Vinanmeldelser

Lean and crisp, with lime and green apple notes that finish clean and refreshing. Devoid of much sweetness, this is a relentlessly dry Riesling, linear in profile and sharply focused.

Dark and sweet smelling, with marzipan, coconut, licorice and black fruit aromas. Surprisingly clacky and tartaric feeling, with oak-slathered berry flavors that are both baked and racy. Shows flashe…

This semi-sweet wine is dark in color, full bodied, peppery in aroma, and full of berry flavors on the palate. A thick texture coats the mouth with jammy sensations that slowly recede on the finish.

Finished at 185 g/L residual sugar, this is produced cryogenically (meaning frozen, then pressed). It's on the sugary side of sweet, with simple flavors of lemon tea and rock candy.

Ripe, almost-sweet fruit flavors dominate this full-bodied, soft-textured wine. It's a richer, oakier style of Pinot than most but will make a lot of people happy with its easy-going, welcoming perso…

Deep, saturated color and chocolate-covered cherry flavor make this wine a treat to drink, but don't expect a traditional dry dinner wine. It's turbocharged with sweetness and has a boisterous but ag…

Hogue built its reputation with stunningly fruity, crisp, bright white wines such as this, and no one in America does a better fruit-forward Chenin. Delicious, like a New World Vouvray, with the same…

Deep straw in color, this semi-sweet wine made from an indigenous Georgian grape has an aroma characterized by soft hints of apple. It is harmonious in the mouth, with flavors of ripe apple, white pe…

Rocky Point, the second label of Prophet's Rock, sometimes approaches first-wine quality. This vintage of Pinot Gris is a bit sweet and broad, but offers luscious hints of apricot, honey and a dustin…

This full-bodied wine has big aromas like baking spices, prunes and figs, while flavors recalling maple syrup and chocolate seem to coat the palate. Although technically dry, it feels sweet and lush.

Peach, caramel and honeyed aromas turn a bit soapy and powdery with airing. Plump to the point of being a bit flabby, this Semillón tastes of apricot, cinnamon and cocoa, while the finish is sweet li…

Sweeter whiffs of milk chocolate, baking spice and graham cracker accenting black fruit on the nose are replaced by more herbaceous tones of herb and bramble on the palate of this red blend. It's a j…

A rich pink color, this opens with pretty floral aromas of sweet pea and peony that are framed by red cherry and raspberry tones. It's attractive and bright on the palate, with forward red-fruit flav…

Lots of exuberant fruit in this stylish blend of Petite Sirah, Zin, Cab Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. With its cherry candy and sweet oak flavors, it carefully treads the line between rustic and chic.…

A pace off the 2007, but a pretty good Zin. Despite being a little too soft and candy-sweet, it sure is tasty, offering an array of ripe wild red berry, currant, licorice, cocoa, spice and sandalwood…

Rich blackberry purée, blueberry jam, raspberry pie, cherry tart and cedar flavors in this Cab. Rather direct in its appeal, and a bit too sweet, but its solid New World style will appeal to some.

Here's a beautifully fragrant expression from northern Italy with bright aromas of sweet peach and honeysuckle. Gruppo La-Vis dedicates careful study and focus to Müller Thurgau and this pretty wine…

This oak-aged Verdejo is yellow in color, with aromas of mustard and apple cider. In the mouth, this is weighty and a bit candied despite offering acidic cut. Outright sweet flavors of peach and melo…

Boysenberry aromas and blackberry jam flavors fill this Bordeaux-style red blend to the brim, while a smooth texture and touch of sweetness make it an easy sipper. A great pairing for spicy Korean ba…

Braccale is a drinkable, food-friendly wine. That's because this wine's naturally tempered elegance means it won't overpower what you eat. It delivers aromas of sweet red fruit, toasted nuts and has…

Draws you in with its brilliant ruby color and assertive bouquet of dark plum, black cherry and berry nuanced with menthol and dirt. A full, round mouthfeel and soft, fleeting tannins showcase the wi…

Fans of Barbera will find the hard acids and thick tannins they love in this rustic Italian variety. The flavors are all dry: dried blackberries and cherries, dried leather, cured tobacco leaf, beef…

Le Sughere is a well-composed wine, except for a hint of Band-Aid that blows off relatively quickly to enhance natural aromas of red fruit, root beer and toast. It offers sweet herb flavors and fresh…

Nothing subtle about this big, ripe, oaky Chardonnay. It shows the tropical fruit richness of a fine Alexander Valley Chard, flamboyant in pineapple custard flavor, with a flinty minerality. The swee…
