A broad, ripe and very accessible wine. Spiced by nutmeg and vanilla, it is based on solid, chunky black fruits and distinguished layer of tannins. Ready to drink, or keep for one year.
Dry, leafy and herbal, with cherry, berry and mossy aromas. The palate is meaty and chewy, with an extra dose of heft and body to support black fruit and herbal flavors. The finish is kind of quick a…
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…
The 80% new oak on this wine really sticks out, giving toasty, caramelized and vanilla bean notes. That makes the underlying cherry, blackberry and raspberry fruit, which is superripe, taste jammy, a…
Nice aromas of cherry fruit and sweetness are perfectly clean, while the palate is slightly spunky and high in acid, with wild-berry flavors running side by side with red cherry and citrus. Has a tar…
Champoux is one of Washington's most revered vineyards, known especially for the rich, black cherry fruit on display here. However, this wine seems to be aging rather quickly, the flavors turning sof…
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…
Vincent Couche has a specialty with very dry Champagne. This wine, with some bottle age, is rich, warm and generous, yet quite dry. A touch of toast adds complexity to ripe apple fruits.
This blend of barrique-aged Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon has a fragrance of oak and bell pepper. The palate shows red currant, cherry, oak, coffee and chocolate notes. Although it has generous f…
Very lemony, this is a crisp citrus- and peach-flavored wine. It has delicious, refreshing fruitiness that contrasts with a softer, rounded texture. For drinking now and until 2018.
The Cor wines are always notable for their limited use of new French oak (this wine saw none) and a style best suited for the dinner table. This wine is no exception with distinctly fruity aromas of…
Tight acidity with a strong minerality, apple and apricot flavors just touched by vanilla. This is fruity, while also textured and structured. Worth aging, so drink from 2015.
Here's a rich, smooth wine for drinking now. It's softly luscious, packed with blackberry, cherry, anise and cedar flavors that finish with quite a bit of complexity.
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…
Flavor is what this Zin is all about. It's deep and long in blackberry jam, black currants, raisins, cassis liqueur and black-pepper spice, along with a hint of smoky oak. The tannins are firm and th…
This Cab has the fruity concentration of its famous mountain origin, and is explosive in blackberries, blueberries and currants, along with plenty of caramelized oak. It's also quite tannic, which gi…
Apple and spice give this wine a bright as well as subtle character. Citrus acidity combines with a tangy, zesty texture. It still needs to age, so drink from 2015.
Hints of almond and lemon rind lend complexity to sweet honeydew and white peach flavors in this featherlight Riesling. Lacy sweetness coats the midpalate, offsetting streaks of tart lemon-lime and g…
This is half Cab Franc, the rest an equal mix of Malbec, Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon. Blackberry and black cherry fruits fill the mouth, with just a hint of barrel toast and coffee grounds. Ci…
This wine has structure and tannins. With ripe apples and quince flavors, it is tight, tense while also full in the mouth. A strong background of acidity gives concentration and considerable freshnes…
Moss and wet earth aromas accent a dark, bramble berry core. The medium-bodied palate is supported by supple tannins and shows adequate concentration of cherry and blackberry tones, enlivened by a st…
This is a very nice value wine with balsam wood, almond candy, cola and black-fruit aromas. The palate feels pure and fresh, with a ton of plum, berry, cocoa and tobacco flavors. It's smooth, long an…
Waterbrook consistently provides high-quality wines at affordable prices and this appealing Cabernet is just another example. Dark cherry, cocoa and barrel notes from a kiss of new American oak (19%)…
