For those looking for a leaner, earthier but still-stylish Cabernet, this is the ticket. It's very dry, with soft Alexander Valley tannins and flavors of blackberries, cherries and herbs. This elegan…

A good, dry, fleshy wine. Not showing well now in its youth, because it's tannic and unintegrated, with flavors flying all over the place. But there's a solid core of blackberry and black cherry sour…

Celebrity chef Florence, in partnership with Rob Mondavi, from Folio Fine Wine Partners, has crafted this delicious, zesty Sauvignon Blanc. It's so rich in kiwi, lime, tangerine, wildflower, vanilla…

Dry, dustily tannic and somewhat closed down, this Cabernet clearly wants some time in the cellar. It has rich, juicy blackberry and cherry flavors, but the tannins and acidity close in fast, locking…

An interesting blend of 37% Carignan, 26% Shiraz, 20% Petit Verdot, 15% Petite Sirah and 2% Viognier, this is a delightful red that offers tons of complexity and character. Black plum, cherry and cur…

. There's a compact, traditional characteristic here that gives this wine smooth, sophisticated appeal. Aromas include white cherry, dried raspberry, tar, licorice and root beer. Twenty percent Malva…

The nose is shy and does not give much away. On the palate, beautifully pure red currant and tart red-cherry notes come through. The slender body is pervaded by freshness and has lovely overtones of…

The squat Port-like bottle is the first indication that this is no ordinary Sauvignon Blanc. The juice was intentionally oxidized, then barrel fermented and aged on the lees. It's complex winemaking,…

Earthy aromas suggesting grilled porcini, leather, tilled soil and balsam lead the nose. The dense, chewy palate offers mature black cherry, raspberry, licorice and dried sage flavors, set against a…

This winery has made a nice Sauvignon Blanc as far back as I can remember. The 2016 is a linear, precise example, tightly focused and crisp on the finish. The ample pineapple and grapefruit aromas an…

Integrated acidity and ripeness allow for a Good & Plenty licorice-like note, accenting the fresh apricot and white peach flavors in this lovely, easygoing sipper.

A limited-production wine made to commemorate the Supreme Court ruling on marriage equality, this full-bodied vineyard-designated wine is softly layered in bold, rich huckleberry pie and strawberry f…

Cool rooty aromas of cola and tree bark grace the nose on this ripe but still not fully mature Cabernet Sauvignon (with 5% Merlot). In the mouth, this is choppy due to sandpaper tannins. Flavors of s…

Golden Delicious apple meets tart Meyer lemon in this medium-bodied, expressive vineyard designate bolstered by 25% new French oak. A velvety texture enwraps its savory fruitiness and stony acidity.

Made of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 10% Syrah and 10% Sangiovese, this offers black currant scents laced with cake spice. The round, juicy palate delivers blackberry jam, pipe tobacco and clo…

This Picolit is light in color and lean in form but it does do a very good job of presenting elegant aromas and nuances. You'll recognize sweet honey, almond, orange zest and subdued herbal tones. It…

A ripe, crisp, yellow- and white-fruit-flavored wine. It shows taut minerality, the flintiness you find in Chablis. The structure is dominant in what is still a young wine, but the fruit is all there…

Den er merket som Syrah, men denne vinen inneholder også 10 % Grenache og 3 % Viognier, som begge bidrar til å fylle ut midtpartiet og lette aromaene. Timian, laurbærblad og kirsebærnoter fremhever n…

Ristet hasselnøtt, honningkake, eplekake og appelsinkrem leder den kraftige duften av denne overdådige Chenin. Den mellomtunge smaksopplevelsen er rik og glatt i teksturen, med rikelig syre for å bal…

Det finnes noen fantastiske kupp å finne i Costières de Nîmes, inkludert dette tilbudet fra Michel Gassier. Denne blandingen av 45 % Grenache, 25 % Syrah, 15 % Carignan, 10 % Mourvèdre og 5 % Cinsaul…

Friske, primære røde kirsebær og bær nyanseres med kompleksiteter av jord, røyk og tobakk i denne flotte blandingen av Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot og Cabernet Franc. Skarp tranebærsyre og fine, vedvar…

Mango og melonblanding med knust vitamin på nesen av denne Viura-Malvasia-Garnacha Blanca-blandingen. Dette føles bredt og ganske fyldig, med moderat syrlighet. Harpikslignende smaker av sagflis skyg…

Attraktive fynbos- og friske gressnoter dominerer nesen på denne forfriskende hvitvinen. Noter av lime, grønn plomme og stikkelsbær utfolder seg med mer intensitet på ganen, mens de urteaktige elemen…

Gressaktige, urteaktige toner dominerer nesen i denne lyse Sauvyen, med støttende fruktige noter av grapefruktskall, lime, hvit melon og umoden fersken. Ganen er frisk og livlig, med god syre og en m…
