Full-bodied and firmly structured, this smells a bit peppery and roasted, then gives up dried cherry and blackberry flavors that fill the mouth and taste generous and soothing. It has benefited from…
Hints of wet earth marry lemony flavors with ripe and generous overtones of peach. The lemony center lends structure to the entire wine and makes for a bracing but ripe and earthy mouthful.
Wood-aged and ripe, this is a solid, tannic wine. With mint over black fruits and firm new wood flavors, it will need to age. It is powerful on the palate from all the wood tannins and dense structur…
Easy-drinking and intensely structured, this is marked by streaks of red raspberry fruit that also reveal cedar and herb. Slightly floral on the nose, the wine has a softness despite its size.
The estate belongs to the Borie family, one of the grand names of Bordeaux, with the wine making done by the team of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou in Saint-Julien. The result is an aromatic, balanced win…
Ripe black cherry and currant flavors are spiked by hints of nut, spice and toast in this keenly balanced wine. Firm but fine-grained tannins, brisk acidity and tones of bramble and barnyard lend str…
It's called Assemblage because the wine is a blend of Touriga Nacional and Cabernet Sauvignon. This big wine, with its dense structure, texture and superripe fruit, is certainly rich. The tannins and…
A ripe, smooth wine, dominated by vanilla from wood and by red berry fruits. The tannic structure is subservient to the rich layers of mint and herbal flavors, while the fruit dominates. Finishes wit…
Easy-drinking and intensely structured, this is marked by streaks of red raspberry fruit that also reveal cedar and herb. Slightly floral on the nose, the wine has a softness despite its size.
This is a dry, richly flavored and well-structured wine. A complex, spicy, earthy, cherrylike bouquet accompanies saturated flavors of currant, black cherry and pomegranate spiced with hints of cinna…
This 100% Carignan is a great expression of what the grape can do all by itself without any blending buddies. Red cherry and plum mingle with garrigue herbs and a touch of vanilla on the nose. Soft t…
This is ripe, structured and fragrant, with a touch of wood. It shows fine concentration and crisp, fresh citrus on the finish.
Mint and eucalypt aromas set the scene for a modern, polished wine, packed with wood tannins as well as ripe black fruits. Currently, the tannins are winning giving a wine that is dark, structured an…
Produced by the winemaking team of Château Giscours in Margaux, this is impressive for a simple Bordeaux. It has weight, rich blackberry fruits, structure and concentration. It could even age.
What is so good about this wine is its balance. The producer has accentuated the fruit of the vintage, leaving aside any big tannic structure. The result is a black-currant wine that is juicy, fresh…
Young, fruity and with potential, this is a perfumed while also structured wine. It has plenty of black-currant flavors as well as delicious acidity. The dry core keeps the fruitiness together. Drink…
Huge in structure and monolithic in flavor, this young, rough-cut wine will need until at least 2020 to show its best stuff. This variety is known for aging well, so it's not much of a gamble. The co…
Tight and stalky, this wine has considerable acidity. Firm tannins in the background give some promise of aging. At this stage, the wine is more about structure than fruit and thus is very early in i…
This is a concentrated wine, full of blackberry fruits with acidity and spice. The wood-aging character is balancing out well, giving structure without dominating the fruit. Drink from 2020. Grapes a…
Fleshy, primary notes of juicy, luscious plum have little shimmers of white pepper here and there. The palate is soft but not without structure, and the nature of this spells playfulness and fruity f…
Browned butter, cinnamon-like spices and blackberry pie frame this Syrah from an estate vineyard owned of Zaca Mesa, the first winery to plant the grape in Santa Barbara County. There is more brown s…
A structured, cool wine that is poised and elegant, it has a lightly creamy texture cut by apple and pear flavors. Definitely mineral, it is textured with fruit skins and flavored with the oak aging.…
While the wine is structured, it does also have plenty of ripe, juicy fruitiness that is already delicious. It's an open wine, rounded and rich in fruit flavor. The tannins are likely to smooth out s…
This wine is teeming with black fruit, cassis and sage. The palate is a complex and evolving accomplishment—bright black cherry and sage meld with earthy notes of cedar and tobacco, all framed by str…
