Vinanmeldelser

Det er såpelignende, gressaktige elementer i buketten til denne lette Grigioen som bidrar til å forme dens muntrere, glade personlighet. Munnfølelsen er ren og enkel, men vinen gjør en god jobb med å…

Dette er en blek, ferskenduftende rosé, med hint av kirsebær også. Blandingen av 40% Cinsault, 30% Grenache og 30% Syrah mangler den livlige syrligheten til noen provençalske roséer, men har i stedet…

Med en svak sødme til smakene av bringebær, kirsebær, rosa grapefrukt, nellik og pepper, balanseres denne rosévinen av en frisk, sitrusaktig syre. Hvis du liker å drikke vin med sushi eller kinesisk…

Eccentric, with sweet and sour tangerine, banana and buttered toast flavors. Crisp acidity provides balance, but the wine is nearing the end of its useful period.

This is a thick, creamy, sun-soaked expression of Sauvignon Blanc that opens with aromas of mature melon, apricot and white almond. It shows dense consistency and would pair with spicy Tandoori India…

The wine makes a raw, sharp first impression that suggests a paring with a dish that is rich in cheese or butter. Fresh aromas of wild berry and white almond follow suit and the wine's overall textur…

Here's a simple and lean Ripasso that could pair with white beans and grilled sausage. There are bright fruit flavors here and enough acidity to cut through meat dishes, yet the wine is fundamentally…

A strong Zinfandel, tannic, high in alcohol and fruity, and brimming with wild forest cherry and raspberry liqueur, exotic spices and sweet sandalwood. Drink it with a juicy cheeseburger, a spicy bee…

Soft and simple, with herb-infused blackberry, cherry, cola, beef jerky and pepper flavors. Finishes dry and nicely spicy, but needs greater structure, especially at this price.

On the dusty, earthy side of the Rhône spectrum, with hints of cordite accenting cherry fruit. It's undeniably fresh and vibrant, just lacks some of the richness characteristic of the 2007 vintage.

A nice Cabernet for drinking now. It's rich in berries, cherries, currants and oak, with smooth tannins and soft acidity. Shows an elaboration that makes it upscale and elegant.

Valpolicella Vigneto Sant'Urbano offers very bright, albeit, one-dimensional aromas of red cherry and blueberry. The mouthfeel is crisp and smooth and the wine promises to pair with light meat or pas…

Here is a creamy, smooth, and obviously well-made Vernaccia, with pretty honey-like aromas backed by peach, pear blossom and exotic fruit. It has a crisp, fruit-driven mouthfeel and ends with pretty…

Grapefruit and lemon aromas entice with this mouthwatering Sauv Blanc from respected producer Simonsig. Refreshing, balanced flavors follow and a spin of minerality gives the wine a food-friendly edg…

Gracia de Chile is doing some good value varietals. This SB is one of them; it's peachy and citrusy on the nose, with melon and grapefruit flavors in wait. The palate has just enough weight and zest…

The color and aromas are true to both Pinot Noir and Chile's Pinot-friendly Casablanca Valley. Dried fruit, citrus and pie cherry aromas take it toward a potpourri of red-fruit flavors. The only weak…

Dry, lean and tight, this is a crisply mineral Sauvignon Blanc that manges to avoid any sense of grassiness or overly herbal notes, instead focusing on a narrow range of fruit flavors: green apple, l…

The Frog, it's called, and, no doubt it could be drunk with frogs' legs. But, with its intense crispness and superfresh, almost Sauvignon Blanc, green flavor, it would be much better with seafood.

This is a lean white wine with pretty aromas of stone fruit and some banana and mango. There's a bit more flesh and pulp here, which makes the wine suitable for freshwater fish or pasta salad.

Here's a good, everyday-style Merlot. It's dry and medium-bodied, with pleasant flavors of black cherries, black currants and oak, finished with a savory edge of tannins. Shows class beyond its price.

Hot, dry and ripe, with strong flavors of grilled blackberries and cherries, red and black currants, tobacco, cocoa and peppery spices. Needs rich fare, like hard cheeses, olive oil, beef and lamb, t…

Dark, meaty and mellow on the nose, with blackberry and a distant hint of tomato leaf. It's a fraction candied and scratchy in the mouth, but the mildly herbal plum and cherry flavors are solid. Swee…

Vermentino is a native grape of Italy that offers fresh tones of chopped basil, lime and stone fruit. This expression is no exception and the wine is well suited for light lunches of pasta or chicken…

Sweet, nutty aromas are akin to banana bread and candle wax, while the palate is creamy and resiny, with oily flavors of baked apple and vanilla. Full-bodied, thick, creamy and sticky; your typical t…
