Vinanmeldelser

En middelmådig vin, varm og bakt, med søte, syltetøyaktige bærsmaker.

Myk, sukker-søt og enkel, som en fruktjuice laget av aprikoser, fersken og ananas.

Laget i moderne stil, en forutsigbar Chardonnay med for mye eik som ligger over for tynn frukt, og avslutter søtt og påtrengende.

Åpenbart søt, som appelsinte med et par skjeer hvitt sukker.

Nesen av røyk og søt kremet mais trekker deg ikke akkurat inn. Deretter kommer en vegetabilsk vin som hovedsakelig smaker av grønne bønner og ristet eik, noe som er langt fra det vi forventer av denn…

Dufter av hvit pepper og oljeaktig—som rapsolje. Smakene er honning og dieselolje, men den er ikke søt, bare fyldig og kraftig. Avslutter med noe alkoholvarme og pepperaktig krydder.

Surprisingly unripe for an Amador County Zinfandel. Smells like dried twigs, turns obscure and heavy in the mouth, with sweet cherry pie and prune flavors, framed in hard, green tannins.

Simple and sugary sweet with pineapple and mango fruit.

Herbal, spicy and rubbery smelling, with mulchy berry aromas. Feels soft, creamy and confected, with more milk chocolate and vanilla flavor than legitimate fruit. Sweet and soft on the finish.

Made with undisclosed grape varieties, this rustic, softly sweet wine has apricot, honey and herb flavors.

Tastes unnatural and manipulated, with sugary sweet orange and apricot jam fruit flavors, highlighted by uncomfortably sour acidity.

A simple Merlot, sugary sweet and jammy in cherries, with harsh tannins and a bizarre slice of acidity.

This Zin is too sweet and simple. Tastes like raspberry tea with a couple spoons of white sugar.

Tastes like orange juice with an extra hit of white sugar, sprinkled with cinnamon, vanilla and an oaky sweetness.

So sweet. With sugary tangerine and pineapple flavors and plenty of caramel, it quickly palls.

Mazzocco's style has settled into high alcohol, in this case 15.8%, sweet, jammy pie-filling fruit flavors, and soft tannins. If this is the kind of Zin you enjoy, it's for you.

You'll find some mint and vegetal aromas and flavors side-by-side with intense, sugary sweet blackberry jam ones in this Zin. It's unbalanced to that degree.

Too hot and sweet, this Zin weighs in at 16.2% of alcohol. It has blackberry and cocoa flavors spiced with chile peppers.

Tastes sweet and hot, like an inexpensive Port, with sugary cherry-berry jam flavors. The official alcohol is 16%.

This Barbera is soft, sweet and simple. It shows the rich tannins of the variety, but isn't ageworthy. Tastes like melted blackberry jam mixed with anise, black pepper and smoke.

Simple and sweet, with candied, jammy flavors of cherries, blackberries and licorice. Drink now.

This soft, simple Chardonnay is sweet in caramel, buttered popcorn and lemon-pineapple juice flavors. It quickly turns cloying after a sip.

Heavy, dull and sweet, this Chardonnay has one-dimensional apricot, orange and oaky flavors.

Watery and sweet, like fruit juice, with orange, pineapple and buttered toast flavors.
