Vinanmeldelser

Dette er Pepper Bridge Merlot, og den uttrykker vakkert vinmarkens kjennetegn: friske fruktaromaer av jordbær og bringebær, bredt fordelt over ganen, og støttet opp av syrlige syrer og lette tanniner…

Tannic and astringent at first taste, this wine opens up into a more complex and interesting play of dark fruits and darker flavors. Smoke, earth, char and espresso components are set against tight b…

A very pretty shade of pink, this blend of 89% Grenache and 11% Syrah shows crisp nectarine and peach, squeezed lime, fragrant honeydew, jasmine, strawberry ice cream, sweet onion and a green-mint tw…

Softer and gentler than a Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine, from one of the best but least known of Napa's mountain appellations, offers a wealth of oak-influenced cherry flavors. It finishes dry and sp…

Starting out as a very tannic, closed wine, this is one for the cellar. The question is how long. It's a big, dry, ripe Cab, with extracted blackberry, blueberry and cedar flavors, and while it shoul…

This is very good wine, showing total dryness, richness of tannins and herb-laden blackberry fruit. The tannins impress with their dry astringency, but the fruit is so rich and intense, the wine so b…

This is a very feminine sparkler with a beautiful bouquet of fresh white rose and jasmine. It has a delicate, pulpy consistency and would pair well with zucchini flowers stuffed with mozzarella chees…

Tannic and astringent at first taste, this wine opens up into a more complex and interesting play of dark fruits and darker flavors. Smoke, earth, char and espresso components are set against tight b…

Nicely perfumed on the nose, this Merlot has 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah blended in, giving it a well-rounded composition and bright black cherry around firm, still prominent tannins. It cou…

Balance and intensity are two of the main characteristics that distinguish this bottling. The central thrust of the wine is carried forward by youthful berry and cherry aromas, with pretty background…

The grapes used for this wine underwent the appassimento process for 21 days, and the wine was aged for 18 months in French oak. The result is an intense, complex wine, with red fruit, spice and toba…

This is an elegant, focused wine that shows balanced aromas of fruit and spice, with touches of espresso and tobacco in the background. Its personality is austere and masculine, with natural heft and…

This offers savory tones of smoked bacon, cured meat, licorice, candied fruit and leather. The finish is very smooth, long and polished.

If you like power, this is the wine you want. The heat from the alcohol is definitely noticeable, but it's also nicely balanced by the thick extraction, soft texture and ripe berry flavors. High alco…

Just under five years in age, this wine's Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant profile shows through its full-bodied mouthfeel, dense tannins and cassis flavor. It's a big, new-oaky wine that's forward with c…

Reserved aromas of flowers, anise, plum and barrel spice lead to compact fruit and tannins with mouthwatering acids. Give it time to open up.

Gossamer-light in texture, this delicate Gewürztraminer seems to whisper tones of apricot, blossom and peach on the nose and palate. A shade off dry, it's an elegant, mineral-toned wine. Drink now to…

This is indicated as a reserve-level selection, but at the moment remains unfocused, and even a bit dilute. Tart fruits and tight tannins never quite fit together. The drying finish carries a hint of…

The nose of this bottling from a stone-strewn vineyard in the heart of the appellation is very restrained, offering wet concrete, lime and lemon pith scents, with a touch of sweet chive. Pink grapefr…

This 60-40 blend combines Shiraz's blackberry fruit with Cab's slightly herbal notes to make a pretty marriage. It shows enough firmness to stand up to rich, fatty meats now, or to sustain it through…

Extra brut means that this Pinot Noir-based bubbly is drier than Schramsberg's regular brut. Even at the age of more than seven years, it's aggressive in bubbly acidity, with a scoury mouthfeel frami…

This is an intriguing wine, with notes of dried sage, fresh herbs, mineral and black tea. The palate offers sweet, dense, layered vanilla, clove and cherry flavors backed by dry tannins. Still young,…

A blend of Sangiovese and 10% Colorino, this opens with aromas of red berry, fragrant flower, oak and a whiff of menthol. The firm palate delivers red cherry, raspberry, espresso, toasted oak and dri…

Toasted notes of almond and spice give this expression of Cabernet Sauvignon momentum and density. Blackberry, moist earth and tobacco aromas make up the generous bouquet.
