Vinanmeldelser

De gamle vinrankene gir ekstra dybde og rikhet til denne modne, kremete vinen. Den har fortsatt den rette sprø, stramme teksturen som gir disse kjølige fjellvinene deres karakter. Melon, sprø pære og…

Ikke mye av denne druesorten kommer fra denne fjellrike appellasjonen, men denne flasken antyder at den kan fungere godt. Kraftige aromaer av bjørnebær balanseres av anis, salvie, svarte steiner og e…

Nå hentet fra eiendomsvinen på Red Mountain, inkluderer denne eksepsjonelle roséen deler av Counoise, Cinsault og Grenache. Selv om den bleke, kobberrosa tonen antyder en lett vin, er denne duftende…

Denne enormt rike Chardonnayen ble dyrket i vingårdens dramatiske fjellvinmark. Den er kraftfull med konsentrert ananas-syltetøy og sitronfrukt, mens vinmakerens inngrep tilfører kremete noter av van…

Frisk, krydret og med både blomster- og søte sitruselementer, denne halv-tørre Gewurztraminer fyller munnen med kandisert sitron, søt papaya og en liten skvis fersk lime. Veldig velsmakende, med en v…

Ung, skarp og krydret, med underliggende lag av fersken, aprikos, Meyer sitron, smør og karamell. Denne trenger tydeligvis mye mer lagringstid i kjelleren for å nå sitt fulle potensial, men den er al…

Blandet med 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, tilbyr denne fjelldyrkede vinen kraftig svart plomme og bær rundt en tett, ekstraktert fylde av tannin og fransk eik. Tørket urt, nellik og vanilje fremhever frukte…

Here is the most engaging offering of the winery's 2013 single vineyard Pinots. It's bright with red-berry fruit and tropical-candy highlights. Meyer lemon peeks in, and the tangy fruit flavors conti…

There is tons of lively action packed into the nose of this wine, from rosebuds and zesty cherry cola to cinnamon spice and rainbow peppercorns. The texture is relatively light on the sip, and yet gr…

What jumps out immediately is a bright spicy scent. The forward fruit is a zesty mix of cranberry, guava and citrus, and the flavors just punch up the palate in a most delicious way. Drink this over…

The tannins stand front and center in this mountain wine, but they're so finely textured, you hardly notice them. They glide over the palate, carrying along ultraripe blackberry flavors. A firm groun…

Given more than two years in all-French oak, this 100% Cabernet impresses in balancing juicy red currant and cherry fruit against more savory tannin and herb. Structured, it should gain traction and…

Equal parts Heart of the Hill and Red Heaven fruit, this wine opens with barrel aromas of vanilla and shaved coconut in front of dark fruit. The flavors are full in feel but retain a sense of eleganc…

Coming from a vineyard that sits 500 feet above Monterey Bay, this shows crisp green apple and grapefruit rinds on the nose, as well as a sharp, intriguing herbal tinge. It's extremely tight and high…

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…

Made from equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this wine is flamboyantly rich and opulent in fruit. The cherry pie and blackberry tart flavors finish sweet, with a bracing scour of tannins and…

Grüner Veltliner is an extreme rarity in the state. Sparkling offerings? Unheard of. This one brings appealing aromas of lime pith, white pepper, autolytic notes and citrus. The palate brings a big b…

Topped with 18% Malbec, aromas of wood spice, vanilla, pencil lead and dark cherry lead to juicy full-bodied dark-fruit flavors that show a lovely sense of balance, despite the wood being forward. It…

Spiced cranberry fruit highlights this tightly-wound young Pinot Noir. Some hard raspberry candy flavors continue through the mid-palate, with chewy acidity leading into a tight, tangy finish.

Rich and robust with smooth tannins, this Lake County Cabernet tastes deliciously austere, with leather, cedar and earth layered over crisp mountain berry fruit. More like the Xurus 2007 than the 200…

This excellent wine has good concentration and pretty, fruit-sweet flavors of berry, cherry, and a splash of Dr. Pepper. It brings in elegant details of truffle and more of that pleasant cola charact…

This is a concentrated, dark and brooding wine from the producer's well-known property, sparkling in acidity despite its intensity of weight and length. Blackberry and nutmeg sit atop a soft integrat…

A showy but crisp and fresh style of Chard, this offers honey butter, ripe apple flesh, yellow roses, lemongrass and the slightest show of guava tropicality on the nose. The sip begins with that trop…

Floral and fragrant, this lovely lighthearted sparkling wine is sublime and lemony in texture, with a bushy frothy mousse. Green apple shines brightest, with additional accents of strawberry and peac…
