Vinanmeldelser

This wine comes from the original, own-rooted, 1965 plantings. It would be interesting to trace the ancestry of these vines, as such things were far less understood 50 years ago. Soft, round and frui…

The fruit is light and a touch sour, with suggestions of watermelon and berry. It fades into a short finish with a citrusy frame.

This cuvée is a barrel selection, fermented with whole berries and aged in 35% new oak. Simple strawberry and raspberry fruit seems almost weightless, and the quick finish carries a strong streak of…

This gentle, quaffable wine offers light flavors of strawberry and apple. There's generous acidity, and despite the fairly substantial alcohol, it's modest in its proportions.

This field blend of Grenache, Zinfandel, Carignane and Cinsault was fermented in stainless steel and partially aged in neutral oak. Its strawberry and orange flavors combine effortlessly within its l…

Made from organically farmed grapes grown in an estate vineyard, then cradled in American oak, this delivers subdued aromas of ripe, lusty lemon and big oak. Lurching toward the finish are flavors of…

Soft and diffuse, this offers light flavors of pear with a hint of spice. Done entirely in stainless steel, it's a good, all-purpose white.

This kitchen-sink blend is made up of 67% Zinfandel, followed by 28% Cabernet Sauvignon and a small handful of Merlot. Aged in both French and American oak, less than half of it new, it's soft and qu…

Caramel and vanilla wrap around generously ripe flavors of apple, pear and tropical papaya. Entirely fermented in oak, its wood provides a medium-bodied mouthfeel and ample accents of sweetness and s…

This pure Cabernet spent 22 months in a mix of French and American oak, though what percentage was new is not stated. It enters the palate with a pleasing mix of cassis, tar and a hint of mint, then…

Fragrant, with notes of ripe cherry and strawberry, this brisk, bright Pinot Noir is delicately framed, but juicy with nervy sour-cherry and cranberry flavors. Drying tannins make this an elegant foo…

Open and ripe, the wine has red fruits and warm tannins. Caramel and vanilla flavors lend a richness to the wine.

This is a nice Sauvignon Blanc for drinking now with ethnic fare, from Mexican to Vietnamese and Ethiopian. Its acidic citrus flavors will brighten and heighten richly sauced chicken dishes, .

A faint hint of pink shines on this sparkler named after the winery owners' dog. Aromas of fresh melon and slight peach lead to a faint cherry note upon sipping and creamy mouthfeel, followed by plum…

Made principally from Touriga Nacional, this is a rich wine with attractive acidity and strawberry fruitiness. It is ripe, touched with caramel and finished with wild raspberry flavors.

Overworked and oaky, with vanilla, buttered toast and sweet caramel flavors dominating everything else. Buried beneath are pineapple and pear flavors.

Fair Play-based Perry Creek's Cab has high toned blue and red fruit and is tamely structured for being from high-elevation vineyards. Its finish is sweetly floral.

Opens with earthy, leafy aromas that can best be described as “mature.” Throw in tobacco and baked plum, and the picture is complete. The palate is concentrated and tight, with sweet, herbal berry fl…

Light and tart, with high acid cranberry fruit flavors. It's clean and straightforward, though the old vines (some are 34 years old) do not deliver the complexity that might be anticipated.

Named after the almost gold appearance of the Chardonnay vines at harvest time, this is a soft wine, with hints of the mineral tang that embodies Pouilly Fuissé. It has pear and white peach fruit fla…

Prominent oak and butter aromas and flavors give this medium-bodied wine a sweet impression, and its mouthfeel is smooth and soft. It smells like caramel and tastes like pears.

This is a rounded smooth wine. It does have a crisp edge of red currants and acidity but the main flavor comes from the ripe red-berry fruits and touch of caramel. Drink the wine now.

An acidic, bone-dry Chardonnay, brilliant in fruit, that doesn't seem to have been touched by oak. It's so pure in zesty Meyer lemon, lime and kiwi flavors, with a mouthwateringy clean finish.

This is quite light, almost ephemeral, with tart raspberry and red licorice flavors and a strong metallic/mineral streak. It is delicately made, and interesting, but comparable to a simple Bourgogne…
