Vinanmeldelser

Chardonnay grown at the mouth of the Loire is as crisp and green as you would expect. This unoaked wine has touches of pear and definite citrus, very fresh and light.

An unusual blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chard, Pinot Grigio and Viognier, and a really nice wine at a great price. Not exactly dry, but crisp and clean, with plenty of fruit, spice and vanilla flavors.

The simplest wine in the Donabaum portfolio, a lively, fresh apples and cream flavored wine that makes a great apéritif style. There's just the right edge of crispness to add to the pleasure. Screwca…

Floral tones and aromas of ripe peach emerge from the nose of this luminous Pinot Grigio. This easy wine washes clean over the palate and leaves a fresh trail of citrus and passion fruit.

A little heavy and soft for a white wine, but shows true dryness and some interestingly earthy flavors of white tobacco, herbs and citrus fruits. Promising, but needs greater structure and complexity.

Caper flower and green olive take center stage, leaving a small margin of fruit-related aromas. Because of this wine's unique bouquet, you should pair it with Sicilian eggplant caponata or any dish i…

Fragrant and floral, this is a deliciously easy wine, a blend of the local Gascon Colombard grape with Ugni Blanc. There are flavors of grapefruit, white fruits and a light, crisp green aftertaste. S…

With no oak influence at all, this stainless steel-fermented and aged young wine is crisp and clean in vibrant acidity. It shows lemongrass, Lifesaver lemon and lime, and vanilla spice flavors that a…

A light, sprightly and vivacious wine that has white fruits, spring blossom perfume and a crisp, tensely acidic aftertaste. What it lacks in intensity it makes up for in its delicious, refreshing sty…

Dry to slightly off-dry and wonderfully crisp in acidity, this rosé has spicy cherry, herb and vanilla flavors, with no oak influences at all.

Jammy and fruity-sweet, with peppery raspberry, cherry and mocha flavors, offset by rich, dusty tannins. A sound, everyday Zin that will love gooey cheese melted on almost anything.

Shows some nice qualities such as barrel notes of popcorn and buttered toast, but overall the wine is too soft and tropical to rate higher. The palate is plump, fruity and flush, but also low in acid…

Unusual aromas of pine needle, cough drop and herbal berries set the stage for a juicy, tight palate with raspberry, red plum and herbal flavors. Medium in length and intensity, with a smooth finish…

A blend of Zinfandel and Syrah, this wine is exceptionally ripe in jammy berry, cocoa and spice flavors. With gentle tannins and a slightly sweet finish, it's an easy sipper.

‘Na Vota is a fresh and easygoing wine that is vinified in stainless steel to maintain its fresh berry and floral aromas. The wine has medium structure and staying power but does reward the palate wi…

Tight and a little stemmy, but overall the raspberry and cherry aromas outmuscle the rhubarby side. Tannic and grabby in the mouth, but not rough or jagged; flavors of red berries have an herbal acce…

Too dark and heavy for a Pinot Noir, with extracted, jammy flavors of grilled blackberries and cherries, as well as an herbal note of jasmine tea. Almost more like a Rhône wine, although on its own,…

Finn frem grillen for denne livlige, tanninrike, rustikke Petite Sirah. Den er tykk og fruktig og tørr, med smaker av bjørnebær, solbær, lær og krydder.

Grenache er en veldig vanskelig druesort å lage vin av på egenhånd. Den egner seg bedre som en blandingsdrue, noe denne vinen beviser. Den er tørr og silkemyk, med ensidige smaker av kirsebær, blåbær…

Kandiserte, tutti-frutti aromaer gir denne en søt, noe falsk bukett med lite konsentrasjon. Men ganen er seig og fengende nok, med solide men beskjedne smaker av bringebær og rød plomme. Myk på etter…

Viser noe Riesling-karakter i petrol, kaprifol og sitrusfruktaromaer og -smaker, og den friske Central Coast-syren gjør den veldig lys og ren. Den er litt tynn, men fin nok som en apéritif-sipper.

Kunne og burde vært søtere enn 3,9 % restsukker for å rettferdiggjøre å være en dessertvin. Frister med noe søt bjørnebær, sjokolade og pepper-smaker som trekker seg tilbake til en tanninrik, jordakt…

Generiske bæraromaer med et hint av tomat og bringebær setter dette som en annen type, noe det er, med tanke på at det er 78 % Tannat. Smaken har bitre tanniner og styrke, mens smakene av bringebær o…

Skarpe, syrlige bærsmaker kommer klart frem, men vinen treffer en krittaktig vegg midt i ganen og nekter å åpne seg. Smakt på nytt etter 24 timer hadde den ikke forandret seg.
