Campfire smoke punctuates the opening of this intensely dense wine. It veers into jammy, syrupy territory, red and black berry fruit exploding at its juicy core.

This opens with aromas of toasted oak, coffee, ripe berry, sage and a whiff of citrus zest. On the palate, white pepper and coconut back up the core of dried cherry alongside astringent tannins, but…

From a cool site near the town of Graton, this is a highly concentrated, slightly cloudy wine with strong Gravenstein apple and lemon-lime aromas. Wild anise flavors season the rich, bold palate, but…

This robust Zin is meaty in Italian sausage aromas, with streaks of cedar and dark plum intertwined throughout. Balanced in terms of acidity and weight, it finishes in a generous helping of leathery…

Overworked and oaky, with vanilla, buttered toast and sweet caramel flavors dominating everything else. Buried beneath are pineapple and pear flavors.

Cherry, sweet berry and citrus peel aromas come in front of a full, slightly oaky palate with sweet plum and berry flavors. There's some length to the finish and more flavors of sweet, creamy but nic…

With a reductive quality and prominent oak, this is a thick, concentrated wine built on unwavering tannins. The fruit is elusive and shy. Clove and cola eke out of an earthy element that's part rose…

This mineral-driven Prosecco Brut has a sharp, focused quality that comes across in the sparkler's consistent perlage and its immediate aromas of white flower, stone fruit and talc powder. It has a c…

Slanke, krydrede aromaer setter scenen for en røykfylt, plommefylt smak som sannsynligvis er litt for brent for sin egen skyld. Kroppstyngden her er moderat, men det er mye lengde i den røykfylte, ei…

En svak kandisert glasur fremhever de fremtredende fruktige smakene av eple og klementin i denne fyldige Chardonnayen. Myk solrik syrlighet og en omfattende, tung munnfølelse preger midtpaletten. Dri…

En solid Zin for hverdagsdrikking. Litt røff og tynn, men tørr og krydret, med smaker av bær, krossbær og teriyaki.

Denne vinen har overlappende personligheter. Den ene drypper rikt av vanilje og honning, mens den andre er sitronsyrlig og elektrisk i syre. De blander seg på avslutningen, og vil tydelig avgjøre om…
