The smell of ripe yellow plum and the thick, waxy peel of Bramley apples sets the aromatic tone on nose and palate. There is richness here, and ample, rounded fruit, while the palate stays dry and is…

Mineral, mulberry, dried herb and black-fruit aromas lead to layered dark-fruit flavors that show intensity as well as exceptional balance. This has a delicious factor that is impossible to ignore.

A big, rich, full-bodied wine, flashy and dramatic. Floods the mouth with cherry-berry flavors, yet somehow feels light and elegant despite the weight and tannins, which is a kind of magic. You'll fi…

Eroica has a proven ability to age; in fact it needs at least a half decade in the cellar to show its real strengths. Tight and packed with primary fruit flavors of lime and peach, this beautifully p…

Mainly Grenache (80%, the balance is Syrah) aged entirely in tank, this wine features loads of superripe dark cherries and plums, yet with a savory, olive-and meat-tinged aspect as well. Full-bodied,…

Ripe fruit, in the form of raspberries, cherries and figs, characterizes this luscious Pinot. But it has much more going for it than that. The tannins are rich and complex, the finish is dry and spic…

Heinrich's Blaufränkisch is a concentrated and deeply tannic wine. It shows a mineral texture to go with the black plums and powerful structure. Intended for long-term aging, its acidity and dry core…

An interesting wine that grows more complex as it sits and warms in the glass. The vineyard long has been source to one of Ravenswood's best Zinfandels, and the 2007 was really great. This '08 is a t…

Full and smoky at first, however as it settles the bouquet delivers ripe strawberry and additional red, jammy aromas. The palate has a healthy, very nice feel and diligent flavors of red berry fruit…

A gorgeous wine, dense with flavor. Smooth and plummy, it's loaded with thick streaks of licorice, chocolate, baking spices and coffee liqueur. Long and flowing, it just seduces from the first sip to…

This shows a darker shade than most young whites, almost a burnished gold. Soft and complex, with ripe, slightly confected fruit flavors, it's super smooth, with honeysuckle highlights around waxy st…

Dette er en levende rik vin som er full av deilige røde fruktnoter og frisk syre. Fyldig og konsentrert, den har tyngde uten å være tung. Det er en fint laget vin med en frisk avslutning.

På dette stadiet viser vinen sin lagring på tre. Men med den rike smaken av solbær vil eiken til slutt integreres for å lage en seriøs, mørkfruktig vin. Den er teksturert, tørr og konsentrert. Denne…

Denne er rik og konsentrert. Den har tyngde, med den modne hvite ferskenfrukten som gir en myk avslutning til den ellers stramme, mineralske syren. Lagres i 3–4 år. Glasskork.

Tre firedeler Merlot, med 17 % Cabernet Franc og 8 % Cabernet Sauvignon, denne er litt lettere enn 2007 Merlot, men like god, om ikke bedre. Fyldig og full av svarte kirsebær, bjørnebær, kakao og kry…

Dette er en blekk-svart vin, med myke, syltetøysaktige smaker av bjørnebær, kirsebær, mørk sjokolade og eik. Tanninene er fjell-tykke, men likevel så raffinerte som moderne vinproduksjon kan gjøre de…

Denne vinen er intens både i farge og aroma. Kraftige dufter av svart frukt, dyreskinn, grafitt og markant eik dominerer. Den føles ren, fyldig og godt bygget, med mørke smaker av bjørnebær, sjokolad…
