L'Attitude needs a warm vintage to succeed, and it got one in '04. The wine, a blend of Carignane, Syrah and other Rhône reds, is dry and complicated, offering rich, earthy, Provençal herb flavors wi…
The vineyard is source of high-quality fruit, but also intense mountain tannins that require time to melt. Under those tannins is dramatically rich black currant and carob fruit flavor, easily big en…
Sweet and bracingly tart at the same time, with racy acidity framing sweet orange and lime flavors. Flourishes of bergamot and cinnamon add complexity on the nose and reprise on the long finish.
This is the best Potelle Syrah I've ever had, but be forewarned: It's an extraordinarily tannic wine that shows its 1,800-foot mountain origins. It clocks in at 13.9% alcohol, yet it's bone dry. The…
Ultra concentrated and sticky, with unctuous but wholesome raisin aromas taken to a level that's almost heavenly. In the mouth, the maple, cinnamon and brown sugar flavors are lusty and satisfying, a…
Richly textured wine, full of ripe and spicy fruit, the acidity just a hint behind the dried honey and watermelon flavors. It is full-bodied, ripe, packed with intense fruit flavors. A wine for aging…
This 100% Cabernet spent nearly two years in 100% new French oak. As a result, it's enormously oaky in youth. You can barely smell or taste anything beyond toothpicks. But the wine is still young and…
Among an excellent trio of Chardonnays from Roco, this is the spicy one, with soft and supple tree fruits, a touch of citrus and more. The complexities pile on, suggestions of melon and cotton candy,…
Light in color but bursting with aromas of candied cherry, pencil lead, sauteed porcini mushrooms and rain-soaked gravel, this is a fabulous wine from an oceanview vineyard above Corralitos. Italian…
A lovely bouquet of dusty rose petals marks the entry of this delightful wine. Softly textured, it's subtle in tannin and oak, with interweaving swathes of black tea and grenadine-intense cherry. Med…
Its lavish peach, citrus and blossom perfume makes the Westhofen Brunnenhäuschen stand out boldly in a lineup of Wittmann's excellent 2014 GG Rieslings. Its aromatic intensity extends into the palate…
This is a gentle giant of a wine, subtle and sublime in earthy rose petals, allspice and black tea that maintain a spiky, lively acidity throughout. Blueberry and black cherry compete for attention,…
Prune, ripe berries, freshly ground black pepper and clove aromas lead the nose on this ripe, muscular wine. The palate delivers black cherry marinated in spirits and juicy plum while accents of nutm…
This wine is earthy, heavyset and reflective of a hot vintage. On the palate, this is ripe and chewy, with almost syrupy weight. Showing notes of robust dark chocolate, with a mix of oak, fruit and t…
Coming from Monterey and Santa Cruz vineyards, this blend of 34% Grenache, 23% Syrah, 18% Mourvèdre, 21% Carignane and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon features notes of plum jam, sagebrush and root beer. It ju…
Campo dei Gigli is a blockbuster wine with dark concentration, enormous richness and intense aromas of blackberry, BBQ sauce, sweet cherry and mesquite smoke. The wine tastes round and supple and off…
This brilliant Pinot Noir exhibits the finest qualities of the great 2007 vintage. It's a big wine, filled with fruity flavor and sizable tannins, but so fresh and silky, it's drinkable now, with dec…
Dramatically rich and structured, this mountain blend of Bordeaux varieties needs time in the cellar. Right now, it's tannic and astringent, with youthful flavors of blackberries, minerals and smoky…
Named for a favored surf spot in Mexico, Sayulita is a new project from Balboa. This first release, from the Lefore vineyard, is 58% Cabernet Sauvignon and 42% Syrah, a perfect mix and showcase for t…
Acidity and minerality mark this vibrant, complex young Chardonnay. It has a tart, sour pineapple candy flavor, softened and enriched with sweet smoky oak and butterscotch, and undergirded with a cha…
This noted Napa producer has excelled at Petite Sirah for a long time, and with the impressive 2010, they've out-done themselves. The wine comes from a vineyard block, said to be more than 70 years o…
Det er lette og luftige elementer av nektarinfrukt og sitronblomster i nesen på denne første Chardonnay noensinne laget av veteranen Doug Margerum, som også tilfører varmere dufter av ristet brød og…
Dempet, modnere frukt har ennå ikke kommet til overflaten. Assosiasjoner til Bramley-eple vekkes i duften; på ganen viser de seg som den rundere smaken av bakt Bramley. Over alt svever revet sitronsk…
Frisk bringebær- og Bing-kirsebærjuice møter våt svart skifer, regn på sement og duft av ristet salvie på nesen til denne blokk-utvalgsutgaven. Ganen åpner med moden rød bær, før den strammes opp med…
