Vinanmeldelser

Denne blandingen av Chardonnay (som modnes noe på barrique) og Insolia gir dype og sofistikerte noter av eksotisk frukt, krittaktig mineral og ristede hasselnøtter. Denne interessante kombinasjonen f…

Full i kroppen og rikt teksturert, denne leverer mer enn forventet til sin foreslåtte utsalgspris. Grillede plommer, bakekrydder og mokkasmaker gir mye interesse, med en kremet og smidig avslutning.…

Denne vinen kommer fra en lovende vinmark. Meget typiske aromaer av svart kirsebær, urter og sedertre gir rom for myke fruktaromaer og lett kornete tanniner. Den syrlige friskheten holder interessen…

Veldig moden og fruktig, med bølge på bølge av ananas, appelsin, mango, fersken, grønt eple og vanilje. Smaker honningaktig og moden i fruktig essens, men i bunn og grunn er dette en tørr vin. Stråle…

Stram samtidig fruktig, dette kommer til å bli en attraktiv vin fra Gadras-familien, som har eid eiendommen siden tidlig på 1800-tallet. Med lag av sitrussyre og rikere pære og epler, er den full av…

Ripasso Campo San Vito er en fyldig, intens vin som tilbyr en interessant kombinasjon av søt krydder, nellik, bjørnebær, sjokolade og tørket frukt. Den glatte, fløyelsmyke teksturen er perfekt til gr…

Vinmarken ligger i Santa Maria Valley, og vinen viser områdets friske syrlighet, i tillegg til lang modningstid med smaker av appelsin, Meyer sitron og gylden mango. Det er en rik og interessant vin…

Interessant med hint av melon, steinfrukt og sprø syre, denne lyse, friske hvitvinen opprettholder et nivå av spenning og kremethet. Den balanserer de to personlighetene mot hverandre med stor dyktig…

This blend of Syrah and Grenache provides a well-made, largely neutral canvas to wash down a wide range of foods. Hints of tangerine and peach add nuance and interest to the wet stone elements that d…

Tempranillo and Cabernet Franc aren't often thrown together, but here the marriage works. The nose offers herbal, leafy aromas from the CF, while berry fruit and oak carry the rest of the show. The p…

Here's an intriguing wine with many interesting contrasts: It offers mineral dryness on the nose and sweet fruit in the mouth; and a lean tonic feel against opulent texture. This organic sparkler has…

This is one of Lynmar's most expensive Chardonnays, of their six 2011s. It's also one of the most forward and oakiest. Your first impression is of sweet buttered toast, sprinkled with brown sugar and…

Here's an interesting red that's like a ripe, velvety-textured Merlot. Concentrated fruit aromas of fleshy black plum and cherry are accented by notes of fresh savory herbs. The mouth is full and str…

Smoothness and subtlety come with a texture just rich enough to be interesting, without damping down the acidity that makes this light-bodied wine refreshing. It offers flavors of crisp green apple a…

A little foxy at first, with lively, forward aromas of herbs, bramble, wild berry and black cherry. Doesn't take long in the glass to show its qualities, which include structure and plenty of fruit,…

Interesting that they call it Shiraz instead of Syrah. Either way, it's a very dry, tannic and fairly complex wine, rich in blackberry, currant, tobacco and pepper flavors. Drink this robust, astring…

This very fairly priced Merlot from the Cosumnes River sub-section of Lodi has a juicy berry roundness that makes it inviting to drink, and softly textured all around. On the long finish is a remarka…

Produced in Israel from an ancient native grape that grows in Palestine, this wine offers a lean lemon aroma with a faint whiff of petrol. Citrus and light floral flavors are dominated by lime-sorbet…

What a nice Riesling, and look at that price. It's crisp and rich, with an oily texture and interesting flavors of citrus, honeysuckle and that complex organic taste known as diesel or lighter fluid.…

There's a little oak on this wine, just enough to give it a soft, smoky edge. Otherwise, the star is the Albariño grape, tart with acidity and juicy with citrus, green apple, peach and white-flower f…

Fiano is an Italian variety, rarely grown in California. In this case it has produced an interesting wine. It feels midway in weight between Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay. Unoaked with a medium-bodied…

Hints of earthy spice and bark add interest to the somewhat muted blackberry and black plum aromas. The wine opens up more on the palate, revealing a lush and creamy texture, with dense blackberry fl…

TA firm minerality, like the tang of cold steel, derives from Spring Mountain's soil. That metallic note adds an interesting dimension to the wine's fruitier flavors of apricots, mangoes and peaches.…

This Cab has the fruity concentration of its famous mountain origin, and is explosive in blackberries, blueberries and currants, along with plenty of caramelized oak. It's also quite tannic, which gi…
