Labeled as a regional wine rather than as a Douro wine because of the Syrah in the blend, this is still a wine from the Noval estate. Dark in color and still showing firm tannins, this second wine of…
Rather perfumed, lifted notes of honeysuckle and the full force of lemon-drizzled honeydew melon make for a striking opening. The palate is bright and brings ample fruit: citrus-tempered apple, plums…
An excellent wine for those seeking a snappy, tart take on Rhône grapes, this blend of 90% Syrah, 9% Grenache and 1% Riesling shows dried strawberries, plum and pencil shavings on the nose. The palat…
Pressed blueberry, black pepper and pencil lead show on this nose of this 50% Grenache and 50% Syrah blend by former football pro Terry Hoage, who recently renamed his brand. The palate on this juicy…
Wiry raspberry and plum aromas put this in the red-fruit category. A loud, tannic, expansive palate blazes with acidity, while fully toasted oak gives this a burnt element to match raspberry and red-…

Very aromatic, gentle, almost floral notes of Cox's Orange Pippin appear with the first whiff. They get their full due on the off-dry palate which boosts the fruit flavors and paints them in a golden…
There is an almost tropical touch to the apple and lemon fruit: this is almost like vanilla-spiced apple tart with lemon zest. Very appetizing with that unusual vanilla-edge and more of that tropical…
Ripe blackberry and cola aromas comes across as foresty and nice as a whole. This saturated, dense Malbec shows brutish, choppy tannins along with flavors of blackberry, exotic spices and fig. The fi…
Savory wisps of smoke and dusty minerals juxtapose exuberantly juicy, sweet yellow peach and nectarine flavors in this crystalline kabinett. Just off-dry on the palate, its refreshing, high-spirited…
Notes of Turkish delight and peach immediately signal opulence. The palate follows up with distinct sweetness that underlines the rich rose and peach flavors even more. There is an edge of freshness,…
A creamy, apple-flavored wine that is crisp and fruity. It has lively acidity that is fresh and cool. A tight, mineral texture gives the wine a fine tangy edge. The aftertaste with its fresh pineappl…
Big, bold and unreservedly stemmy, this Carmenère pulls in enough black-cherry fruit to balance out the herbs. The assertive tannins carry notes of earth, dried leaf and dark chocolate.
88-90 Acidity and fresh fruit are out of balance with smoky wood. The wine will need to integrate in the coming months, although all the elements are there.
88-90 Big, extracted wine, with hard tannins, very firm, tough.
88-90 A definite mineral character here, with a wine that boasts a taut structure, pushing beyond the metallic edge of the fruit.
88-90 The wine seems to have over-ripe fruit, giving it an unbalanced feel. It does have weight, the tannins offering some structure, while it's the acidity that really gives the wine shape.
88-90 Spicy, smoky character, with ripe fruit and good acidity. Black plums, and very rich. There is a touch of pepper from the alcohol.
88-90 Great acidity runs through what is also a richly concentrated wine. It has weight, density, always with this bright acidity.
