Akkurat slik du ønsker at en rosé musserende vin skal være. Fargen er en vakker oransje-kobber, med glimt av gull. Aromaene av appelsiner, fersken, Meyer-sitroner, lime, jordbær og brioche er fristen…

Jordaktige aromaer av kirsebær og plomme gir en følelse av bakt modenhet, mens en blomsteraktig såpenot er eterisk. Denne føles fyldig, dyp og på kanten til full modenhet. En sjenerøs blanding av plo…

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot shows oaky tones of exotic spice delivered in a steady and even manner with loads of plump fruit and blackberry at the back.

Rich and toasty, this is a swirl of mocha and raspberry doing a lovely pas de deux. It's sharp and focused, a little high-toned, and thoroughly delicious.

Corbaia is a delicious blend of Sangiovese (70%) and Cabernet Sauvignon that shows compact but well-etched lines of forest fruit, bramble, cranberry and sharp, savory spice. The tannins are firm, tig…

Smooth and chocolaty, this palate-coating Syrah brings ripe black-cherry flavors into a lush and compelling core. Just a hint of leather does not detract from the powerful fruit.

Ripe fruit, dried apricot, candied fruit and sweet caramel open the nose of this amber-colored dessert wine. The wine imparts a thick, chewy mouthfeel, with loads of apricot sweetness and honey-coate…
