Very elegant, very classy, this wine shows, discreetly, its sweet juicy fruit, great ripe black currant flavor and fine tannins. Nothing is overstated; this is for lovers of stylish wines.

On the sweet side, this is a rich, almost honeyed wine. It has deliciously ripe fruit, lychees and fragrant lemon. Full and generous, the wine still manages to keep some good freshness. It is young,…

Enormously rich, showing cola, black cherry pie filling and even some dark chocolate notes. There's a soft sweetness of fruit and oak that suggests drinking this lovely wine now. You can't go wrong w…

This 100% Cab wants some time in the cellar. Right now, it's fresh and powerful in black cherries, currants, licorice, mocha and sweet toasty oak, with firm tannins and a streak of citrusy acidity. A…

There's a severity of acids and tannins that limits this Pinot's immediate enjoyment. It feels tight and hard, despite a core of black and red cherries and the sweetness of toasty oak. All indication…

Grippy in sizably powerful mountain tannins, this wine is at first difficult to penetrate and will benefit from further cellaring, through 2022. In the shadows lurk full-bodied hits of floral violet…

An ample dusting of saffron and spice lends umami and depth to this light-footed spätlese. Honeyed peach and apricot flavors are concentrated and sweet, yet so impacted by acidity, the finish feels l…

Elaborate and detailed, this blend offers waves of ripe, creamy tangerines, dates, mangoes and spices, leading to a long, exotic finish. It accomplishes the magic of tasting sweet in the middle and d…

Impressive dusty tannins offer a structured counterpoint to the deliciously ripe fruits and sweet berry flavors that stand out in this wine. It has great concentration as well, a powerhouse of firm s…

Blended from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel and Syrah, this is a complex wine. Very dry and marked by young, aggressive tannins, it strikes you as dramatic, offering waves of fruit, mineral, s…

With small amounts of Carignane and Petite Sirah, this hails from the winery's estate vineyard in Dry Creek Valley, one of the great sources of Zinfandel in California. It is a very fine Zin, showing…

Like almost all of Reverie's Cabernets on release, this one needs time in the cellar. Tasted in fall 2011, it's tight and grapey, with blackberry jam flavors girded by a firm, stony minerality and sw…

One of the best Syrahs at this price point in California. It's lush in blackberries, blueberries, chocolate and sweet oak, with a creamy mouthfeel. Drink now for freshness.

Tamarack blends grapes from an astonishing number of sites scattered across the length and breadth of the Columbia Valley, and yet makes wines that are distinctive, polished, generous, and focused. T…

This is the darkest, biggest, richest of Raymond's 2007 Cabernets. It's ripe and full in blackberries and currants, with a thick coating of sweet, toasty oak, but it's not really drinkable now becaus…

This is an amazingly rich Cabernet, packed with classic Napa blackberry, blueberry and dark chocolate flavors. It's opulent even by California standards, and is a little sweet. With firm, pronounced…

Eroica has a proven ability to age; in fact it needs at least a half decade in the cellar to show its real strengths. Tight and packed with primary fruit flavors of lime and peach, this beautifully p…

There's an element of candied fruit and butterscotch that defines this luscious Picolit dessert wine. It opens with a deep amber color, syrupy sweetness and a very long finish accented by pine resin…

Few wines of this quality come from Zamora, and if you like top-flight Ribera del Duero or Toro reds then give this heavyweight a try. It's packed with earthy blackberry and licorice aromas that fall…

With its balance of sweetness and acidity, this is a delicious wine that hints at honey as well as pear and ripe melon. There is a touch of wood in the background to give the wine further complexity.

This five-grape blend is harmonious, with aromas of sweet spice, ripe berry, cherry, licorice and mineral. It's racy, deep and powerful, with dark berry, black plum and oaky, spicy flavors. It's long…

Selv om vinen teknisk sett er tørr, gir dens fylde en søtere opplevelse. Den modne aprikos- og ananasfrukten balanseres av en knivskarp syrlighet, noe som lar denne konsentrerte vinen forbli balanser…

Denne vinen er nydelig, med smaker av hasselnøtt, pære og moden grønt eple. Den er frisk, balansert og perfekt søtet. Blandes med vodka og ferske fruktjuicer, lager den også en utmerket cocktail.

Dette er full av botrytis-påvirkning, men det er likevel lettere og friskere enn noen andre søte viner fra Burgenland. Den etterlater en følelse av sitronsyre som følger med den honning- og blomsterd…
