Heavy, sweet and super-oaky, like a liquid infusion of buttered popcorn, pineapple jam and vanilla meringue. Will appeal to many, but purists will find it heavy-handed and manipulated.
A hard-edged wine, lean and mineral in character. It has a juicy tartness to it, the berry fruits surrounding a curiously hollow center.
This is exceptionally dark, with a sappy, vinous nose showing black cherry, smoke, sweet chocolate, some stem and a hint of dill. There is more than a hint of pickle barrel, and lots of acid, chalky…
Morande is the biggest producer of Pinot Noir in Casablanca Valley, and this entry-level bottling is a good value to boot. Earthy, forest-fire aromas coat black cherry notes in the bouquet; the palat…
You can almost tell from the look that this is dense and heavy. It has a huge bouquet of wet earth, spice and oak, but not much fruit. In the mouth, it is drying and on the flat side, although still-…
This is the liquid version of buttered toast. It's that oaky. In the nose there's almost no fruit at all, but in the mouth, once you cut through the layers of wood and butter, there's some melon, pea…
A proprietary Cab/Pinot/Nebbiolo blend. Flavors are light and the tannins are tough: a grapey, cherry-candy start that finishes with serious toast and tannin. The mid-palate simply isn't there, and c…
This wine is so dry, sharp, and tart, it's like lemon juice. Some will like it, while others more used to ripe, sweet fruit may find it sour. One thing is for sure, it could use some food. One of tho…
The brownish color indicates that it's fading, and the raisiny, stewed fruit on the nose confirms that initial indications are on target. In the mouth, it's soft, and the cherry fruit has a kirsch-li…
Paola Gloder's estate can do better than this, especially in a vintage like 1997. The wine is already showing signs of aging and it has a lightweight character. The fruit is pleasant enough, with sof…
Pale in color, with delicate Pinot-like aromas of strawberry, beetroot, coffee and hard spices. Drinks lightly fruity, spicy and dry. It's a simple, one-dimensional wine, but a very pretty one, and n…
Raspberry aromas, cherry and strawberry flavors, and a strong hint of milk chocolate throughout best define this Gallo-owned wine. Some raisins and a touch of buttery oak appear late, rendering it a…
A ripe, simple, open, fresh-fruited wine. Attractive sweet fruit with ripe, light tannins make it immediately attractive to drink. For a Riserva, this is too lightweight. As an easy-drinking wine, it…
An interesting Chard that offers quite sweet notes of stewed peaches, orange marmalade and overripe honeydew. Big and a bit clumsy in the mouth, more vibrancy and freshness is needed to keep things i…
A little bit funky and unsettled when you pop the screwcap, but soon it finds its floral, blueberry base. Remains superficial and sweet in the mouth, with candied flavors, vanilla and mild oak. Highl…
Heavy aromas of burnt leaves, rubber and compost overshadow any berry fruit notes, while the palate is creamy in feel, with basic flavors of spiced, earthy cherry and berry. Fairly oaky on the finish…
Opens with hard black cherry aromas and roasted notes, while the palate is robust and not uncomfortable, with herbal cassis and blackberry flavors. Warm and slightly buttery on the finish. Regular st…
Ordinary and one-dimensional. The grapes got superripe under the California sun, offering big flavors of pineapples and peaches, liberally accented with oak. But there's not much going on below the s…
Dark purple in color, with a creamy, candied, berry fruit nose that's potent but not very stirring. The palate shows concentration, but the flavors don't go beyond the basics: cassis, blackberry and…
Denne vinen ser klar ut, med aromaer av tyggegummi, vannmelon og kirsebær. Ganen er jevn og uklar i følelse, mens smaker av melon og fersken er litt oksidert og bitter. En blanding av 50% Tempranillo…
Tropisk i duft, nesten som en luftfrisker, har denne også en oljete, bitter nyanse i buketten. Den fremstår som hakkete og sitrusaktig, med en nøtteaktig kjerne av mandariner, sitron og melonsmaker.…
Veldig rik, men litt tung, denne har smaker av appelsin, ananas og mango som minner om en juice-drikk. Den søte ettersmaken gir den en sukkersøt kant.
Sterke aromaer av bær og plomme blir mint- og gressaktige med lufting. Den føles kraftig og tanninrik, men frisk, med milde urteinspirerte smaker av rød bær og rød plomme. Avslutter livlig, men røff,…
Newman gir seg i kast med mer enn bare produksjon av pastasaus og salatdressing med denne bjørnebærluktende Cabernet. Den er tørr, tanninrik og god for daglig konsum.
