Vinanmeldelser

Denne rike Chardonnay har mye moden frukt. Den er full av aprikoser, fersken, mango og lime, oppfrisket av sprø syre og forbedret med smørstekt eik. Drikk opp.

Eid av Vinmuseet i Paris, har denne eiendommen 172 mål vinmarker. Denne vinen er rik, krydret og med modne tanniner og røde frukter. Den er full av frukt, moden og klar til å drikke.

Fra flere av produsentens egne vinmarker, byr denne vinen på en krydret, læraktig tekstur og kraftfull fyldig kraft, og legger til mer syrlige, smakfulle karakteristikker av rabarbra, mørke kirsebær…

Polerte aromaer av ristede nøtter, havsalt, Meyer sitronskall og løkskall viser seg på nesen til denne vidt tilgjengelige flasken fra Chardonnay-kongene. Smaken er litt flat når det gjelder tekstur o…

Fremdeles ung og ikke helt samlet, viser denne fortsatt noen etter-gjæringssmaker av kandisert appelsin, med en noe kornete tekstur. Den er halvtørr, med 3 % restsukker tydelig merkbart.

En eiendomsdyrket Pinot Gris, fatfermentert, med aromaer av lime, mandarin og svart te. Det er en noe delikat, behagelig stil som tynnes ut raskt.

Alltid en av de beste Muscatene i California, fortsetter Eberles '09 tradisjonen. Den tilbyr smaker av mandarin, ananas, vaniljekrem og kaprifol i en ærlig søt vin avsluttet med frisk, rensende syrli…

En god, rik, noe rustikk blanding av Zinfandel, Petite Sirah og Syrah, laget fra eiendommens vingård. Den er knusktørr og tanninrik, med smaker av bjørnebær, blåbær, sjokolade og krydder. Drikk denne…

Floral on the nose, this is a light, pretty Chardonnay steeped in straightforward citrus and apple. It has been aged partially in new French oak but doesn't come off as oaky.

Wisps of smoke and toast accent fresh, juicy black cherries and berries in this unusual sparkling wine made from Teroldego grapes. The palate balances fresh, primary black-fruit flavors with warm hin…

This brings an intriguing assortment of dried fruit including pear, spiced apple and apricot. It drinks off dry, with abundant stone fruit flavors that linger on the finish.

Lean and crisp, with lime and green apple notes that finish clean and refreshing. Devoid of much sweetness, this is a relentlessly dry Riesling, linear in profile and sharply focused.

Cherry flavors turn a bit syrupy, with a sour cherry candy appeal. Acidic and slightly volatile, this tight, chewy wine spent 14 months in 40% new French oak barrels.

Here's a big, lusty Syrah, unapologetic for its lush, ripe flavors and easy deliciousness. It's so fruity in cherries, blackberries, cola and dark chocolate, it's almost a dessert wine, except that i…

Tart and fruity, this mixes strawberry and citrus flavors. There is some indication of stem contact, and the tannins have some grip to them. Drink now through 2020.

Flavors of plum, cherry, cassis, chalky earth, smoke and bell pepper. Still tight and chewy, with suggestions that the fruit from this difficult vintage didn’t attain full ripeness. A good effort fro…

Tempranillo has become a mainstay red grape in southern Oregon, but it's a rarity further north. Light toasty fruit flavors suggest tart raspberry with a hint of wood from 14 months in 20% new Americ…

The top of the range wine from this estate is ripe and full of vivid black currant fruits. It does have tannins although these are subordinate to the juicy jammy fruit. The wine is almost ready to dr…

There's no denying the intensity of this 60-40 blend, but could we dial up the ripeness just a little bit? This is tart almost to the point of sourness, with lemony flavors that last a good long time…

Superripe, such that it's medicinal and pruny. The nose reeks of reduced blueberry and cassis, while the palate is soft, low in acidity and full of ripe, dark raisin, prune and spice cake flavors. If…

Exciting, fresh and full of spicy, toasted undertones, this wine immediately calls for a food pairing of a richer seafood (think oysters, crab) or poultry. The flavors are balanced and buoyed by cris…

This small production (200 cases) Pinot Noir is a mix of older and younger estate vines, a selection of lots given 22 months in 60 and 132 gallon French oak casks. It's still tasting quite young, sha…

The attack on this light-bodied sipper is unabashedly fruity, with loads of ripe peach and nectarine flavors. It balances out quite nicely with zippy acidity and a dry, steely finish. This is a notew…

This spicy white blend mixes Viognier, Sémillon and Pinot Gris. Notes of green berries and other green fruits—notably banana—all have an herbal underpinning.
