Vinanmeldelser

From a head-trained, dry-farmed vineyard, this very delicate and rather light bottling shows minerally lava rock and riverstone aromas, tart red-cherry fruit and a touch of chaparral. The palate's li…

Light pink with a tint of yellow, this bottling combines grapes from Sonoma County, Monterey County and Santa Barbara County to deliver nectarine, bubblegum and wet slate aromas. There is chalky tens…

Supple pink papaya, underripe tangerine and bubblegum scents make for an intriguing combination on the nose of this bottling. The palate is tightly woven and full of citrus-driven acidity, with waves…

Grassy dill and citrus flavors give this Chardonnay a Sauvignon Blanc-style leanness, but it's balanced with notes of buttered toast and vanilla from new French oak. Brisk with acidity, it's the perf…

This estate-grown Pinot Grigio takes the variety's basic citrus, straw, green apple and tropical fruit flavors and lifts them with partial barrel fermentation. It's a rich, but balanced, wine for dri…

The name comes from a Django tune, and also means “clouds” in French. Nothing cloudy here though—it's a pretty, lively, fruit-driven blend with cherry candy flavors. Crisp and fresh, a streak of cola…

Fruity, minerally and nice, with aromas of pear, apple and pineapple that make you want to take a drink. The palate is juicy and fresh, with slate-driven green apple and citrus flavors. Quick on the…

Fiano is an Italian variety, rarely grown in California. In this case it has produced an interesting wine. It feels midway in weight between Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay. Unoaked with a medium-bodied…

This Syrah-dominant blend, with 25% Carignan and 5% Grenache, leads with oak-driven aromas of charred cedar, sweet smoke and vanilla bean that envelop the ripe blackberry and cherry fruit tones. The…

The opulence of this Chard comes at least as much from the buttered toast and caramel notes of oak, as it does from the underlying pineapple and tropical fruit flavors. It's a crowd pleaser. Drink no…

TA firm minerality, like the tang of cold steel, derives from Spring Mountain's soil. That metallic note adds an interesting dimension to the wine's fruitier flavors of apricots, mangoes and peaches.…

Ripe, jammy pineapple, Meyer lemon and nectarine flavors characterize this Chardonnay. It also shows plenty of new oak and lees notes. Rich and flashy, it's fully ready to drink now.

Named after the Estrela mountain range that lies on the east of the Dão, this structured, mineral-driven wine is firm yet packed with juicy red berries and currants that give a fragrant, juicy charac…

This small-production, nouveau-style wine was made without oak or filtering. Simple and juicy, it's festive, with effusive dried cranberry and cola spice notes that are soft and easygoing.

A touch of ripe pear plays into the Golden Delicious notes of the nose. The palate displays the same fruit flavors on its very light and easy fruit-driven palate, supported by freshness and fizzing f…

Reductive oak betrays this wine's light-bodied take on the appellation. Its waxy green apple flavor and bright acidity are deftly wrapped in toastiness.

Expansive, long and tannic, this wine is robust and powerfully concentrated, the flavors a mixture of tart cranberry, raspberry and black tea.

Ren, korrekt og utvilsomt vel laget, denne blandingen av 82 % Cabernet og 18 % Merlot har aromaer av cassis, graham-kjeks og mynte, og tilsetter deretter hint av vanilje og sjokolade på ganen. Det er…

Terre di Tufi er en rik og betydelig hvitvin fra Toscana som er allsidig nok til å matche ristet crostini med trøffelolje, hakkede tomater eller kyllingleverpaté. Den har toner av vanilje, ananas og…

Il Tornese (en blanding av 85 % Chardonnay og aromatisk Riesling) åpner med eikepregede noter av vanilje og ristet kokos støttet av kandisert frukt og butterscotch. Det er et hint av frisk krydder på…

Rik og fyldig, som en sjokoladebakverk dessert med blåbær, bringebær og kirsebærfrukt. Du kan til og med beskrive den som overdådig, men den mangler eleganse og livlig kompleksitet. Drikk nå, etter e…

Dette er en rik Pinot Gris. Smaker som om den har fått full Chardonnay-behandling, med eik og bunnfall, som gir en kremet, søt munnfølelse. Smakene av mandarin, ananas og vaniljestang blir frisket op…

Dette er en typisk frisk New Zealand Sauvignon med mildt vegetale aromaer sammen med den nødvendige antydningen av katteurin og grapefrukt. Dristige smaker av sitron og mandariner utgjør sitruspalett…

Som et utslag som deler fairway i golf, er denne vinen akkurat det massene ønsker: Den er full av grapefrukt, pasjonsfrukt, stikkelsbær og sitrusskall. Syren er imidlertid kraftig, så avslutningen ka…
