Vinanmeldelser

Ripe berry, cassis and grilled meat aromas presage a fresh, zesty palate with free-flowing acidity that pumps up cherry, red plum, cassis and loamy earth flavors. It stays fruity, stout and smooth on…

This deftly made wine from a newly built winery in California's San Joaquin Valley balances pure fruit flavors, mildly spicy oak nuances, firm acidity and fine tannins. It has tasty black cherry and…

Sommeliers will love this Chardonnay for its lean, Chablis-like elegance. The lemon and passion fruit flavors stand alongside stony minerality and a leesy, sourdough bread tartness, while the brisk a…

This is intensely minerally and very tight. It has a real steely character, with its acidity packed tight into the concentrated texture, making this dense wine likely to age over three years.

While this is dry, it is enormously rich in orange and guava flavors, with an oaky overlay that tastes sweet in buttered toast and vanilla. Salmon or lamb with a fruity tapenade or salsa should make…

Pure notes of Conference pear define both nose and palate. The body is textured and concentrated but remains slender. Fresh acidity, dryness and slightly bitter pitch make for a beautiful, poised out…

An almost apple-like and appetizing contrast between crunchy acidity and ripe fruitfulness makes this a compelling propostion. Primary fruit shines here and is very pure. This is like a crisp crunchy…

Hints of struck flint and white currant lead the way, followed by herbal, currant-like flavors and notes of fresh fig. This is medium-bodied, but with hints of creaminess to its texture and a long, w…

The region's most widely available wine remains a solid benchmark. Exotic aromas of citrus blossom and tropical fruit make a bold impression, followed up on the palate by ample weight and a touch of…

Such a tiny amount produced, yet the quality makes you wish for much, much more. The pale coppery rosé is wonderfully rich and toasty, with lovely raspberry and cherry fruit, a fine bead plus excelle…

Candied cherry, cola, wild mint and anise swirl into a layered nose on this wine by a duo of relatively new winemakers, Ian Sergy and Zach Jarosz. Light coffee, clove-spiced berry juice and cinnamon-…

Honey, crisp lemon and poached apple make for an excellent nose on this blend of 31% Marsanne, 26% Roussanne, 22% Grenache Blanc, 11% Viognier and 10% Picpoul. The flavors are equally impressive, wit…

Longboard shies away from overt fruit in favor of earthier tobacco flavors in this dry, complex and tannic young Pinot Noir. That doesn't mean you won't find plenty of raspberries and cherries. The w…

This full-bodied, creamy-textured Cabernet is ready to drink. Confected notes of cassis and vanilla are slightly exaggerated, but make a big impression on the palate, while the supple tannins linger…

All the parts are here to make this Pinot a lovely companion to appropriate beef, pork and game dishes, especially if wild mushrooms are involved. The wine is utterly dry and bright in acidity, and t…

From the home vineyards of the Saget family, this a warm and generous wine. While endowed with many green Sauvignon Blanc characteristics, the tropical fruit style makes it feel rich. As it ages, it…

A blend of Touriga Nacional and Alicante Bouschet with Syrah, this is a finely structured wine. It is spicy, packed with black-currant fruits and with ripe tannins. The fruits and the dusty texture a…

An amazingly sweet and rich wine, this has a floral aroma and great concentration. It offers layers of flavor like dried fruit, honey and boysenberry syrup, with good acidity for balance. This makes…

This winery not only makes a bunch of single vineyard bottlings, but also tries to show off different styles. This one shows sweeter white peach, ripe cantaloupe, lush mango and a touch of vanilla on…

Store smaker, full kropp og markerte tanniner balanserer hverandre for å gjøre denne store vinen til en vinner. Den har modne aromaer av svart kirsebær og tørket fiken, en overflod av fruktige smaker…

Mørke tranebær- og coladuft blandes med salvie og ristet fennikel i duften på denne flasken, en hyllest til Bill Foleys forfedre som ranchere i Texas. Tranebær og svart kirsebær møter ganen mens rist…

En rik og innbydende nese av bærfylte bakverk, tørkede jordbær, stuede kirsebær og salviekratt starter denne lagdelte vinen. Smaken viser smakfullt knust svart pepper sammen med jordbær, plomme og sv…

Denne distinkte vinen har en lys til middels farge, med komplekse og noe jordaktige aromaer. Veldig smakfull og variert, med hint av svart te og rabarbra. Den har middels fylde, en beroligende, glatt…

Modne, lette aromaer av tørket kirsebær, rosin og sederrik krydder er ikke ukjente for lagret, tradisjonell Rioja som dette. Smaken er frisk i følelsen, med et hint av eikeresin som påvirker munnføle…
