A bit weedy and thin in fruit, but not bad for the price. It's a dry, silky wine, with gentle flavors of cherries, mint, cola and sandalwood.

The blend is Bordeaux grapes with a few other varieties. The wine is ripe in blackberry, chocolate and herb flavors that are very good, but the structure is harsh, the tannins are hard and the finish…

Ripe and rich, but rather heavy and softly sweet, this wine lacks the vibrancy and elegance you want in a fine Pinot Noir, especially at this price. It's a decent everyday wine, with cola, rhubarb pi…

Very dry and rather sharp in fruit-skin acidity, with a tart bite to the cherries, cola and licorice. A good, rustic wine for drinking now.

A tough, gritty wine, with hard, scoury tannins and the kind of brambly, briary wild berry flavors you might find in a Zinfandel. Finishes with peppery, sandpapery roughness. Might develop in the bot…

This started out as a perfectly nice Chardonnay. It was dry, crisp and balanced, with a minerality under the pineapple and peach flavors. Then the winemaker decided to plaster it with oak, and it tas…

A low-intensity wine with dull apricot aromas and mild oxidization. Riesling is the base grape, but the wine is mildy Sherried and honeyed, with burnt orange as the lead flavor. Heavy orange and apri…

Oak dominates this wine, towering over everything else and offering a strong dose of caramel, hardened by wood tannins. There are some good cherry and red currant flavors, but they're swamped by the…

Dry, acidic and tannic, in the manner of a young Barbera, but the flavors of cherries, blackberries and currants aren't powerful enough to outlast the astringency. Drink this tough, rustic wine now.

Tastes too over-oaked for what you get. There are modest cherry-berry flavors, but the wine is dominated by smoky char, caramel and butterscotch. Ready now.

Paola Gloder's estate can do better than this, especially in a vintage like 1997. The wine is already showing signs of aging and it has a lightweight character. The fruit is pleasant enough, with sof…

Pleasant, soft wine, easy to drink, its fruits round and somewhat dilute. It doesn't resonate, but is certainly fresh and crisp.

Opens with hard black cherry aromas and roasted notes, while the palate is robust and not uncomfortable, with herbal cassis and blackberry flavors. Warm and slightly buttery on the finish. Regular st…

Aged 14 months in Russian Oak, this is a different kind of Chard with notes of chamomile, fresh mint sprigs, vanilla and cigar tobacco among the more typical melon fruits and lime citrus. Medium-full…

A sniff reveals somewhat cheesy, salinic red fruit aromas that struggle to keep their poise. The palate is fresh and forward, but it also smacks down with narrowing, hard tannins. Tastes of red cherr…

Brickish in color, and seemingly thin. Aromas of baked fruit, compost, tobacco, vanilla and burnt coffee are challenging, while the palate is earthy and tastes leafy as well as sweet. On the positive…

Dark purple in color, with a creamy, candied, berry fruit nose that's potent but not very stirring. The palate shows concentration, but the flavors don't go beyond the basics: cassis, blackberry and…

Denne enkle men friske Chianti Classico er et utmerket valg for enkle pastaretter. Det er en slank, kompakt men frisk vin som ville balansere godt mot ostetopper.

Denne toskanske Merloten viser umodne aromaer av grønne urter og oliven, støttet av en rå, skarp følelse. Den tilbyr en frisk syre mot slutten.

Vinen er rund og myk med attraktive bærfrukter og modning i trefat. Den er fruktig med saftig syrlighet, frisk svart solbær og en tørr kjerne som vil tillate den å eldes 2017–2018.

Fra en 17 mål stor vinmark dominert av Merlot er dette en tørr vin, der tanninene dominerer frukten. Vinen har en bitter bismak fra for mye utvinning. Fruktnyanser er ikke helt tilstrekkelige.

Druene kommer fra Alexander, Dry Creek og Russian River-dalene for å lage denne vinen, først lansert i 1997. Eikepreg og mild på ganen, med hint av nellik, svart pepper og tørkede urter, mens robuste…

En pen, lett Pinot som viser druetypens silkemyke tekstur og kirsebærsmaker, men den blir tynnere på ettersmaken.

En litt tung og saftig rik vin med smaker av kirsebærpai, bringebær og rips. Eik tilfører de vanlige røykfylte, krydrede tonene. Drikk nå.
