Vinanmeldelser

Dette er en robust, tett og tanninrik vin, med 8 % hver av Cabernet Sauvignon og Malbec. Den trenger tid for å avsløre det som nå bare er antydninger av kaffe og svartkirsebærsyltetøy, med krydder av…

Den duftende blandingen av blomster og frukt introduserer en vin som allerede beveger seg mot sekundære fruktaromaer. Jordbær- og kirsebærnoter mykes opp med innslag av cola og karamell. Det er et hi…

Fast og stram i starten, denne slår gjennom med skinnsmaker av sitrus, fruktkjøttet av grapefrukt og et preg av lett tropisk frukt. Du sitter igjen med et snev av papaya i en avslutning med utmerket…

Ugjennomsiktig og tykk i fargen, denne bombastisk kraftige og konsentrerte vinen har en plommesøtme som lurer på bakre gane, myknet av dryss av vanilje og svart pepper på toppen av en solid porsjon b…

Reustle pioneered this variety (they now make three different bottlings) and this may be the best yet. The texture and depth are impressive, as is the detailed mix of melon and white peach, with just…

Stalky, gritty aromas of olive, eucalyptus and berry fruits are 100% Chilean. This feels big, wide and tannic. Flavors of roasted berry fruits are stalky and herbal, while this finishes with peppery,…

This is fruity and ripe, forward and round, with appealing tropical fruit flavors. There's moderate, but adequate, acidity, and the flavors are rounded off with a toasty note from aging 10 months in…

When a rosé pushes past 14% alcohol, that's an indication of a pretty potent wine. Here's a fine example, showcasing ripe strawberry and peach fruit, with excellent concentration and mouth-filling fl…

Blended with 10% Syrah, this is a voluptuous, rich wine, dry and full-bodied. It has blackberry, blueberry, chocolate, bacon and sweet oak flavors. Clearly the winery's best, albeit most expensive Ca…

An impression of this light-bodied wine starts with a vivid golden-yellow color and enticing aromas of fresh bread dough and marzipan. The taste itself is more lean than the aromas, showing crisp lem…

Earthy in cranberry and pomegranate, this is a new vineyard-designate offering from the producer, light in texture and tannin imprint. Soft, it gets meatier and denser in intensity through the finish…

A fruit and barrel style predominates on this wine, with aromas of Mounds Bar and spice playing off the variety's red and black fruit. The flavors are elegantly styled yet bring a pretty texture foll…

Weighty in cinnamon, this wine is soft and entirely spicy throughout, medium in weight and slightly complex. Blackberry and black cherry play off the firm tannins and structured oak, providing girth…

This immediately appealing wine offers aromas of plum, confection, blueberry, black olive and cocoa. The fruit flavors are sweet and concentrated, backed by lightly chalky tannins that will benefit f…

Made using techniques employed in crafting Pinot Noir, this wine has 5% Viognier blended in. It conveys a rustic sense of leather and black pepper, with waves of high-toned cherry, plum and brooding…

Spicy, peppery and still a bit sharp, this Merlot-dominated blend includes fruit from both estate vineyards—Seven Hills and Pepper Bridge. It shows the seamless polish that marks all of Jean-François…

Sort of a junior version of the winery's pricier vineyard block bruts, this blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is addictively good. Slightly sweet in honey, it has lime, raspberry and yeast flavors,…

Pretty and forward, this lovely wine bursts forth with raspberry and sweet cherry tomato fruit flavors. A slight mintiness can also be detected, all within the context of an impeccably balanced, firm…

Another fine Syrah from Otis Kenyon Winemaker Dave Stephenson, this full-flavored wine shows clear varietal character. Tasty fruit flavors of blueberry and boysenberry are highlighted with baking spi…

Firm and tartly wound, with cassis and black cherry at the core of a young, stiffly tannic, Cabernet-based blend. Black fruits are nuanced with earth and olive, smoke and graphite, all subtle but def…

Few wines in the world are richer than this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It's extraordinarily powerful in ripe, concentrated raspberry, cherry and blackberry jam, liberally oaked. Soft and…

The rarest of the Spring Valley wines, this pure Cabernet Sauvignon offers ripe plum fruit flavors, wrapped in baking chocolate and licorice. It finishes with accents of sandalwood and citrus.

Old-vine Grenache (80%, the balance is Syrah) aged in old oak casks has resulted in a wine textured like heavy cream or velvet, with the merest hints of vanilla and cedar to the cherry fruit. Lingers…

A classic coastal California Pinot, dry, silky and complex. So easy to like, gliding across the palate with raspberry, cherry, Canadian bacon and smoky sandalwood flavors that are filled with umami r…
