Leafy and spicy, with notes of paprika, tomato, dried leaves and broth. But in the mouth, it's fresh and vital, with good balance and flavors of dried cassis, tobacco and herbs. For an older wine fro…

The 2005 vintage of this vineyard designate Nebbiolo scored an outstanding 94 points, but this edition of Barolo Vigna Rué doesn't quite live up to its predecessor. There are some sharper notes of re…

A really nice wine that shows how well Sauvignon Blanc can grow in Livermore Valley. The wine is completely dry and quite tart in acidity, and the lemon, lime, tropical fruit and grassy flavors are e…

Fruity and full-flavored, this quaffable Riesling brings a full share of peachy fruit, honeysuckle and English breakfast tea. The residual sugar is just over 1%, and the acids compensate, giving it g…

A soft, moderately jammy old-vine Zinfandel—the vines at Mohr-Fry Ranch go back to 1901 and 1944—that's heady in spicy ripe blackberry with an impressive backbone of structure and mouthwatering textu…

Spring flower, pear and citrus aromas lead the way on this vibrant sparkler. The fruity scents carry over to the linear racy palate along with a hint of yellow apple and crisp acidity.

Sterkt eiket og gjennomsyret av smør og harpiks, er dette en vin for de som er betatt av det obskure. Blendingen er 90 % Callet og 10 % Fogoneu, og ikke be oss om å gi deg historien til disse mallorc…

Nesen på denne hvitvinen appellerer fra starten av. Elegante bølger av sitron, appelsinblomst og ferskenaromaer etterfølges av en balansert, men luksuriøs blanding av pære, fersken og hvite blomster…

Anas-Cëtta er en uimotståelig vin for de som søker lite kjente, særpregede druesorter. Laget av 100% Nascetta (en innfødt drue som brukes av et fåtall produsenter), er dette en modig, kraftfull vin m…
