Vinanmeldelser

Dette er en livlig, moden vin. Fersken- og aprikosfrukter er krydret og syrlige. Rik og fruktig, den har en tropisk, varm følelse, et produkt av den modne årgangen. Drikk nå.

En av de mer pålitelige merkene man finner i dagligvarebutikker for øyeblikket. Denne flasken viser aromaer av varm kirsebærpai med et lag av vanilje og muskatnøtt. Smaken beveger seg mer mot mørkere…

This Marlborough Sauvignon from a Hawke's Bay winery is a little on the herbal side—even close to vegetal, although it doesn't quite go that far. A trace of sweetness lingers to balance out the tobac…

Green, herbaceous notes of lemongrass accent this steely, slightly nervy Chardonnay. While satisfyingly full in body and alcohol, it's a refreshing wine with cutting lemon-lime acidity highlighting f…

Ripe yellow peaches laced with honey and beeswax perfume this off-dry Finger Lakes Riesling from Long Island's Anthony Nappa. It's tart and fresh on the palate, with lemon and tangerine acidity cutti…

This 100% Tempranillo was sourced from the Stonetree vineyard. It's soft on entry, with brambly red fruits, a wash of milk chocolate (from aging in 50% new oak) and a hint of leather.

Sweeter whiffs of milk chocolate, baking spice and graham cracker accenting black fruit on the nose are replaced by more herbaceous tones of herb and bramble on the palate of this red blend. It's a j…

Ripe, soft wine, deliciously rounded with fresh white and green fruits combining into a creamy herbaceousness. There is a final tang to this concentrated, full wine. Screwcap.

A light, softly sparkling wine, its apple flavors laced with citric acidity, There is a yeasty edge, some bitter almonds and a final zing. Not for aging.

A pace off the 2007, but a pretty good Zin. Despite being a little too soft and candy-sweet, it sure is tasty, offering an array of ripe wild red berry, currant, licorice, cocoa, spice and sandalwood…

This is a bright, ripe and fruity wine. With its red fruits, gentle tannins and juicy acidity, everything is in place for an early drinking and food friendly wine. Ready from late 2017.

The nose is very shy: The wines still needs waking up and only comes alive slowly with a little air. The flavors on the palate seem subdued but there is customary Riesling freshness. The finish is dr…

Made of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Canaiolo, this recalls cassis and cooking spice on the nose. The palate delivers ripe red plum laced with vanilla, softly framed by tannins. Drink now–2019.

Winemaker Nick Goldschmidt has turned out a Shiraz that seems a bit conflicted. It's only medium-bodied, yet packs in overripe flavors of cooked berries laced with dark chocolate and espresso. The pe…

This grassy, very herbaceous wine is all crisp green fruits. Touched by a creamy texture under a layer of freshness, it shows some good weight and structure. There is light wood that rounds it all ou…

This is an attractively structured wine, with ripe strawberry and smoky wood flavors. The fruit continues through to the soft finish, which is laced with acidity and a firm tannic core.

Forward and fruity, this is a tight, tart wine with a jumble of berry and bramble flavors. It's peppery, spicy, but don't look for too much complexity. Gulp it down for the enjoyable quaffer that it'…

This has concentrated apple, mango and lime skin notes that are shaded with tones of smoke, crushed chalk and white pepper. Round and rich on the palate, with a mouthfilling viscosity, it's balanced…

There's a touch of wood to this wine, but the primary emphasis is on citrusy, pineapple-scented fruit. Apple flavors provide roundness, while the wine finishes citrusy and fresh without being sharp.

This pure Cabernet Sauvignon is not a heavy wine, but within its sleek profile are interesting flavors of berry, leaf and earth. Tannins are crisp and proportionate, and the fruit carries through a g…

A lively, open, crisp wine, ready to drink, with a fresh apple and cream flavor complementing its flavors of pineapple and herbaceous edge. Delicious, easy Sauvignon Blanc.

Malbec makes up 73% of this blend, with 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Dried herb and cedar give it an herbaceous character. Soft, moderate acidity provides a backbone again…

Fiery and borderline herbaceous aromas are green-leaning, which is surprising considering that 2011 was a warm, dry, highly regarded vintage in Rioja. On the palate, this feels strained, with outsize…
