This dense and dark wine is full of ripe, richly juicy black fruits. Solid tannins and layers of wood are softening into the rest of the wine. It's going to develop slowly, releasing the fruit into t…
While the nose exudes burnt-toast aromas, the palate is much better suited to fruit. It has wood flavors, certainly, but these are well balanced with the ripe berry fruits and dark, brooding structur…
This 1,000-acre estate with 140 acres of vines is close to Bordeaux and still family owned. With bitter chocolate flavor lying over the fruit, this needs some aging before it can properly integrate.…
Already well balanced between botrytis and fresh fruits, this structured wine could develop quickly. The acidity, pineapple and apricot flavors are up front along with a dry structure with great pote…
Made by the Château Giscours winemaking team, this wine benefits from their expertise. Skill shows in the velvet textures, the ripe berry fruits and the hidden strength of the tannins and wood flavor…
Fonréaud's vineyard is on the highest point in the Médoc (all of 120 feet), at the southern end of the Listrac appellation. This wine, as often with this property, has started out rugged and solid wi…
While juicy Merlot dominates this wine, the structure comes from the perfumed Cabernet Sauvignon that brings out the tannins, while the fruit is packed with blackberry flavors. This ripe wine needs t…
This ripe wine shows a good balance between its rich black fruits and the densely tannic structure. It is still young and for now the wine is firm and dry. The ripe fruit will blossom over the next f…
While the fruit is delicious, full of blackberry flavors, a powerful tannic core shows a firmer side to this wine. As the wine opens up, it becomes dense, concentrated, with ripe Merlot fruitiness. A…
This wine is light and fresh, full of crisp and ripe black currant fruits that lie alongside gentle and open tannins. The wine has weight and a rich underlay, although it will develop well and relati…
Swathes of tarragon and lavender add lift to this stately Bordeaux-style blend. The palate is bright with sweet-tart black plum flavor, but supple and round, showing well-integrated oak notes and a f…
Fermented with 35% stems and aged in neutral French oak, this 100% varietal wine brings both hedonistic and intellectual enjoyment. Lighter in color, it offers intriguing notes of flowers, mineral, d…
Don Lorenzi is making a strong case for growing cool climate-loving Chardonnay in the hot Temecula Valley. This clonal study delivers honeysuckle, marzipan and lemon curd aromas, while the palate off…
Pinot-phile Brian Loring lends his deeply extracted style to this Rhône grape, delivering concentrated blueberry, black plum, dark chocolate and mint aromas. The palate is hearty, with mint chocolate…
There is an excellent depth of flavor in this ripe and fruity wine. It is more about rich fruits than it is about structure, giving a full and rounded character to the plum-jelly, spice and mint flav…
Marmalade, raisin and a hint of tropical fruit are balanced by the dry botrytis of this rich wine, which is based on the same grape varieties as Sauternes. It is elegant and ageworthy, but is also re…
From old Cabernet vines, this rich and full-bodied wine was made from a magnificent vintage. It has rich, ripe and powerful fruits that burst with energy and structure. It was bottled without added s…
This wine delivers a deep and sophisticated personality, with creamy aromas of banana, caramel, pineapple, vanilla and butterscotch. It definitely shows a big, bold style.
Ripe and peachy in style, with accents of brine, honey and cinnamon. It's round and voluptuous in the mouth, then gains focus and crispness on the finish, finishing without an excess of sugar. Try it…
To call this anything other than modern in style would be incorrect. It's soft and silky and direct in blackberry and cherry jam, chocolate and caramel flavors, although the finish is technically dry…
Shows much in common with past vintages of this bottling. It's dry, tart in acidity and somewhat earthy, with a nice balance of cherries, herbs and cedar. Feels complex and distinguished, in a dry, e…
This is the first Chenin Blanc from this up-and-coming winery. All native yeast fermented and aged in stainless steel, the aromas pop, with notes of pear, apple, lees and melon. Sleek in style, it br…
This wine is 76% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and 9% Grenache. Aromas of black fruit, bittersweet chocolate, coffee, raw meat and spice are followed by smooth black-coffee flavors. It lingers on the finish.
White peach and honey-butter aromas show on the nose of this richly styled bottling from one of the region's bigger producers. Salt and nectarine appear strongly on the palate, which is bound togethe…
