Right up there with the recent string of fabulous têtes de cuvées, the 2000 shows the concentration, power and subtlety of this, the winery's top release. A blend of Chardonnay with 20% Pinot Noir, i…

Flinty elderberry and crushed blackberry are the dark-fruited aromatics that pervade the nose and palate of this wine. There is a smoky smudge to the velvet tannins, making this intriguing and elegan…

Developing a golden color, this is already a beautifully mature wine with some sweetness and ripe flavors of yellow fruits and lemon. There's also a touch of honey and spice to this blend of Pinot Gr…

A lifted lemon-scented nose of peach gives and impression of ease and lightness. The palate, however, lays on generous sweetness to focus on ripe juicy peach notes. There is a huge concentration of f…

That ethereal herbal lift of fine Riesling is apparent with the very first whiff. These wonderfully herb-scented notions continue on the exemplary dry palate: Imagine a lick of scented, dried chamomi…

Beautifully aromatic notes of ripe citrus peel rise from the glass—think tangerine and juicy clementine. These flavors become more zesty on the full-flavored, concentrated but linear palate. This is…

The nose is slightly subdued with a faint touch of lemon balm and orange. The palate unpacks this with notes of both citrus and earth. There is something textured about that earthy feel, while all th…

Juicy dark-purple fruits hold the center of this supple, engaging wine that's still young, with chewy tannins. There's tangy bite to the acids and plenty of muscle for aging. Drink 2020 through 2030…

A subtle hint of sandalwood and rose plays alongside the juicy pear of the palate. There is a rich floral creaminess on the palate that flashes a touch of vanilla and hints of Damask rose. A pleasant…

The senses are immediately captured by the purity of the perfectly ripe apple notes that rise from the glass. The palate continues in that pure, joyous, juicy vein. This has incredible power and desp…

The ethereal, aromatic lift of this wine is addictive. It appears like the sublimation of fresh, ripe apple. The dry, brisk palate adds streaks of lanolin and earthiness to that profound, glistening…

A crystalline purity persists from nose to finish in this dry, mineral Riesling. Tart white peach and pear flavors are showered in shards of mineral and crushed rock and an electric streak of lime ac…

Produced from the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the Willamette Valley, this extraordinary wine is history in a bottle. Glorious aromatics offer intense scents of citrus, pine needle, pepper and berry, w…

This wine is perfumed with cherries and red berries. Its structure, which is certainly there, is almost secondary to this brilliant fruit. Balanced with a mineral dryness, the wine is certainly going…

The intensity of this wine is extraordinary, with huge spice flavors and a richness that almost becomes sweetness. There is honey as well as ripe white fruits, the acidity just a glint in the afterta…

A blend of 13 vintages, beautifully ripe and round, even with some maturity. Fresh citric fruit cuts through the richness and flavors of pineapple. There is a tang in the texture, an almost chewy str…

If you're looking for classic Napa Cabernet, this utterly delicious bottling is right there. Blended with some Petit Verdot and Merlot, it's a selection of the winery's extensive acreage across the S…

This is one of the most dramatic Chardonnays of the vintage, which was a difficult one owing to the coldest summer in many years. Somehow, Hartford Court's viticulturalists pulled it off. There's no…

Rik og rund, fullpakket med gule frukter og ananassmaker, dette er en varm, overdådig vin som kombinerer toast og frukt. Det er riktig at det finnes en viss mineralitet, men denne Meursaulten nyter s…

Mørke fruktaromaer av kirsebær, bjørnebær og eksotiske krydder utgjør buketten. Det er blekkaktig fylde, i kontrast til delikate aromaer av blyant, cola og speket kjøtt. Vinen er fyldig, rik og konse…

Denne vinen er fortsatt litt lukket, og ønsker ikke ennå å avsløre for mye av sine modne, nesten overdådige smaker. Smaksbildet signaliserer imidlertid at alt er til stede: konsentrasjon, balanse og…

Selv om alkoholen er svak, har denne fantastiske tørre Rieslingen en dyp teksturert rikdom. Modige smaker av gult fersken og appelsin dominerer ganen, men blir dempet av kaskader av våt stein, petrol…

Slank og saftig, denne ble fermentert med naturlig gjær og modnet i ni måneder på 50 % ny fransk eik. Den har en jernaktig nerve som holder den litt stram og kompakt, med konsentrerte fruktaromaer av…
