Vinanmeldelser

Lyst fruktaroma som villbringebær, rød eple, hvit mandel og blåbær kommer tydelig frem. Dette er en stille vin, men det er et snev av tonicskum i munnen som følges av en lang rekke enkle fruktnyanser.

Denne kraftige Barbera del Monferrato tilbyr overraskende tykk konsentrasjon og mye intens, lys frukt. Det er en blekkaktig, mørk vin med klare nyanser av kirsebær og bjørnebær, og selv om det er en…

Røykfylt lukt og ristet, med aromaer av fersken, melon og cider. Kroppen er solid og holdes sammen av fin syre, mens smakene av banan, melon og sitrus er søte, men ikke helt kandiserte i naturen. Nes…

The Roman numeral 23 is an indication of the vineyard age; in the blend is 20% Cabernet planted at the same time. This is stiff and herbal, with brambly, wild raspberry and light cherry fruit and a d…

Classic Meursault, big and bold with a rounded texture. That said, the wine does have a crisp edge of green apples to balance the spiced toast, which is very evident at this stage.

While softly smoky on the nose and palate, this honey-kissed Traminer is gorgeously perfumed with notes of orange blossoms and waxy white florals. Lusciously mouth quenching with a pithy, citrus-flav…

Soft and warm, with toast and butter adding richness to the white peach and green plum fruits. The acidity and texture are very evident, giving this wine a certain nervous energy.

A good wine to drink now for its sweet, ripe berry and mocha flavors and smoky coat of oak. It has smooth tannins and a spicy finish. Give it a good decant to let it breathe for a few hours.

A firmly tannic wine, with a woody core. It shows stalky black currant fruit along with tense acidity. At this stage, it is rough round the edges and could use another year.

Fabiano's pretty Valpolicella Classico Superiore offers very nice aromas of plump red cherry followed by spice, leather, tobacco and moist earth. It's a simple wine in the mouth but it's not without…

Fiore di Campo is a blended white wine from northeast Italy and as its Italian name suggests, there are indeed many aromas here that recall fresh field flowers. Distant accents of dried hay, crushed…

An aggressive, forceful blend of one-third each Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc and Merlot that's scratchy and a bit green on the nose, but also very dark and heavy with berry aromas. Feels raw and tan…

Made from an Italian grape called Incrocio Manzoni 6.0.13, this fresh white wine opens with aromas of honeydew melon, peach, passion fruit and almond paste. It shows a silky, smooth feel in the mouth.

Here's a big, lusty Syrah, unapologetic for its lush, ripe flavors and easy deliciousness. It's so fruity in cherries, blackberries, cola and dark chocolate, it's almost a dessert wine, except that i…

Made in a soft, user-friendly style, the 2008 DB Family Selection Petite Sirah offers up a flavorful mouthful of plum and baking spices. It's medium-bodied, with a silkiness to the structure that bel…

Pepper and black fruits comprise this pure Petite Sirah from one of Washington's warmest AVAs. Underscored with herb and earth, it is a far cry from the jammy monsters of California, but nicely made…

Bright and clean with freshly pressed apples and pears on the nose, this is an easy-quaffing, medium-bodied Croatian Malvasia to pair with seafood and other light fare. Luscious on the palate with a…

This blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah had no problem achieving ripeness. It explodes in blackberry, cherry, chocolate, licorice, teriaki beef, black pepper and sandalwood flavors tha…

Quite firm and focused, with a dominating scent of cut tobacco. The black cherry fruit is set against juicy acids, and rolls into a finish with streaks of licorice and more of that cut tobacco flavor.

Lots of exuberant fruit in this stylish blend of Petite Sirah, Zin, Cab Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. With its cherry candy and sweet oak flavors, it carefully treads the line between rustic and chic.…

On the bright and crisp side, this is a lively, fresh wine, mingling green fruits with toast and a more opulent richness.

A pace off the 2007, but a pretty good Zin. Despite being a little too soft and candy-sweet, it sure is tasty, offering an array of ripe wild red berry, currant, licorice, cocoa, spice and sandalwood…

There's a ton of ginger spice mingling nicely with the strong floral component of honeysuckle, orange blossom and dried hibiscus flowers in the nose of this wine. Ripe peach and grapefruit oil suppor…

Over-oaked, with caramelized vanilla aromas and flavors dominating. Under all that is a pretty good Cabernet, with blackberry and cherry flavors and smooth tannins.
