Vinanmeldelser

Fantastisk, morsom vin. Aromaene er vakre: cola, svart bringebær, mørk te, vanilje, røyk og støvete krydder. På ganen er den klar, delikat. Den ser ut til å flyte, samtidig som det er kraftig frukt.…

Utrolig rik, med modne noter av kirsebær, plomme, krydder og urter i front. Alt er innrammet i fyldige, brede tanniner som er faste men fløyelsmyke. Lang avslutning.

Kombinerer en delikat kropp med kraftfulle smaker for å skape en feminin vin med betydelig kraft og finesse. Den unngår søtladenhet, heller mot mindre moden jord og tomat, selv om det finnes nydelige…

Fra den gamle vinmarken bak huset til Don Hartford, er denne 15,7% alkohol Zin stor—men den er ikke en bråkmaker. Den er full av mørke, rike bjørnebær, lagdelt med sjokolade og svart pepper. Den fløy…

Mer krydret enn de andre Hartford Zinfandel-ene, med fokus på svart pepper og nellik. Tett bjørnebær og sjokolade gir et solid grunnlag for krydderkompleksitetene. Hint av knuste brennesler gir enda…

En fantastisk fyldig Pinot, preget av frisk kirsebær, jordbær, plomme, kanel og urter. Eksplosivt duftende, rik og livlig på ganen, hvor den avslutter langt og fyldig. En ekte vinner fra denne spesia…

Fra denne rike årgangen kommer denne deilige, åpne vinen. Smaker av tropisk frukt og fersken skaper en overdådig og generøs følelse, med noter fra lagring på tre som gir kompleksitet. Den er konsentr…

The deep, liqueur-like nose shows almost sweet baking aromas, like egg-enriched breads. Rich and weighty; verging on opulent in the mouth, with honey, almond, orange and apricot flavors. The long spi…

The wines from this remote ranch off of Jalama Road combine mossy forest-floor touches with dark hearty aromas, in this case showing pine, rust, juniper, thyme and purple fruit on the nose. The textu…

This firmly structured wine is packed with solid tannins as well as ripe juicy red fruits. It comes from the upper part of the Rugiens Premier Cru, one of the top sites in Pommard. Dense and needing…

Among the most northerly of the run of Beaune premier crus, the wine is structured but the structure is cushioned by the ripe red-berry fruits to give a generous wine. Backed by tannins, the wine wil…

A firmly structured wine, solid with tannins and with structure. The wine is also full of fruit potential, ripe with red berries. It is dense wine that needs to age. Drink from 2025.

Here's another raring red from Bordeaux-born Rivière that needs time to settle. Ripe aromas are all about fruit, while this wine is clamping on the palate, with a sense of skins one hopes will resolv…

This is a beautifully made, elegant wine that combines classic aromas of toasted bread, ripe apples and almonds with mouthfilling flavors of vanilla, lemon and cream while maintaining great balance f…

Deep and hearty aromas of blackberry, candied violet and dried lavender are enhanced by a touch of roasted pork on the nose of this red by Adam Lee. The full-bodied palate is framed by soft yet struc…

This bottling from a vineyard owned by the Fess Parker family is extremely gamy out of the gates, with raw lamb aromas lifted up by peppercorns and laid atop elderberry fruit. The lighter-bodied pala…

This bottling from the famously rich wine-making vineyard shows incredible restraint on the nose, starting with the reserved aromas of lavender, white pepper, bergamot, pomegranate and snappy raspber…

Dark red cherry, crushed carnations, rose petals and a hint of nutmeg spice show on the nose of this bottling from an increasingly famous vineyard in this region. The palate's rich expression combine…

This is a structured wine, dark and firm as tannins meld with the ripe berry fruits. It has the weight to have great potential. The wine, with its concentration and dense tannins, will be ready to dr…

This is a ripe generous wine with soft tannins and already delicious red fruits. It lives up to the ideal of Volnay, rich and sumptuous, although with an attractive cut of acidity to balance. Drink t…

This suave and sophisticated wine is so smooth to sip that its depth of flavor is a little deceptive. A subtle potpourri of clove, cinnamon, black tea and blackberry aromas swirl around a great core…

Richness is on full display in this bottling by Steve Martell, with baked black plum, vanilla, allspice and nearly a prune scent on the nose. Caramel flavors of blackened blackberry pie with vanilla…

All of the fruit for this wine comes from Monette's Vineyard in the Rocks District, and it was fermented using 75% whole clusters. The aromas are fresh and perfumed, recalling red raspberry, pipe tob…

Aratás puts more bottle age on their Petite Sirah than most, and the extra maturity shows. Wonderful oak spices fill the aroma and extend into the fully ripe and richly fruity flavors of this big but…
