Vinanmeldelser

Med modne aromaer av hostesaft, bakt bær, kirsebær og røyk, tilbyr denne Malbecen litt av alt. Ganen er fyldig, men har energi, og smakene av boysenbær, blåbær og sjokolade kommer i en stor, pulseren…

Tro mot druetypen tilbyr denne uttrykket av Riesling hint av naturgummi og parafin støttet av en lett og lys munnfølelse. Det er et snev av sødme samt en polert mineralsk ettersmak.

Aromaene minner om ristet brødsmuler, gyldne epler og et hint av vanilje. Smaken byr på Bartlett-pære, gul fersken, sitronskall, ristede mandler og mineraler, men avsluttes med en uvanlig medisinakti…

Sterkt brent og tungt eiket fra start til slutt. Midt i all fatpåvirkningen og toasten finner du aromaer og smaker av svart plomme og villbær. På ettersmaken tar eiken igjen kontrollen over denne vin…

Tradizione, som navnet antyder, fremkaller de sagnomsuste tradisjonene innen piemontesisk vinproduksjon. Lagret i slavonske eikefat (i stedet for franske barrique), viser vinen klare bæraromaer med r…

This strapping Rosso has sensations of forest floor, cake spices, black cherry, mocha, vanilla and sweet oak. The one-dimensional and forward palate is supported by velvety tannins and closes on a li…

Spiky aromas of brambly, herbal berry fruits introduce a thick yet juicy palate with herbal, spicy flavors of berry and mild green notes. On the finish, this is fresh in feel, with a minty aftertaste.

For Torrontés, this is a juicy, solid example. Smells of orange blossom and lychee, which is backed up by a thorough palate with lime, lemon and tangerine flavors. Shows balance, verve, modest depth…

Salty is not a common descriptor for Pinot Gris, but appropriate here. Crisp apple, Asian pear, unripe peach, a dusting of cinnamon, and some slightly bitter skin flavors combine here; the acids rule.

Attractive floral aromas and bright cherry and raspberry flavors make a light, refreshing impression. This medium-bodied wine has light tannins and lively acidity in the texture.

This bright and polished Barbera d'Alba would make a perfect companion to tortellini with grated Parmigiano cheese and melted butter. The wine boast bright berry and cherry flavors backed by fresh ac…

A mixed bag of varieties went into this soft and fruity wine. It has gentle tannins that are lifted by acidity and black currant fruitiness. With its lifestyle label (a small Vespa motor scooter), it…

This blend of 90% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo and 5% Malvasia Nera offers ripe black plum and black tea scents. The firm palate displays black currant and clove flavor, supported by clenching tannins. Dr…

Made using grapes from the celebrated Montegradella cru, this easy red offers quality fruit aromas of black cherry, cassis and jammy blackberry. On the finish, a spice note and a light shade of tobac…

The Aviator Red is a well-crafted blend that mixes strawberry, raspberry, pepper and stone in an effective balance that seems to draw the best from each grape. For a modest, everyday wine, this works…

Superripe in blackberry, red plum, cherry, mocha, fig and caramel flavors, this wine certainly scores high on the deliciousness factor. It could use greater structural depth and complexity but is goo…

This blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache blend is high in alcohol and ultra ripe with fruit. It's pushed well past any subtlety, with dark black fruit flavors, chewy tannins and some heat on the fini…

Fragrant and floral, with a bright golden color, this expression of Insolia shows a rich, creamy mouthfeel, with orange blossom and candied lemon flavors.

This offers ripe notes of prune and blackberry, with a nutty nuance. The mouthfeel is round, plush and smooth.

This is the little brother of Brumont's estate wines such as Montus and Bouscassé. It is all fruit, the 80% Tannat tamed easily, leaving a modicum of tannins to support the juicy black fruit. It is a…

Synthesi is an Aglianico del Vulture that adopts a traditional style. It has sharp, raw tones of blackberry, cherry and spice and polished tannins that are followed by bright crispness and a polished…

Mainly Shiraz (87%), this is a meaty, savory and plummy red at a reasonable price. Hints of vanilla and cola impart additional complexity, while the mouthfeel is creamy, cushioned by ripe tannins. It…

The 2010 Select is a step ahead of Torii Mor's single vineyard offerings, but holds to the common thread of hard, tart, tight wines with little flesh on their bones. Here the raspberry and strawberry…

Known for some of Italy's most beautiful sand beaches, you might not consider the resort area of Sabaudia (in the Lazio region) a farming area for Sauvignon grapes. Despite the disconnect, this wine…
