Vinanmeldelser

Fra vinmarkene til det store slottet i Sancerre har denne rike røde og svarte kirsebærfrukter, en linje av den reneste syrligheten og akkurat riktig mengde tanninstruktur for å tillate at den modnes…

Lifted citrus- and pear-scented refreshment describes this wine's purpose. Zesty lemon peel balanced by lots of green pear fruit makes a winning combination.

This blend of 27% Mourvèdre, 23% Cinsault, 18% Counoise, 17% Grenache and 15% Syrah by the Fess Parker family shows cherry cola and concentrated plum on the nose. Blackberry and other purple fruits p…

Slate, plum, red fruits, and baking spices of cinnamon and clove show on the nose of this wine from a longtime vineyard east of Solvang. It's fairly light in body, but with pleasing purple fruit flav…

Subtle aromas and flavors of crisp apple and cherry, a dry composition, fine texture and crisp finish make this rather reserved and well balanced. This reliable standby is the kind of bubbly to have…

The somewhat light red-purple color does not mean that this medium-bodied wine lacks flavor. Toasty, smoky, caramel aromas from oak carry over to the bold and almost sweet flavors, powering over mode…

Tastes considerably fruitier and more full bodied than your typical Sangiovese, no doubt because winemaker Mitch Cosentino added Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc to the blend. The wine retains Sangioves…

Like most Colomé Malbecs, this is purple in color, with concentrated aromas of rubber, herbs and jammy blackberry. A thick, almost soupy palate is chewy and cushioned, while saturated black-fruit fla…

This is the top wine from the estate, a pure expression of the local Négrette. It is a wood-aged wine, from organic grapes, rich and structured. With intense tannins, spice and young fruit and wood n…

Pure Blaufränkisch, giving sweet fruit, an earthy series of tannins and fresh acidity. Pepper and spicy black currants give texture and a bright, red-hued finish.

Moderately soft, loose-knit, and lightly herbal, this pure, single-vineyard Cabernet is a modest but charming effort with warm currant fruit. The aging in French and American oak shows a little too a…

Puro Sangue is made entirely from Sangiovese and shows violet, underbrush and black fruit aromas. The palate delivers black cherry and licorice notes, with hints of chocolate and spice as well as a s…

Nice aromas of cherry fruit and sweetness are perfectly clean, while the palate is slightly spunky and high in acid, with wild-berry flavors running side by side with red cherry and citrus. Has a tar…

A rich, thick, inky purple Petite Sirah with a small amount of Syrah blended in, offering aromas of baked plum, boysenberry and leathery spice. Elegant for the variety, the wine is concentrated and s…

Tastes as ripe, bright and spicy as it smells, with intense, pure flavors of raspberry, strawberry and cherry essence dusted with crushed white pepper, cinnamon and vanilla. Drink this light-bodied,…

Pure, sappy wine juice is the impression this wine leaves. Although it's a 2010, it is so fresh and tangy it might have come straight from the tank. Pomegranate and raspberry are the fruit highlights…

Sugary orange-jam and vanilla flavors are brightened by crisp acidity that gives this wine a clean finish. Lightly-oaked, it's easy to drink on its own, or with appetizers such as tempura, bacon-wrap…

This winery's Santa Barbara bottling has established a track record as a fine, elegant Pinot Noir at a fair price. It's not one you need to age, but it shows a clean, pure approach, with a silky mout…

This is a very nice value wine with balsam wood, almond candy, cola and black-fruit aromas. The palate feels pure and fresh, with a ton of plum, berry, cocoa and tobacco flavors. It's smooth, long an…

Dusty apple and white peach aromas provide a nice greeting. The wine is basic and tangy in terms of feel, with lemon-lime, bitter lettuce, banana, nectarine and pineapple flavors. While not exactly c…

This playful, drink-now blend of 64% Counoise and 36% Cinsault is great for those seeking to try lesser known Rhône varieties. Rose petals, plum blossoms, hibiscus and gamy notes entertain the nose.…

Vakre dufter viser ren druetypekarakter, med fokus på friske bær og søt urt. Smakene følger etter, med godt balanserte, modne og myke tanniner. En middels fyldig vin som drikkes godt nå.

Friske, mineralske røde fruktaromaer antyder bringebær og plomme. Dette er saftig, sprøtt og pent skåret for en vin under 10 dollar. Et fast grep gir både tanninbitt og finesse, mens rene røde frukts…

Denne vinen presenterer aromaer av blomster og lilla frukt som nesten er dyriske i naturen. Ganen byr på frisk syre og faste, men langt fra utilgjengelige, tanniner. Det er imidlertid renheten som im…
