Vinanmeldelser

An obscure Catalonian wine made from indigenous grapes, this pricey oddball starts with bubblegum and candy aromas mixed with smoke and meat. The color is dark and the wine is a bit rough. But in a c…

Winemaker Nick Goldschmidt has turned out a Shiraz that seems a bit conflicted. It's only medium-bodied, yet packs in overripe flavors of cooked berries laced with dark chocolate and espresso. The pe…

Made using organically farmed fruit, this blend of rare indigenous grapes from Puglia opens with a dusty mineral shading, plus notes of ripe blackberry, prune and cigar box. It is sweet and chewy on…

Stainless fermented and aged, this tart, apple-flavored Pinot Gris is close to fresh cider in flavor. The alcohol is low enough that it is almost invisible. Just pure, juicy, clean fruit comes throug…

A 70-30 blend of Catarratto and Chardonnay, this wine offers enormous freshness in the form of citrus blossom, white almond, honey, lemon mousse and basil leaf notes. It feels silky, crisp and light.

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…

This pretty expression of Pecorino opens with a fragrant bouquet of wild flower, stone fruit and sweet honey. The wine holds firmly to the palate thanks to the natural richness of this indigenous gra…

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…

This sweet red wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of blackberry and dark chocolate that lead to flavors of dried plum, honey and black raspberry in the mouth. There is enough acidity to pre…

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…

The apple and cider aromas are vibrant while the palate offers plenty of dry tart fruit flavors. It brings appeal.

Ripe, leaning to almost overripe, green and yellow-apple aromas lead to cidery flavors. Tart acidity backs it all up.

From vines in the vineyards behind the Côtes de Nuits, this wine is warm, smooth and ripe. It offers yellow fruits as well as rich apple and enough acidity to give a crisp edge. It's attractive and w…

Jasmine, lychee and tea leaf notes perfume this light-footed, slightly off-dry Gewürztraminer. Fresh citrus and stone fruit flavors are crisp and easy going, finishing on a more herbaceous tone. Drin…

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…

Eight vineyards and six grapes go into this table red; in some vintages this hits the mark, as it does here. It has just enough flesh to plump out the blackberry and black cherry fruit; and the tanni…

You might think this was a big Pinot Noir, like a Santa Lucia Highlands, if you blind-tasted it. It's thick and forward in blackberry, currant and cherry flavors, with a firm tannic structure, and ve…

Nice and familiar, and very much in the sweet, creamy style. There's almond candy and caramel on the palate and then maple syrup on the finish. Soft and sweet throughout, with just enough acidity and…

Way too oaky, with buttered toast, honey and caramel flavors dominating. The underlying wine, which is crisp in acidity and suggests limes, peaches and apricots, just isn't strong enough to handle al…

Jean Lissague's blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Muscadelle is soft and full in the mouth with just enough acidity to keep it crisp. Melon and spiced-lemon create a tangy touch that gives the win…

Vinen er frisk, stram, full av attraktiv syre og sitrussmaker. Det er et mineralelement i vinen som gir teksturen et fint bitt. Den er fruktig, lys med syre og klar til å drikkes.

Pressede eple- og pærenoter blir fremhevet av hint av kanel og nellik i denne friske, tilgjengelige vinen. Den er moden og rund, men balansert av et stikk av sitron-lime syre som henger igjen gjennom…

Sitron skall, brioche og bringebær aromaer dominerer denne lyserosa vinen. Den er ganske søt for en brut, men gir fortsatt glede med sine bringebærsmaker.

Dette tilbyr dempede aromaer av middelhavskrat, hakket mynte, moden svartskinnet frukt og et hint av mentol. Den lettsindige ganen gir tørket svart kirsebær, sviske, kanel og et snev av stjerneanis i…
