Vinanmeldelser

A nice everyday Syrah, dry and fruity, with pleasant raspberry, cherry, bacon, pepper, clove and sandalwood flavors. Easy to drink, with some real complexity.

Light and tart, with high acid cranberry fruit flavors. It's clean and straightforward, though the old vines (some are 34 years old) do not deliver the complexity that might be anticipated.

Meaty, herbal aromas are a bit rooty and mossy but with time they offer up berry fruit and spice. The palate is full and plump, and also a little hard and tannic, while the flavors suggest prune and…

Only in California's warmer regions will you find the enormously ripe cherries and blackberries this Cabernet offers. It's as sweet as jam. Likeable, even opulent, but would benefit from greater dryn…

Reflecting the difficulties of the vintage, this is a slightly edgy, coarsely textured wine, with sweet, oaky notes framing cherries and roasted beets. Try it with something slightly rustic, like bee…

There's a tough, gritty feeling in the mouth with this dry, tannic wine. Although it has some rich flavors blackberries and blueberries, it's astringent and hard. Give it a good long decant and drink…

There's no doubt this is 100-percent Petite Sirah, full of dark plummy fruit and an earthy element that's close to mushrooms and dirt. Aged over two years in French oak the wine even has a slight hin…

The initial impression of young, juicy red berries carries into an astringent wine with streaks of gravel and chalk. It's pleasant, simple but quick to fade.

The tough conditions of the 2008 vintage are reflected in this scratchy wine. Plum is the key fruit aroma, and that's followed by a tight, firm body with toasty oak, black fruit flavors, herbal notes…

A firm, youthful Cabernet, with cassis and blue plum fruit accented by dried herb, graphite and asphalt. As it sat in the glass, a distinct leathery aroma emerged and the fruit quickly faded.

Ready to drink, this Pinot is already losing color and going brick at the rim, its modest red berry fruit falling away to reveal notes of brown sugar, vanilla and even a touch of wintergreen. Supple…

One of the new generation of regional wines, this Grüner Veltliner exhibits all the open flavors of the variety, with some spice and pepper, pear skin texture and a fresh, flowery acidity. Drink this…

Pungent notes of white pepper and dried herbs are followed by tonic acidity, foamy effervescence and a polished finish. This is the perfect wine to pair with spicy finger foods. Sweet fruit flavors r…

Bortolin's Extra Dry Prosecco delivers sharp effervescence and soda-like tones of lemon, lime and white stone. In the mouth, however, the wine is creamy and soft thanks to its foamy bubbles.

This is a hard Prosecco to score. You expect the soft freshness and peachy tones that normally define this category of Italian sparkler, yet here, you get a more sophisticated and slightly oxidized e…

This wine seems to have a bit of everything. Lovely aromas of fresh cut grass mix with pear and melon on the nose while the palate offers some nice minerality and ends on a lingering peach note. Drin…

Grassy and pungent, with lime, citrus and white pepper on the nose. Tangy and simple across the palate, with basic pineapple and passion fruit flavors. Good but thins out on the finish, leaving lefto…

This Moscato is a great value, a perfect opening for a big party. Made in a subtle, lightly sweet style, with sophisticated gardenia and white flower scents on the nose. A jazzy midpalate mineral not…

Floral, oily aromas are offset by the scents of lychee and lime. The palate is tropical and tasty, with peach, lychee and persistent freshness. It's getting a little heavy and lazy at this point in i…

Lagret av økologisk dyrket Ciliegiolo (en av de store lokale druetypene i Toscana), åpner denne med noter av kirsebær og spekemat, og den viser en lys, syrlig kvalitet på ettersmaken.

Dette er inngangsmodellen på mellomnivå i Yalumbas Shiraz-Viognier-serie, som plasserer seg over Y-serien, men under Hand Picked. Det er en mellomfylt vin med en litt kremete tekstur, med fremtredend…

En blanding av Syrah, Petite Sirah, Mourvèdre og andre varianter, dette er en standard rødvin, myk og litt søt, med smaker som minner om kirsebær- og bringebærfyll til pai. Den er lett og krydret i a…

Tørr og læraktig på nesen, og når den åpner seg avslører den sitrussmakende røde fruktaromaer. Smaken er slank og stram, med lette smaker av kirsebær, bringebær og plomme. Ristet, tørr og litt smørak…

Dette er en Rhône-inspirert blanding av mest Grenache og Syrah, med mindre mengder Viognier og Cinsault. Vinen åpner med tiltalende krydder, men blir syrlig og stilkaktig i munnen. De krydrede plomme…
