Very firm and tannic, this gently earthy Merlot-dominated blend also includes 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. Cranberry and pomegranate red fruits are softened with buttery oak, and the…

This vintage of the Reiver seems mintier than others, and at times the mint seemed a dominant feature of this wine, which otherwise offers jammy berry fruit and chocolate aromas and flavors. At 15% a…

Laurenz Moser V makes deliciously fruity Grüner, allowing the ripe character of the grape to dominate. This wine, bright with apple and citrus flavors, is light, breezy and ready to drink. Screwcap.

While thick and viscous with ripe blackberry and blueberry fruit, Musician's Zin is smooth in tannins and texture. Fruit dominates to the finish with a hit of characteristic pepper on the finish.

The Roussanne really shines in the blend, offering rich, ripe, soft, seductive aromas of peaches and apricots, then folding into a broad midpalate with no rough edges. There is a definite peaches-and…

A fruity style, not powerful but bright, with some rich strawberry jam flavors. It has an edge of tannins as well as spice, dried fruits and a cool, soft aftertaste.

This Syrah-dominant blend, with 25% Carignan and 5% Grenache, leads with oak-driven aromas of charred cedar, sweet smoke and vanilla bean that envelop the ripe blackberry and cherry fruit tones. The…

Hints of earthy spice and bark add interest to the somewhat muted blackberry and black plum aromas. The wine opens up more on the palate, revealing a lush and creamy texture, with dense blackberry fl…

Soft and rich, a wine that shows the warmth of the vintage in this southern Burgundy appellation. It's full of yellow fruits with just a hint of pineapple along with a good line in acidity. A sense o…

The fruity characteristics are the star of this wine, with heady notes of forest berry, red plum and cherry that flood the nose and mouth. Accents of chocolate, menthol and sweet smoke add depth, but…

From one of Amarone's most esteemed producers, this shows lots of oak on the nose, along with ripe blackberry aromas. The palate is dominated by oak and vanilla, but it also has black cherry notes an…

A wine with some structure, firm tannins and attractive black cherry and spice flavors. The wine has good weight and a dense texture that promises medium-term aging.

The largest appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise produces here a foursquare, solid wine. It has red fruits, although the structure is what is dominant at this stage. There is a dry, smoky, meaty flavo…

Big, bold and juicy, with ripe black fruits that dominate the rich tannins. The power and concentration both promise a good future for this solid, full-bodied wine, so keep for 4–5 years.

The nose on this 50-50 blend is piercing, with dark cherry, black plum and mild herbal aromas running the show. The mouthfeel is focused and fresh, and the flavors of cherry, raspberry, plum and choc…

Dusty apple and white peach aromas provide a nice greeting. The wine is basic and tangy in terms of feel, with lemon-lime, bitter lettuce, banana, nectarine and pineapple flavors. While not exactly c…

Based in the small Sézanne vineyard region south of Epernay, this producer's nonvintage cuvée is dominated by Chardonnay. It reflects the house style: crisp, steely with a good balance between acidit…

Frisk og ikke for eiket på duften, med eple som dominerer fruktelementet. Føles fyldig og litt rik, med runde, søte smaker av eple med et innslag av krydder. Blir klissete og mer søt på finishen, men…

En lett stil med friske smaker av rips, syre og et snev av mineralitet.

Snakk om en variert men tiltalende bukett: denne har sitron, fersken, tørkede urter—selv litt honning. Smakene går mest mot sitrus—hovedsakelig sitron og appelsin. Men det er også et snev av søt anan…

Dijon-klon igjen. Denne har bare en vag antydning av løk, men er ellers mye forbedret sammenlignet med denne eiendommens '99. Det er god, saftig og frisk frukt blanding av eple/aprikos og lett sitrus…

Denne blandingen av Syrah, Grenache og Cinsault er mindre åpenbart fruktig enn mange Provençalske roséer, men kompenserer for det med tyngde og rikhet. Det er en rund, fyldig stil, med en lagdelt tek…

En herlig Côtes-du-Rhône-lignende vin, denne blandingen av ung Syrah og Grenache med gammel Carignan og Cinsault har rikelig med krydder sammen med god fruktighet. Tørket kanel, nellik og et hint av…

Denne blandingen av 50% Mourvèdre og 50% Syrah viser dype, plommeaktige aromaer og smaker av bjørnebær, krydder og cola. Den er middels fyldig, med myke tanniner og et snev av varme i avslutningen. D…
