There's something off in the aroma, which is herbal and peppery. Turns richer once you take a sip, with pleasantly dry, crisp cherry candy, white pepper and oak flavors. The vineyard is in a cool sit…
The vineyard is in Coombsville, a cool part of the valley that recently received official recognition as an AVA. The wine, which was made from 100% Cabernet, is soft, sweet and oaky, showing simple b…
A good everyday Pinot Noir, tart in acids and with some edgy tannins. But it has the variety's nice, silky texture, with rich cherry, rosehip tea and sandalwood flavors.
Fresh easy notes of pear drop rise from the glass. The very slender palate has lemony freshness but also residual sweetness and a pithy phenolic edge. This is fresh, off dry and just balanced. Drink…
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…
A fresh and fruity wine with soft tannins and black currant fruits. The wine has the warmth of the vintage, giving some roundness the texture and stalkiness which would be more apparent in a lesser v…
Firmly tannic, the wine shows the structure of the vintage well. It also brings out red berry fruits, with a herbal character that cuts the richness. The wine needs time, so drink from 2015.
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…
Not very expressive, but this wine's fragrance does reveal delicate aromas of rose and berry, which carry over to the palate. It doesn't have quite enough fruit richness to support the vigorous, almo…
Reflecting the difficulties of the vintage, this is a slightly edgy, coarsely textured wine, with sweet, oaky notes framing cherries and roasted beets. Try it with something slightly rustic, like bee…
Bacca Bianca from the vineyards of Tenuta di Budonetto, is a blend of Inzolia, Grecanico and Chardonnay. This wine is slightly muddled aromatically, but it does possess a fresh, zesty mouthfeel.
A soft, yet also mineral-textured wine. Its lemon and grapefruit flavors are crisp, reflecting the taut structure of the vintage. A fresh wine, with a crisp finish, ready to drink.
Lighter than Malibu Oak's Cabernet Sauvignon, this Cab Franc shows the variety's characteristic herby notes and is otherwise easy and light, with enough depth to pair well with a range of meats.
One of the new generation of regional wines, this Grüner Veltliner exhibits all the open flavors of the variety, with some spice and pepper, pear skin texture and a fresh, flowery acidity. Drink this…
This is a hard Prosecco to score. You expect the soft freshness and peachy tones that normally define this category of Italian sparkler, yet here, you get a more sophisticated and slightly oxidized e…
The wine has simple red-berry flavors and a light layer of tannins. The acidity is probably too intense—a product of the vintage. But it is an attractive wine to drink now, finishing with its crisp a…
An earthy vein in the aromas and flavors keeps this wine from being a classic. Nonetheless it has ripe fruit flavors and a relatively smooth texture in spite of the variety's typical firm tannins.
Du må bare elske navnet (det har vært laget Henry II, III og IV, med forskjellige blandinger av druer). Denne er 43 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 24 % Merlot, 19 % Cabernet Franc, 9 % Syrah og 5 % Malbec. Ne…
En rustikk, men smakfull vin med smaker av bjørnebær, solbær, tobakk og sedertre. Laget av Zinfandel, Syrah og Cabernet Sauvignon i omtrent like store deler, er den tørr, tanninrik og beregnet på å d…
Med en uvanlig lav alkoholprosent for årgangen virker frukten i denne blandingen ikke å være fullt modnet, med sterke aromaer av nysnittet jalapeño sammen med bladaktige urter. Smakene er syrlige og…
Søt vanilje eik gir denne fyldige, tropiske vinen sitt kjennetegn, en herlig smak av fruktfokusert tilgjengelighet som risikerer å bli overdrevet. Fra Vine Hill Ridge Vineyard i hjertet av appellasjo…
Duftene av bunnfall og fersken er ganske lette med tanke på druesorten. Smakene av steinfrukt er tilbakeholdne og behagelige, men druesorten virker å gå tapt.
Røykfylte, ristet valnøttaromaer og eikeaktige smaker gjør denne fyldige vinen som om volumet er skrudd høyt opp. Den føles fast og tanninrik med bred munnfølelse, dens ristet eikeegenskaper dekker m…
Sterke aromaer og smaker av vanilje og dill overskygger druetypens kirsebær og grønt urt. Det skjer noen gode ting, men treverket kommer i veien.
