Vinanmeldelser

Tanninene er fortsatt harde som spiker i denne fem år gamle Cabernet. Det er som å tygge på sandpapir, men smakene av solbær og cassis er kraftige. En gammeldags vin som kan utvikle seg over årene.

Lurer lett, med en myk, halvtørr avslutning, har denne vinen likevel mange andre kvaliteter, inkludert et komplekst spekter av honning-, melon- og kryddersmaker innrammet av hint av våt stein. Den er…

Interessant med hint av melon, steinfrukt og sprø syre, denne lyse, friske hvitvinen opprettholder et nivå av spenning og kremethet. Den balanserer de to personlighetene mot hverandre med stor dyktig…

Dette er et godt priset eksempel på Barossa Cabernet, fylt med karakteristiske noter av sjokolade, mynte og bærfrukt, innpakket i et lag av ristet eik. Den er fyldig, men likevel lett å drikke på gru…

Named after the village of Emeringes where the vineyard plots are situated, this wine offers both tannins and the freshest fruit. A red plum-skin texture gives a tight edge that also adds great fresh…

Big, dry and tannic wine, this is a dense and structured wine. Black chocolate and coffee flavors suggest extraction shows strongly in the tough texture. The wine will be filled out as the black frui…

Full of blackberry fruits and ripe tannins, this wine is spicy and with a perfumed character. It does have a dry core of structure to it along with rich fruits and the smoothing effect of wood aging.…

The alcohol doesn't weigh heavily on this rich wine. The wood aging does, at least for now, giving spice and burnt wood aromas. Underneath there are black fruits that are developing into a rich, perf…

From 62-year-old, dry-farmed vines, the Esola Zinfandel is leathery, full of tobacco and dust surrounded by spicy red fruit. With great structure and savoriness, it's soft with a light, lingering fin…

Gigantic, huge, enormously extracted Zinfandel. So strong, it's practically a food group. Offers tiers of raspberries, cherries, blackberries, black currants, raisins, dark chocolate and spices. The…

As long as the price keeps creeping up on this wine, we're happy to say that the quality seems better and the oak level lower than in past years. This version of Milmanda offers roasted corn, walnut…

Well balanced wine, the entry level of the Conceito range. It has lively acidity and red cherry and strawberry fruits packed with underlying tannins. It is a fresh wine, showing the lighter side of t…

Named after the Portuguese word for the sommelier's tastevin, the wine is rich with juicy red fruits. It has a firm structure that emphasizes the wine's youth showing that it should develop. Densely…

Ripe and juicy, this full-bodied wine has black plum and berry fruits that are well integrated into the juicy acidity and ripe tannins. The wine will develop quickly, so drink from late 2016.

This is a structured wine, displaying black currant and spice notes. Still young, with grippy tannins and a dusty texture, this will develop quickly into a round and fruity wine. Drink from late 2016.

A new label for MacMurray Ranch, this Pinot Gris is stony in fresh nectarine, pear and mango, wrapped in a creamy texture that develops fleshy flavors of fig in the glass. The fruit is sourced from b…

Based in the village of Beaujeu, this producer has made a dense wine that needs time for the fruits to develop. It is juicy with acidity that is beginning to show through the tannins. Give this cru w…

A fine entry-level Pinot Noir to introduce J. Christopher's expansive single vineyard offerings. This is balanced and true to variety, with clean Pinot cherry cola fruit flavor. There is just a delic…

This very fairly priced Merlot from the Cosumnes River sub-section of Lodi has a juicy berry roundness that makes it inviting to drink, and softly textured all around. On the long finish is a remarka…

A firmly tannic wine, its dry core surrounded by dark plum skin and damson flavors. It has weight, a potential for richness that will develop over the next 2–3 years. Solid and chunky aftertaste.

Despite being less expensive, this is more expressive and fruitier than the Crozes-Hermitage. Pineapple, melon and hints of stone fruit and mango are reasonably full and rich for a wine that's labele…

This is the entry-level wine from this estate situated in the small area of Coteaux Varois. It is a really fruity blend of Grenache and Cinsault. Bright red fruits and crisp acidity give a dry wine w…

Very rich, extracted and soft in tannins and acids, a melt-in-your-mouth Zin with almost sweet flavors of milk chocolate, crushed ripe cherries, licorice, caramelized wood and oodles of black pepper.…

This is a good, full-bodied, dry Cabernet that delivers with plenty of varietal personality. Shows very ripe, concentrated blackberry, cherry and currant flavors, with plenty of sweet oak, and is tan…
