve Chard offers citrus and flowers with a touch of nutty spice. On the palate, it's a straightforward white with elements of lemon citrus, grapefruit and hazelnut. An e…

A dry, tannic and severe Syrah. It's tart and sandpapery in the mouth, with a scoury mouthfeel, and although you'll find some cherries and currants, there's not enough richness to counterbalance the…

Dette er et modent år, men denne vinmarkbetegnelsen er ikke like tropisk som deres Côte Sud. Det er en mer presis stil, men det finnes også hint av gress, løk og urter. Interessant, men litt på avvei…

La Cala er en morsom og lett uttrykk av Vermentino fra den solrike øya Sardinia, som viser lyse sitrusnoter støttet av toner av kaprifol og vill salvie. Kombiner denne vinen med friterte blekksprutri…

En typisk blanding fra Gascogne, vinen har både syre og frisk, ung fruktighet. Urteaktig og sitruspreget med stikkelsbær, vinen er lys og lett uten å miste noe av intensiteten. Drikk nå og i løpet av…

De lette og fruktige smakene av unge vinstokker dominerer her, syrlige og skarpe i denne kjølige årgangen. Bringebær og lette urter åpner opp til en delikat, kort, noe tynn vin.

Aromaer av espresso, middelhavskjerr og mørkskinnet bær leder nesen. Den dempede ganen er på den slanke siden, med tørket svart kirsebær og en grønn tone av malt salvie sammen med astrigente tanniner…

Aromaer av fransk eik, vanilje og et hint av asiatisk krydder preger nesen. Den slanke ganen tilbyr rå kirsebær, espresso og eikedrevet krydder sammen med frisk syre og fine, flyktige tanniner. Drikk…
