Vinanmeldelser

Denne friske og forfriskende vinen har aldri vært i kontakt med eik, så det som skinner gjennom er de rene, modne smakene av tropiske og sitrusfrukter, sitrongress, honning og et hint av hvit pepper.…

Dette får virkelig smaksløkene til å synge, med frisk syrlighet som løfter sitron-, lime- og appelsinsmakene. Selv om den er rik på honningsmak, avsluttes den tørt.

Denne vinen blander 53 % frukt fra Monterey County og 47 % fra San Luis Obispo County for å levere en velpriset vinner. Nesen viser lime, sitronskall, hvite blomster og mandelsmør, mens ganen gir beh…

Denne seige, fyldige og mørke Syrah-en pirrer forsiktig med svarte fruktnoter og viltsmak. Den har fått 20 måneder på nye og brukte franske eikefat, er strukturert og kan lagres til 2020, en betydeli…

Med Anselmo Mendes, Vinho Verde-mesteren, som konsulent, er dette en kystnær Lisboa-vin som har mye av den sprø teksturen som kommer fra Alvarinho i blandingen. Det er en duftende tone fra Viognier,…

Tøff og robust med syre og tanniner, men elegant strømlinjeformet. Viser skarpe smaker av sur rød kirsebærgodteri, vanilje og søt sandeltre. Nå–2014.

Litt lett i kroppen, men rik på bringebær, kirsebær, granatepler, cola og krydret vanilje, med et røykaktig lag av eik. Utmerket syre fra Central Coast frisker opp. Drikk nå til en fin biff.

The Central Coast's pioneering sparkling house offers a quite-pink bubbly with aromas of lemonade, yeast, white rocks and ruby-red grapefruit flesh. The palate shows sour strawberry and lime zest.

Raised in stainless steel, without oak infuence, this wine is rich, savory and dry. A small percentage of Pinot Grigio brings a note of green apple to the flavors of citrus, white flower and honey.

Half of this wine was barrel fermented in mostly new French oak; the other half done in stainless. Peaches and butter are the main flavors, with a soft, pretty finish that brings a streak of caramel.

Light, bright and floral, with bursts of tropical guava and papaya, this is a refreshing quaff and food-friendly wine that'll please a range of palates and budgets, the acidity focused and buoyant.

A good example of how well the Central Coast can make Chardonnays that satisfy even without oak barrel aging. The wine is clean and brisk in acidity, with ripe flavors of limes, kiwis and green melon…

Tribolo is a Sangiovese-based wine from coastal Tuscany that opens with smooth richness and bright tones of wild blueberry and cherry. There's a milky, mocha element as well that adds to its overall…

Here's an impressive newcomer to the Montecucco (coastal Tuscany) wine scene. Thanks to abundant sunshine and fertile soils, this Sangiovese is thickly structured and enhanced by mature berry aromas…

Copper-orange-pink in color, this wonderfully summery wine offers tart citrus and gravelly minerality, a taste of wet stone coated in just the right amount of sweetness.

Aromas of toffee-covered caramel apple, crème brûlée and a touch of petrol combine forcefully to invite one into this otherwise light-bodied, expressive wine, the texture salty and sublime.

Boysenberry, cracked peppercorn and caramel frame the nose of this rich red. Although not particularly complex, lush flavors of berry juice and espresso on the palate prove rather tasty and enjoyable.

Briny, vegetal aromas of asparagus and jalapeño lead to a viscous palate with blazing coastal acidity. Flavors of lime and tangerine are offset by vegetal bell pepper and asparagus notes, while this…

Tastes like a white Rhône blend, with tangerine, white peach, nectarine and mineral flavors, but surprise, it's Chardonnay. Crisp acidity provides balance, and the finish is clean and elegant. Great…

A bistro style wine to drink with grilled meats and game birds. It's juicy and crisp, with flavors of cherries, licorice and spices, wrapped into a creamy texture. Really rocks.

Very ripe and deliciously forward in cherries, cola, bacon, anise and sweet smoky sandalwood, with silky tannins. The acidity is a bit low, giving the wine a softness that limits ageability. Now–2011.

Great price for a Chardonnay of this quality. The grapes come from cool coastal areas, and the wine brims with crisp, long hangtime ripeness, accented with toasty oak. Feels rich and creamy, with pin…

Bone dry, with brisk tannins, this is a Merlot to drink with good food and not worry about the wine overshadowing it. It's really drinkable, with a soft, lush mouthfeel and flavors of cherries, curra…

Ripe pear fruit introduces a full-bodied Pinot Gris, and carries it through a satisfying finish. It's fruit all the way, dusted with a little taste of cinnamon spice.
