Vinanmeldelser

Alvarinho med et stikk er uvanlig, det samme er en Vinho Verde som har blitt lagret ett ekstra år før lansering. Vinen fungerer ikke helt fordi den har mistet sin fruktighet og utviklet en sterk pepp…

Tranebær og vannmelon i nesen, som leder inn i en myk, lett og behagelig vin. Glatte og enkle smaker; vinen må kjøles ned for å vise seg fra sin beste side. Denne er laget for kortsiktig nytelse.

En delikat vin som er helt klar til å drikkes og bør konsumeres nå før den eldes videre. Frukten har utviklet en sekundær, animalsk karakter, og tanninene begynner å dominere med sin tørrhet.

Fra grensen mellom Emilia-Romagna og Lombardia-regionene i Nord-Italia, viser denne økologiske hvitvinen varme aromaer av fersken, aprikos, karamell og melon, støttet av toner av ristet mandel og gul…

Denne hvite Garnacha starter med en salin nese som inneholder aromaer av pære, papaya, salami og skinke. Den er litt slapp på ganen, med bitre, oljete smaker av papaya, melon, lychee og salt. Det er…

Despite this estate remaining among the top echelon of New Zealand Riesling producers, Framingham's Pinot Noir is solid but unexciting. It's plump and medium bodied, and it offers modest cherry fruit…

There's an intensity of apricot and melon in this full-bodied, textured wine that veers on becoming overbearingly ripe, with a ghost-like finish.

Matchstick, mushroom and licorice nib aromas add character to this fading but textured wine that struggles to offer peach and nectarine flavors. Expect additional softness with each passing month, an…

Pale yellow in color, this Gewürz has aromas of ripe apple, Asian pear and canteloupe complemented by flavors of fresh peach and light ginger spice. A round, somewhat fat mouthfeel followed by a cris…

Interesting and unique blends get bonus points, but in the long run this conglomeration of indigenous grapes from Mallorca is a touch too resiny and bland to really deserve a call out. But for soft m…

A warm vintage (2006) may be causing this wine to expire prematurely, but tasted in 2008 it seems to be losing its drive. The nose has wild flower and melon aromas, while the palate shows simple apri…

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.

This is a pale, light-bodied rosé with aromas and flavors reminiscent of underripe peach and melon. It's clean, dry and even a bit austere on the finish, making it a fine apéritif.

Soft, fruity and lightly crisp, this is a wine to drink young to keep its freshness. It has perfumed acidity and a lightly zesty lemon aftertaste.

There's a strong mineral component that recalls ash or dusty stone; it is backed by mature notes of peach and melon. It's sweetish and fruity in the mouth but finishes dry.

Buttercup aromas give a sense that this wine is right on the edge. And it probably is; it's an '06 with ripe, soft, melony flavors and lots of pineapple and mango on the finish. Big and fruity now, b…

Aromas of corn and melon are decent but hardly the stuff of legend. This feels full and round, with flavors of melon and peach, with a candied honey finish.

This smells taut, lean and crisp, while the mouthfeel is moderately rich, with mild flavors of pear and melon to fill it out. This wine is not a solo star but a good supporting player for lunch, wine…

This feels good in a regular sense, with apple-driven acidity and leesy notes of vanilla. A standard, zesty, pithy palate offers briny, slightly bitter flavors of peach and pulpy citrus, while the fi…

Mild citrus aromas of grapefruit are offset by bready, leesy, yeasty scents. This has a citric mouthfeel with the suggestion of lime. Flavors of orange peel and gooseberry finish briny, with a puply…

Oak, peach and nutty aromas ride on the nose. Dense, creamy and reasonably balanced on the palate, this chunky number offers full melon and peach flavors prior to a briny, long finish.

Aromas of white clover, carnation and lime leaf lead the nose of this crisp and easy white. Fruity tones of underripe peach and melon rind unfold on the palate, coupled with zippy lime-like acidity a…

This is a highly perfumed, fruity wine with ripe melon and spiced apple flavors. It is crisp, tangy and attractively textured with fine acidity. Drink now.

Distinct aromas of wood grain and pine crowd out any fruit scents. This feels somewhat flat, with resiny oak flavors resting on top of melony notes. A second wave of wood spice controls the finish.
