Barrel fermented and aged on the lees for almost a year, this is a nutty, slightly oily wine that shows the influence of the barrel, but lacks the fruit density to match it. The 14% alcohol hits the…
Lean, largely neutral citrus aromas set up a palate with medium weight. Melon, pineapple and passion-fruit flavors are fresh but minimal. A bright finish makes this a good match for ceviche.
Broad and slightly too sweet for its modest acid levels (17 g/l residual sugar; 5.3 g/l TA), this wine does deliver oodles of succulent fruit, ranging from red berries to ripe peaches and citrus.
This is a powerful Chardonnay. It's explosive in tropical fruit, in malic acids and in new charred oak. All the parts kind of stick out on their own, going in different directions. It's a good New Wo…
Leathery aromas of roasted black fruits show on the nose. Solid in feel, cherry, raspberry and a kick of salt house a medium-bodied palate.
A robust structure of tannin and oak in this fuller-bodied wine masks the finer components of black cherry and blackberry fruit that lurk underneath layers of tobacco and cigar box.
Peppery, herbal aromas are gritty and a touch green on the nose. This Syrah-led blend is lean in body and relatively high in acid, with a scratchy palate. Quickly fleeting flavors of raspberry and cu…
Waxy plum and a surprising characteristic of watermelon provide a subtle freshness to this otherwise hugely tannic, concentrated wine. Tar and yeast play a role as well.
An initial cranberry note is subdued by vanilla and clove aromas. Spice is dominant on the palate, interspersed with anise and leafiness. Full bodied and big on flavor, this would be a good steak acc…
Pyrazine-based notes of green pepper are most prominent on a basic nose. This feels lean and stony. Briny, salty citrus flavors lack complexity.
Herbal berry and plum aromas are earthy at best and a touch green at worst. Salty plum and berry flavors are tomatoey and chunky, while drying tannins and herbal flavors drive the finish.
This medium-bodied Shiraz is sturdily built without being too hard or too fat. Sure, it's a bit simple, relying on black cherry and plum fruit with modest hints of chocolate and spice, but there's pl…
The nose of this wine is all about oak, with toast and char leading the way. The palate follows suit yet shows a bit more fruit, with grilled red-berry flavors washing over a lithe, crisp palate.
Basic aromas are low on fruit. This has a cutting, citric feel that's centered around juicy acidity. Sour grapefruit and tangerine flavors end with lasting citric acidity.
Bright aromas of melon, pear and herb lead to tart dry fruit flavors. The concentration comes off as quite light.
Punchy prickly citrus aromas are clearly that of Sauvignon Blanc. Light in color and weight, this tastes of tangy citrus with a shot of black and green pepper. Lime is the key flavor noted on a clean…
Green herb, dried tobacco and vanilla aromas are followed by light, easygoing fruit flavors. It comes off as quite green.
Kunne og burde vært søtere enn 3,9 % restsukker for å rettferdiggjøre å være en dessertvin. Frister med noe søt bjørnebær, sjokolade og pepper-smaker som trekker seg tilbake til en tanninrik, jordakt…
En intenst fruktpreget Syrah med smak av syltet bjørnebær, kirsebær og bringebær, pepper og smeltet melkesjokolade. Deilig og ensidig.
Den består av 40 % Merlot, 35 % Cabernet Sauvignon og 25 % Merlot, alt fra eiendommens vinmarker. Litt plomme- og kirsebærfrukt innleder, går raskt over i en lett avslutning, og etterlater et inntryk…
Viser den klassiske tistelaktige, tornete karakteren til Dry Creek Valley, med smaker av villbær og pepperspice. Mister litt glans på grunn av overdreven alkohol, som gir vinen en varm sødme, og over…
Modne, søte smaker av ananas og appelsinmarmelade preger denne ganske enkle, åpenbare Chardonnayen. Eik tilfører enda søtere vanilje, smørstekt toast og karamellnoter. Den er laget for å appellere ti…
Myk og litt muggen, denne har ikke skarpheten og elegansen til forrige årgang. Kanskje bare ung, men i øyeblikket er det en enkel, behagelig lettdrikkelig hvitvin.
Kirsebær- og bæraromaer er standard og gode. Føles litt kantete og konsis, med lett urteaktige røde plomme-smaker aksentuert av mye eik og pepper. Blir virkelig krydret og varm på ettersmaken.
