This dark Rosso opens with aromas of dark fruit and bramble, with subtle background hints of wild mushroom and cured meat. Endnotes of crushed black pepper and crushed clove bring up the rear.
Smells sort of furry and earthy initially, with notes of graphite and woodspice. Feels narrow and grabby, with pointed acididty framing red plum, cherry and lightly oaky, minty flavors. Fits the defi…
Peppery notes emanate from the bouquet first, followed by more traditional notes of black plum, black currant leaf and dried fig. The mouth is loaded with more brambly fruit flavors against an easygo…
Opens with earthy, leafy aromas that can best be described as “mature.” Throw in tobacco and baked plum, and the picture is complete. The palate is concentrated and tight, with sweet, herbal berry fl…
Sweet grass and soft baby powder notes mingle with the ripe gooseberry and lime aromas and flavors. Brisk and lively with a soft prickly sensation on the palate and a mouthwatering finish.
Prominent oak and butter aromas and flavors give this medium-bodied wine a sweet impression, and its mouthfeel is smooth and soft. It smells like caramel and tastes like pears.
This is a rounded smooth wine. It does have a crisp edge of red currants and acidity but the main flavor comes from the ripe red-berry fruits and touch of caramel. Drink the wine now.
Tastes unusually lush and soft for a Napa Cab. While it's officially dry, sweet, caramelized oak and raspberry-jam flavors, along with a slick, glycerine mouthfeel, makes it as rich as a candy bar.
Reflecting the difficulties of the vintage, this is a slightly edgy, coarsely textured wine, with sweet, oaky notes framing cherries and roasted beets. Try it with something slightly rustic, like bee…
There's no doubt this is 100-percent Petite Sirah, full of dark plummy fruit and an earthy element that's close to mushrooms and dirt. Aged over two years in French oak the wine even has a slight hin…
This amber-colored Marsala opens with earthy tones of porcini mushroom, caramel, burnt sugar and candied fruit. It's a thick, syrupy wine with savory, leathery details on the long finish.
Lively and fresh with a floral and lemon citrus character in the nose and on the palate, this full-bodied Gewürtz offers lovely aromas and full-bodied flavors. Dry in style with a clean character. Pa…
There's hearty earthiness and darkness to this bottling, with black plum, beets, cola, rhubarb, turned earth and a light asphalt character to the nose. The palate is framed by aggressive acidity, sho…
Bramble, wild cherry and touches of dill and bay leaf show on the nose of this bottling. The palate, which is thick with tannins though not too rich, shows damp and dewy flavors of marjoram and orega…
A late release from this cool vintage, this wine offers aromas of cocoa and berry. The flavors are light and restrained, framed by tart acidity.
There are very distinctive botanical aromas on this wine, from salted orange peels to juniper bush, almost like a gin. The palate is also incredibly herbal, with dried dill, marjoram and basil, which…
This is a soft and fruity wine, ripe with red-berry fruits and perfumed acidity. A light touch of caramel and tannin give the right structure, and the aftertaste is bright and fruity.
Deilige aromaer viser søt frukt, kirsebærlakris-smaker, sammen med noen grønne tanniner i en syrlig, stram avslutning.
Ung og fremoverlent, denne behagelige vinen bringer svartkirsebærfrukt fram i sentrum—en god start, men den utvikler seg egentlig ikke videre. Den bare går raskt og stille ut.
Smaker av sitron, smør og marshmallow følger rike aromaer av karamell som denne middels fyldige, mykteksturerte vinen sprer sine fyldige, kandiserte smaker over ganen. Den er veldig velsmakende i en…
Steinfruktaromaer av nektarin og moden fersken med honningdrypp etterfølges av middels pluss søte fruktaromaer. Det er en rettfram og lettdrikkelig vin.
Livlige aromaer av blåbær, bringebær og skogsbær preger denne rosatoen. Et snev av bitter mandelskall kommer fram på den friske avslutningen.
Denne Chardonnay har mineralske toner og er tørr, med stram syre og strukturert kvede-frukt. Avslutningen er skarp.
