From a family-run, boutique winery, this well-aged expression of Valpolicella (from the excellent 2004 vintage) delivers tertiary aromas of soft spice, leather and dried tobacco. The fruit nuances ar…

From a well-regarded site in the Horse Heaven Hills, this pure Malbec is clean and well-proportioned, but a bit on the simple side. Plain red fruit flavors, accented with light barrel notes, quickly…

Candied apple, cantaloupe, plumeria and bubblegum touches show on the nose of this ripe blend of 39% Marsanne, 38% Roussanne and 23% Grenache Blanc. There are strong tropical notes on the palate, inc…

This is quite light, almost ephemeral, with tart raspberry and red licorice flavors and a strong metallic/mineral streak. It is delicately made, and interesting, but comparable to a simple Bourgogne…

This is stiff and herbal, both in scents and flavors. There's a strong streak of earth dampening the light cranberry fruit. The aging in two third new French oak adds a bit of chocolate to the finish.

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…

Ripe and fruity in raspberries and cherries, this Pinot is also sweet in toasty oak. It has a nice, pleasantly silky texture. Not going anywhere, but good for drinking now.

La Cala er en morsom og lett uttrykk av Vermentino fra den solrike øya Sardinia, som viser lyse sitrusnoter støttet av toner av kaprifol og vill salvie. Kombiner denne vinen med friterte blekksprutri…

Saftig og myk på ganen, denne har kraftige smaker av bjørnebær, pepper og rips. Det er en uformell vin som passer utmerket til en grillet burger.

Dette er ikke den mest kraftfulle eller imponerende Pinot Noir fra Sonoma Coast, men den har mange positive sider. Den er bein tørr, skarpt syrlig og elegant på ganen, med smak av sure kirsebærlikør…

Søt vanilje eik gir denne fyldige, tropiske vinen sitt kjennetegn, en herlig smak av fruktfokusert tilgjengelighet som risikerer å bli overdrevet. Fra Vine Hill Ridge Vineyard i hjertet av appellasjo…
