Vinanmeldelser

Syltet og bunnfallspreget på nesen, denne kosher Cava mangler kraft og bobler. Smaker av vårløk, grønn urt og grønn banan avsluttes på samme måte, med urteaktige toner i front. 100 % Macabeo.

Transparent i fargen, med en nese som er både lett og luftig, er dette en frisk, tørr vin med et svakt eiket preg og en kraftfull gane. Smaker av rød plomme, bringebær, jordbær og solbær er dempet, o…

Støvete aromaer av hvit frukt kommer med et hint av fyrstikk på nesen. Smaken er ubalansert, med melon- og palaya-smaker som blir pulpy og bitre på ettersmaken.

Denne hvite Garnacha starter med en salin nese som inneholder aromaer av pære, papaya, salami og skinke. Den er litt slapp på ganen, med bitre, oljete smaker av papaya, melon, lychee og salt. Det er…

Nectarine and citrus aromas are solid, while the palate is more racy, sharp and linear than some, with narrow, semisour flavors of lemon and orange. Decent feel, maybe a little high in acid, and show…

This is a touch stalky and rough on the nose, while in the mouth it's raw, choppy and boxed in. Cherry and plum flavors pick up speed on the palate and taste slightly gamy and burnt on the finish.

Big boysenberry aromas are lively, a bit minty and fresh, while the extracted palate has a fruit-driven personality, ample tannins and dark wild-berry flavors. Young, bouncy and tangy on the finish.…

Decent and quaffable but does not compare to the winery's Verdejo. This is prickly and full of pine needle, juniper and other sharp aromas. The palate has a good feel but pickled, briney flavors. Ske…

A little rusty in color, with earthy, stemmy, baked fruit aromas mixed with a dose of dried leaves. Seems a lot like Cabernet Franc with its herbal, leafy overtones and dry plum and cherry flavors. F…

Raspberry and rubber aromas are solid if not refined, while the firm palate is sweet and full of black cherry flavor. Rough, tumble and unsophisticated in the mouthfeel department but ripe and tasty…

Dusty and neutral on the nose, with a hint of wild flower and mineral to stir interest. The palate is dry despite having some size and plumpness; flavors of apple, peach and papaya are crisp and lean.

Matchstick, mushroom and licorice nib aromas add character to this fading but textured wine that struggles to offer peach and nectarine flavors. Expect additional softness with each passing month, an…

Interesting and unique blends get bonus points, but in the long run this conglomeration of indigenous grapes from Mallorca is a touch too resiny and bland to really deserve a call out. But for soft m…

Magenta-tinted and ready to go; that in a nutshell is this easy, no-oak blend of Tempranillo and Grenache. It's fruity to the max, with aromas of boysenberry and black cherry as well as similar flavo…

Approach this simple Tempranillo with modest expectations and the jammy cherry aromas and flavors will strike you as pure and fresh. Complexity and style are not part of the equation, but an unoaked…

A warm vintage (2006) may be causing this wine to expire prematurely, but tasted in 2008 it seems to be losing its drive. The nose has wild flower and melon aromas, while the palate shows simple apri…

Dusty berry and cherry aromas include candied notes of cherry cough drop and marshmallow. Simple and choppy in feel, with some resiny oak character, this tastes like red plum and vanilla, while the a…

Dark, mossy, rubbery blackberry aromas are solid. In the mouth, this is punishing, with raw tannins that suggest grapeskins. Dark, chocolaty, savory, spicy flavors of blackberry and black plum finish…

This feels good in a regular sense, with apple-driven acidity and leesy notes of vanilla. A standard, zesty, pithy palate offers briny, slightly bitter flavors of peach and pulpy citrus, while the fi…

Mild citrus aromas of grapefruit are offset by bready, leesy, yeasty scents. This has a citric mouthfeel with the suggestion of lime. Flavors of orange peel and gooseberry finish briny, with a puply…

This orange-colored rosado offers aromas of peach flesh, peach pit and sea shell. Dry, pithy, mildly bitter flavors of citrus and stone fruits end pithy. Contains 25% white Viura.

Fully ripe black-fruit aromas are rubbery and edgy. This feels jammy, heavy and simple. Flavors of syrupy blackberry and crème de cassis finish sweet and grapy with a sense of syrupy weight.

Chemical resiny aromas stand out more than fruit. This Viura-led blend feels tight, tangy and acidic. Salty flavors of persimmon lack fruitiness. This 12% ABV wine from a cold vintage tastes salty on…

A light-gold color and mild white-fruit aromas set up a palate with lightly oxidized apple flavors. This Viura seems to be losing steam given that the finish is more bready and cidery in flavor than…
