A big, rich chocolaty wine with delicious spice and ripe tannins. The fruit is sumptuously rich, blackberry juice flavors balancing the power and concentration of the texture. In all this richness, t…

At this early stage in its development, this wine shows more structure than richness. The tannins are fully developed, dark and dense. The complexity is there, but the fruit and the elegance are stil…

Smells like honey drizzled over stones with a hint of peach for good measure, then delivers lush, richly fruity flavors of dried apricots allied to crisp, citrusy acids. Nicely balanced, with a long,…

Fairly tannic and very dry, with ripe, jammy flavors of cherries and raspberries that taste like they were baked into a pie sprinkled with cocoa and cinnamon, and then drizzled with anisette liqueur.…

This vineyard-designate wine shows dark and austere aromas of cassis, dried berry, leather, pipe tobacco, licorice, dried ginger and prune. From the elegant 2006 vintage, the wine shows nuanced elega…

Rich, ripe and dramatically layered with black currant, licorice and oak flavors that turn a little raisiny on the finish. Although it's very dry, there's ripeness in the fruit. Flashy enough to drin…

This is a beautiful Cabernet that's soft, subtle and delicious. It has balanced blackberry, plum and licorice flavors, touched with oak, and finishes with low-alcohol elegance.

This is 95% Syrah, co-fermented with Viognier in the Northern Rhône style. The result is a very fine wine that is currently drinking quite young and tight. It's shut down in hard tannins and an immat…

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…

A well-balanced wine, showing good acidity and honeyed ripeness in equal measure. With its pure line of bright acidity and dried apricot flavors, it's a wine that has a promising future. Drink from 2…

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…

A blend of 80% Sangiovese, 12% Cabernet Franc and 8% Syrah, this concentrated wine opens with aromas of ripe black-skinned berry, exotic spice, vanilla and French oak. The rich palate offers mature b…

Beautifully intense and elegant, this opens with fine aromas of spice, dried fruit, cola, tar and ground licorice. It delivers a long, silky sensation in the mouth.

Bright, generous and intense, this offers shadings of spice and leather around dried berry and cola aromas. The overall effect is that of power, complexity and balance.

This is 96% Merlot, with just a splash of Cabernet Sauvignon. Firm and focused, it sports a toasty nose, with rich blackberry and cherry fruit. The oak treatment brings in generous flavors of coffee…

This opens with savory aromas of cured meat and leather with background tones of ripe fruit and black cherry. It is smooth and sophisticated on the palate with a fine texture and a fruit-forward fini…

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…

A first for Animale, and a terrific success, despite the almost 16% alcohol. Bursting with ripe berry flavors, this complex and flat-out delicious wine goes well beyond its highly-extracted black fru…

A big, modern-style contender with burly berry, lemon, coconut, dill and blackberry on the bouquet. Lush and cushioned in the mouth, with meaty, dark flavors of roasted blackberry, espresso and fudge…

Mainly Grenache (80%, the balance is Syrah) aged entirely in tank, this wine features loads of superripe dark cherries and plums, yet with a savory, olive-and meat-tinged aspect as well. Full-bodied,…

This shows a darker shade than most young whites, almost a burnished gold. Soft and complex, with ripe, slightly confected fruit flavors, it's super smooth, with honeysuckle highlights around waxy st…

Donum er på toppen av sitt Pinot Noir-spill. Dette er rett og slett vidunderlig, og tilbyr en rikdom av røde frukter, cola, krydder, mineraler og jordsmaker. Tanninene er behagelige, syren frisk og r…

Fra gamle vinstokker som dateres tilbake til 1865, er dette en svært aromatisk fjell-Zinfandel med en overflod av bringebær- og bjørnebærsmaker. En vin med stor tilstedeværelse og myke, runde tannine…

Denne har en ugjennomsiktig lilla farge, med en ytterst konsentrert og potent mørkfruktig duft. Føles sterk, varm og eksotisk, med svarte fruktaromaer sammen med toner av pepperaktig krydder og bitte…
