From a two-acre site at 1,110-feet elevation only five miles from the Pacific Ocean, this wine opens as if it were a lovely, expansive rose garden, so fragrant and intensely earthy. Built with sizabl…

A compelling wine. Made from this Bordeaux blending variety seldom seen bottled on its own, the grapes were grown in the Stagecoach Vineyard, high up on Atlas Peak, increasingly a source of some of N…

Stefano Accordini's vineyard-designate Amarone opens with big oak and Spanish cedar tones that will undoubtedly come into focus with more aging time in the cellar. The wine shows excellent concentrat…

Refreshingly dry Champagne. With its tight strawberry flavors, it is forward and fruity. It has a fine burst of lime acidity to complement the red fruits. Not for aging, delicious now.

Very delicious and luscious, but no mere fruit bomb. It has the tannic-acidic structure and dryness to make it refined, but explodes on the palate with blackberry, chocolate, cassis, anise and sweet,…

Richness, concentration, great weight and balance. Despite the ripeness, the crispness of the house style dominates. The apple flavors and the minerality need several years to really mature. From mai…

Vine Cliff consistently produces one of the best Chardonnays in Napa Valley, and here's another one. The cool vintage gives it refreshing acidity, while the flavors are ripe and frankly delicious, su…

A dark and powerfully rich wine from one of the top quintas in the Douro. It shows great concentration from the old vines. With its weight, dark fruits and dense tannins, it needs to age in order to…

An astonishing Pinot Gris, certainly among the best ever made in Oregon, this rich, luscious, mouthcoating wine is totally irresistible. Chardonnay-like unctuousness, ripe pear and apple fruit, plus…

This is Ferreira's top vineyard that also produces the legendary Barca Velha in the best years. This rich, spicy, solid wine has excellent structure, ripe tannins and juicy black fruits. Even more, i…

The Château-Chalon appellation can only make vin jaune and this exceptional example shows why this type of wine is unique. Balanced acids and fragrant fruitiness underpin the yeast, almond flavors an…

Smith-Madrone tends to fly under the radar for Napa Valley Cabernet, but discerning palates understand its place in the pantheon. Vintages aren't always kind to this mountain fruit, but in 2009, the…

Søte eiketoner av kanel, modne kirsebær og bringebær formidles gjennom en vakkert intens duft. Dette er en Brunello med faste tanniner, frisk syre og solid struktur.

Denne Brunello åpner med en intens, mørk granatrød farge og viser frodig mykhet og moden bjørnebærfrukt med duftende noter av blå blomst, plommekake og søt krydder. Munnfølelsen kjennetegnes av fast…

Vinmaker Elisabetta Geppettis Saffredi er delvis en kultvin og delvis en mainstream blockbuster, ettersom vinen nyter verdensomspennende berømmelse, men få kjenner den godt. Denne årgangen er myk og…
