Mye rik, moden bringebær- og kirsebærsyltetøyfrukt i denne tørre, frisk syrlige Pinot Noir. Eik kommer til uttrykk som smørdristet kanel-toast. Den er litt ujevn i tanninene, men deilig å drikke nå,…

Denne vinen, fra avsidesliggende baskiske vinmarker i Pyreneene, er en blanding av Petit og Gros Manseng og Petit Courbu. Den er veldig aromatisk, med fascinerende røykaktige, hvite frukter og en hon…

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…

Denne 100 % varietalen er laget helt med druer fra Red Mountain Vineyard. Lys og aromatisk, vinen byr på noter av kirsebærkordial, svart lakris og vanilje, med flyktige stoffer forsterket, men fortsa…

Raised in stainless steel, without oak infuence, this wine is rich, savory and dry. A small percentage of Pinot Grigio brings a note of green apple to the flavors of citrus, white flower and honey.

Half of this wine was barrel fermented in mostly new French oak; the other half done in stainless. Peaches and butter are the main flavors, with a soft, pretty finish that brings a streak of caramel.

While this wine is certainly dry, it holds a hint of honey in the baked-apple flavor and tight texture. It's still very young and needs to open up until 2015 to give a less shocking, more rounded aci…

This is a fully formed mouthful of a wine, meaty and smoky and brisk in savory fruit. From one of Terre Rouge's higher-elevation sites, it signals mountain fruit for sure, in terms of tannins and str…

From the least-known of the Beaujolais cru villages, this wine is soft and supple in character with ripe, firm tannins to support the fruitiness. Red berries and acidity give the wine its bright aspe…

Rich and forward in jammy black cherry, raspberry and spice flavors, this Zinfandel drinks well now. It's a tannic wine, as you'd expect off Howell Mountain, but those tannins are refined and sweet.…

An ambitious wine that explores new blending territory. Shows fine structure, with brisk acidity and smooth tannins framing ripe cherry fruit, bacon and sandalwood flavors. Lacks a certain finesse, b…

From the mountainous terrain of Stagecoach Vineyard, this wild, concentrated wine is more like Cabernet in many ways. Red licorice, bitter tannin and whiffs of leather saddle commingle against brambl…

Made in the modern style, with fairly high alcohol, lots of sweet oak, and massively extracted cherry, berry and mocha flavors. It's smooth in tannins and complex, and is showing its best now and ove…

This large-production Zin has lots to like, beginning with the smooth, dry tannins and continuing through the classic flavors of black currants, briary forest berries and exotic spices. It contains s…

This is one of Lynmar's most expensive Chardonnays, of their six 2011s. It's also one of the most forward and oakiest. Your first impression is of sweet buttered toast, sprinkled with brown sugar and…

A sturdy, slightly chunky wine, the 2008 Swan Pinot Noir features ample black cherry and plum fruit, and complementary coffee-tinged oak. With its dark color and assertive flavors, it's certainly try…

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…

Chunky aromas of peach and melon are briny and pickled. With high acidity maintaining shape, there's pinch to the palate. Typical Elqui Valley flavors of mustard and briny apple finish full, viscous…

Briny lemon-lime aromas come with a note of scrambled egg, which is not uncommon for Cava. Fresh and easy across the palate, this tastes of lettuce, dried apple, white pepper and salty brine. A dry,…

This blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon offers fresh blackberries on cold slate and a light herbal character with dill, oregano and tarragon. A minty quality carries into the sip, where bl…

Stalky, lightly green aromas of tobacco and mountain herbs blend with leathery plum and berry scents in front of a round, full-bodied palate. Loamy, earthy plum flavors come with an herbal covering,…

An element of menthol-cinnamon chewing gum shows on the nose of this wine, grown at high elevations above the Sonoma Valley. High-pitched acidity buoys velvety red fruit, with a clay-like flavor and…

From estate-grown grapes, this opens with sizable, grippy tannins and strong barrel-heavy aromas. It then settles down into layers of blackberry and blueberry, sprinkled with a hint of cinnamon. This…

This balanced wine comes from an Alexander Valley vineyard not far from the Chalk Hill and Russian River appellations. The site is cool enough at night to help the grapes retain acidity and a juicy,…
