Vinanmeldelser

Det er en letthet i denne 90 % Cabernet Sauvignon og 10 % Petit Verdot som overrasker, noe som gir en vennlig og tilgjengelig start. Solbær, bringebær og sedertre blander seg rundt runde tanniner og…

Store mengder fersk estragon gir en grønn, urteaktig tone til cassis- og svart plomme-smakene i denne pene vinen. Gjennomtrengende, faste tanniner gir et støt på avslutningen, og understreker en stra…

Det kan hende denne vinen trenger tid i kjelleren, men akkurat nå er den tøff og tanninrik. Det finnes noen fine smaker av bjørnebær, solbær, krydret plomme og sedertre, og den kan blomstre etter 200…

Her er en Chianti Classico med en søtduftende nese som minner om røde roser, mandelblomst og julekrydder. Den har god intensitet og rike toner av kirsebær og krydder som livner opp dens myke tekstur.

Du kan smake den varme solen i de krydrede bærsmakene i denne Zin. Den er nesten overmoden, med antydninger av bitre rosiner, før den trekker seg tilbake og lar cassis og kirsebær-likør skinne gjenno…

Denne eikealderte blandingen av Sangiovese (50 %), Merlot og Cabernet Sauvignon åpner med en dyp rubinrød farge og aromaer av svart kirsebær, solbær og eksotisk krydder. Jevn, søt bærfrukt preger ett…

Med harde tanniner, skarp syre og tørr, noe streng munnfølelse, skiller denne vinen seg ut for sin kompleksitet, blandet med en dæsj Malbec. Smaker av bjørnebær, solbær, cassislikør og espresso gir i…

Harmonious on the nose and palate with ripe black plums and cassis enveloped by a layer of char and smoke. Medium to full bodied with structured acidity, it's a straightforward but sound Merlot with…

Very tannic and dry, especially for a 2007 Cabernet, not showing the fatness and opulence of that acclaimed vintage. There are some buried treasure blackberry and cassis flavors, but the wine is so t…

Highlighted in Rainier cherry and cassis fruit, with a core of high acidity, this is a drinkable, affordable red wine worth looking for.

Here's a fresh and fruity Ripasso that opens with lively aromas of black cherry, cassis, spice and dark vanilla bean. The wine also shows a touch of heat and jammy red fruit on the close.

Flavors of plum, cherry, cassis, chalky earth, smoke and bell pepper. Still tight and chewy, with suggestions that the fruit from this difficult vintage didn’t attain full ripeness. A good effort fro…

Made of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Canaiolo, this recalls cassis and cooking spice on the nose. The palate delivers ripe red plum laced with vanilla, softly framed by tannins. Drink now–2019.

Superripe, such that it's medicinal and pruny. The nose reeks of reduced blueberry and cassis, while the palate is soft, low in acidity and full of ripe, dark raisin, prune and spice cake flavors. If…

This is a Cab-based Bordeaux blend, and it shows Paso's ability to produce a ripe, gentle red wine that's immediately appealing. There's a nice earthiness to the cassis flavors, and a rich, tannic st…

Made using grapes from the celebrated Montegradella cru, this easy red offers quality fruit aromas of black cherry, cassis and jammy blackberry. On the finish, a spice note and a light shade of tobac…

This is packed tightly with candied fruit, cassis, tar, licorice and dark caramel notes. It shows its age and probably should be consumed within the next year or two. The palate offers a clean, polis…

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…

Slightly rich on the nose, with aromas of baked black plum, campfire and alcohol. The palate is flush yet a touch acidic; but there's enough body and quality fruit to support the acids, resulting in…

Soft and easy, with ripe, fruity cherry jam, cassis, mocha and spice flavors. The tannins are strong, and may give the wine some ageability, but you're better off drinking it soon.

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…

Floral, fresh and just big enough to make it worth a go. There's a bit of everything to this nice-priced Cab, including leafiness, red fruit, toast, chocolate and cassis. There's also a bit of heat a…

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,…

Whiffs of spice and dark toast lend warmth to ripe black cherry aromas on this Syrah-Viognier blend. The palate is brisk with tart cassis and plum flavors wrapped up tightly within layers of mouthfil…
