Vinanmeldelser

Very rich, creamy and oaky, made in the ripe, California style of Chardonnay. Brims with buttered toast, vanilla cream, and caramelized wood aromas and flavors riding over underlying pineapples, pear…

The 80% new oak on this wine really sticks out, giving toasty, caramelized and vanilla bean notes. That makes the underlying cherry, blackberry and raspberry fruit, which is superripe, taste jammy, a…

In a ripe style, this is soft, with creamed apple and pear flavors, smooth and light. There is a touch of attractive spice to go with the final acidity.

This light, elegant wine uses estate-grown fruit, and brings the same general character as the single vineyard offerings. Briary berry fruit, with pepper and spice, shows a more herbal aspect than th…

This new vintage was barrel fermented, which fleshes out the flavors and brings some tropical notes along with the tart flavors of fresh pear. Young, sleek and showing a pleasing, wet stone mineralit…

Ripe pear fruit introduces a full-bodied Pinot Gris, and carries it through a satisfying finish. It's fruit all the way, dusted with a little taste of cinnamon spice.

There's a lot of appeal with notes of apricot, mango, butter and toasty spices. It's creamy in feel with the oak—70% American, half new—speckling the fruit flavors and the finish.

The opulence of this Chard comes at least as much from the buttered toast and caramel notes of oak, as it does from the underlying pineapple and tropical fruit flavors. It's a crowd pleaser. Drink no…

Here's a rich, smooth wine for drinking now. It's softly luscious, packed with blackberry, cherry, anise and cedar flavors that finish with quite a bit of complexity.

This Cab has the fruity concentration of its famous mountain origin, and is explosive in blackberries, blueberries and currants, along with plenty of caramelized oak. It's also quite tannic, which gi…

This is a very good Cabernet, dry, full-bodied and rich in black currants. But it's not the Landslide of the early and mid-2000s. The vineyard, in the southern Alexander Valley, remains the same, but…

A blend of Pommard and Wadenswill clones, this was aged in large, neutral puncheons. It's smooth, light and well balanced, showing fruit flavors of watermelon and strawberry. The vintage was challeng…

Nervous lemon-lime acidity forms a strident spine to this dry, delicately framed Riesling. Tart white peach and pineapple flavors are concentrated yet crisp, leading a long mineral finish.

This tasty bottle does not push for maximum ripeness, settling comfortably into a ripe-enough mix of apples, pears and nectarines. There's a dusting of cinnamon and even a little hint of brown sugar,…

Named after the Estrela mountain range that lies on the east of the Dão, this structured, mineral-driven wine is firm yet packed with juicy red berries and currants that give a fragrant, juicy charac…

Waterbrook consistently provides high-quality wines at affordable prices and this appealing Cabernet is just another example. Dark cherry, cocoa and barrel notes from a kiss of new American oak (19%)…

Without any sweetening dosage, this is a bone-dry wine, so crisp and laden with a citrus and mineral texture. With its intense acidity and clean feel, it brings out all the feeling of the soil of Cha…

This vineyard-designated Mourvèdre is nearly 100% varietal with just a small splash of Syrah added. The grape's white pepper, pomegranate and gamy character is on full display here, framed by the ref…

A touch of ripe pear plays into the Golden Delicious notes of the nose. The palate displays the same fruit flavors on its very light and easy fruit-driven palate, supported by freshness and fizzing f…

This stiffens up with streaks of stem and herb, underscoring compact blueberry and blue-plum fruits. It's an eight vineyard mix, aged in 20% new French oak.

This is still pretty stiff and tight through the midpalate, with fruit ranging from cranberry to raspberry and sour cherry. Tannins leave a slightly green impression; the wine doesn't seem ripe and f…

Til tross for det søte navnet, er dette en seriøs rosé som garantert vil glede selv de mest kresne. En blanding av Syrah, Grenache, Gamay og Mourvèdre, den er moden og fruktig med smak av røde bær, h…

Redhawk lager en rimelig serie med Pinot-viner, og i 2009 er det de to billigste som har mest varietal karakter og sjarm. Konsentrert kirsebæraktig frukt gir dybde og interesse med et preg av mynte o…

En veldig godt laget Livermore Cab modnet i 100 % ungarsk eik og kalt "The Good Life," denne har plomme og krydret cola, og smaker ung til tross for at den er fra 2008. Strukturen viser større potens…
