Charred, earthy black-fruit aromas are smoky and power-packed. This feels full yet balanced, with freshness and strong tannins. Ripe berry, prune and oak-spice flavors finish with a note of vanilla a…
A handful of Cabernet Franc is included in this wine, which is full-bodied and quite robust, indicative of its mountain birth. While violet and rose florals accent dark cherry tastes, the tannin weig…
From a former Kosta Browne winemaker comes this very dark Syrah, which shows still-wound-up aromas of elderberry, black coffee, white pepper and a touch of game. There are rich soy and beef notes onc…
In the classic Portuguese tradition, this is a blend of four of the Alentejo's local grapes. Together they give big power and dark tannins. They also offer great black fruits, fresh acidity and a fir…
The high percentage of Touriga Franca in this wine has given it structure as well as red berry fruitiness. It is generous, but supported by a dry core of tannins. Twelve months in wood have smoothed…
This is a big, bold, fruity wine, typical of the powerful reds of Alentejano. It has ripe tannins, concentrated dark fruits and juicy final acidity. With a blend that includes Cabernet Sauvignon and…
Just as the wine's label suggests, this is a wine born under the sun. It is full and rich in superripe fruit tempered by ample acidity. Wood aging gives spice and a slightly burnt character that need…
The inaugural offering of this block-designate is dark and brooding, with tightly constructed, sizable tannins and oak still pronounced on the palate. Time should develop its floral notes of rose and…
One of Mikael Sigouin's single-vineyard studies, this shows sandalwood, rose petals and juicy berries on the nose. It's ripe yet restrained on the palate, with plump red berries that pull back before…
Velvety chocolate and dark plum flavors give this wine a smooth, satisfying mouthfeel, assisted by well-integrated oak. Dark and brooding, it reflects its hillside provenance without succumbing entir…
Dark pink and hearty, this is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that spent six months fermenting in stainless steel. Balanced, it offers some heft on the midpalate before finishing crisp and b…
This rich, wood-aged wine is full of yellow fruits with a tight texture. Mineral driven, it's crisp with its apple acidity and bright, steely structure. It's so fresh now, but could age well to creat…
The mint, cassis and baking spice aromas are classic New World Cabernet, as is the wine's ample body and creamy texture. By purist standards, it's too drinkable, too approachable now, with tannins th…
A wine that already shows some of the typical oxidative character of Savagnin. It creates a wine that has great style, richness and wonderful tangy, smoky character. It could age further, although it…
A full-bodied, slightly oxidative wine that wears its character well. There is a toastiness here along with some apple and apricot fruits, giving a rich feel to the wine. It's ready to drink but can…
A very mineral, textured wine that has a dark fruit character. Acidity, spice, black plum skins and a solid structure all point to a wine that needs to age a few more months. Drink from 2014.
This Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend has high ambitions, to judge by the richness. It is absolutely massive in blackberries, black currants, dark chocolate and caramelized oak. It's far too strong to…
Petit Verdot is the current darling of the Bordeaux crowd in California. It's not hard to see why. It produces darkly colored, dry wines, deeply flavored in currants, cassis, chocolate and, often, vi…
This is typically full, dark and rich, with balsamic aromas of roasted berry and leather. A tannic mouthfeel runs deep and dense, while flavors of licorice and baked black fruits finish with a heavy…
A toasty, leathery, baked-fruit bouquet is sultry and includes hints of popcorn and caramel. In the mouth, this is tannic and full-bodied, with flavors of bacon, hickory smoke, blackened spices and b…
A rich, full-bodied wine with small amounts of Merlot and Malbec, this offers sizable tannins that wrap themselves around dark, brooding fruit and smoky oak. Blackberry and plum intertwine around lux…
This vibrant red opens with aromas of ground pepper, dark-skinned fruit and blue flower. The tight palate delivers ripe black cherry, crushed raspberry, white pepper and aromatic herb along a backbon…
A light hay color, this wine from Andres Ibarra and Caren Rideau offers a delicate butternut squash cream-sauce element on the nose, along with white rocks and pineapple sherbet. There's lots of pep…
Like all the Duval wines, this is amply structured. Cedar and vanilla notes frame dark fruit flavors in this blend of 51% Shiraz, 30% Grenache and 19% Mourvèdre. Its full bodied, with a long, dusty f…
