Vinanmeldelser

Dette er en tørr, tanninrik vin fra eiendommen som er rik og moden med et læraktig preg av kruttrøyk og bjørnebær. Den viser mer av svart frukt og krydret pepper enn frukt som er delikat eller frisk.

Oppkalt etter Tempelridderne som hadde hovedkvarter i Tejo-regionen i Portugal i middelalderen, har denne eiendommen produsert en fruktig, myk og rund hvitvin. Den har en attraktivt aromatisk karakte…

Litt grønne aromaer av oliven og hesteskinn skygger for generiske plomme- og bærnoter. Denne føles livlig, men stram og tartarisk. Ristede smaker av svart kaffe overgår plomme og bjørnebær, mens den…

Treffer både den fete og magre siden av Sauvignon Blanc med både fiken- og gressaktige smaker. En godt balansert vin som viser en glatt munnfølelse og en lang ettersmak. Dette er en vin å nyte med gr…

Fast, fruktig vin med gode, rene druesmak. Enkelt og modent, med en stor, tanninrik avslutning.

Alkoholholdig, flyktig aroma, med noen litt syrlige kanter. Vinen er myk og fruktig, med en rask, varm, alkoholisk avslutning og veldig tørre tanniner.

Med gummikaktige, svakt urteaktige aromaer av generisk rød bær, virker denne standard på nesen. I munnen er den frisk, men slår hardt med syre, mens enkle smaker av bringebær og plomme ender urteakti…

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…

Produced by the Bunan family whose main estates are in Bandol, this light, simple and fruity blend includes Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault. It is soft and approachable, fruity with strawberry flavors a…

This is a mild-mannered, softly one-dimensional version of the variety, robust in chocolate mocha and blueberry jam that finishes easily.

From estate fruit, this Chardonnay falls a bit flat in the mouth. The fruit is light and simple, and there is a hint of bitterness that leave a chemical aftertaste.

This subtle, elegant sip starts with aromas of spicebox, tobacco and rich dark fruit, followed by flavors of cherry, cedar and cinnamon spice. A softer style, integrated red that will pair well with…

A light floral and toasty nose leads into this clean, slightly racy Chardonnay from New York. There's a touch of sweetness to the wine but it's balanced by good oak and an earthiness to the finish.

Dusty and neutral on the nose, with a hint of wild flower and mineral to stir interest. The palate is dry despite having some size and plumpness; flavors of apple, peach and papaya are crisp and lean.

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…

Barrel fermented and aged on the lees for almost a year, this is a nutty, slightly oily wine that shows the influence of the barrel, but lacks the fruit density to match it. The 14% alcohol hits the…

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.

Broad and slightly too sweet for its modest acid levels (17 g/l residual sugar; 5.3 g/l TA), this wine does deliver oodles of succulent fruit, ranging from red berries to ripe peaches and citrus.

This is a powerful Chardonnay. It's explosive in tropical fruit, in malic acids and in new charred oak. All the parts kind of stick out on their own, going in different directions. It's a good New Wo…

Leathery aromas of roasted black fruits show on the nose. Solid in feel, cherry, raspberry and a kick of salt house a medium-bodied palate.

A robust structure of tannin and oak in this fuller-bodied wine masks the finer components of black cherry and blackberry fruit that lurk underneath layers of tobacco and cigar box.

Peppery, herbal aromas are gritty and a touch green on the nose. This Syrah-led blend is lean in body and relatively high in acid, with a scratchy palate. Quickly fleeting flavors of raspberry and cu…

Waxy plum and a surprising characteristic of watermelon provide a subtle freshness to this otherwise hugely tannic, concentrated wine. Tar and yeast play a role as well.

An initial cranberry note is subdued by vanilla and clove aromas. Spice is dominant on the palate, interspersed with anise and leafiness. Full bodied and big on flavor, this would be a good steak acc…
