Rich, thick and swimming in youthful tannin, this is a powerful statement from the producer's estate, a broad-shouldered explosion of fruity and savory flavors. Spicy tea, pomegranate and black cherr…

A heavy, powerful wine, with very concentrated tannins. Flavors of licorice, bitter chocolate and black plums give a sense of richness and opulence. Still young, the aromas are yeasty, but these shou…

Rich blackberry and black-currant flavors give this wine its ripe character. They are already well balanced by the spicy tannins and dry core. The wine will develop well and should be ready from 2019…

Earns extra credit for the sheer audacity of ripe cherry, raspberry and vanilla cream flavors. Almost as sweet as a candy bar, but actually dry, and balanced with acidity and minerals. A fine Pinot N…

The inaugural offering of this block-designate is dark and brooding, with tightly constructed, sizable tannins and oak still pronounced on the palate. Time should develop its floral notes of rose and…

Fresh apple blossom and pear aromas are pristine on the nose of this delicate Pinot Blanc. The palate is lemony and crisp but softened by hints of honey and a mouthwatering silkiness. Ready to consum…

Forward but fresh, this elegant Pinot Blanc juxtaposes rich peach and mango flavors with a zesty acidic spine. The finish is sleek and a bit steely. Ready now but should drink well through 2020.

Petite Verdot is a hard variety to succeed on its own, but Calcareous has produced a fine, dry wine made from that Bordeaux variety. It's full-bodied and complex, with flavors of currants, mushu plum…

Dette er en stram ung Pinot Noir. Når du tar den første slurken, merker du først syren, deretter tanninene, og til slutt frukten, som er moden og rik på bringebær og jordbær. Eik tilfører røykaktig k…

Treaktige, intense aromaer av svart frukt som er forkullet og mintaktig. Smaken er tett og tanninrik, mens forkullede, jordaktige svarte fruktaromaer viser urteaktige undertoner før en tørr og treakt…

Omtrent halvparten Marsanne og Roussanne, denne tørre hvitvinen bærer en distinkt lukt og smak av honning. Den er rund og moden, med sitrusfrukt. Fyllig og deilig, bør nytes nå og frem til 2018.

Drew pleide å slippe denne flasken omtrent 16 eller 17 måneder etter årgangen. Denne vinen har blitt hastet ut på markedet med litt over ett års alder. Som et resultat viser denne unge vinen de modne…

Dette er helt Pommard-klonen, med en frisk og syrlig blanding av tranebær- og bringebærfrukt. Den er saftig og ung, med skarpe, presise kanter. Tanninene forblir litt bitre, men et par år til på flas…

Plomme og bjørnebær roper fra glasset, omsluttende en eiket, læraktig tekstur med innslag av røykfylt kull og vanilje. Denne fyldige vinen finner en balanse underveis, med en langstrakt stripe av pep…
