This vintage of Bocca di Lupo shows balance and sophistication both in terms of its aromatic intensity and overall delivery of fresh fruit and spice. Flavors of dark plum, blackberry, black espresso…

What sets this wine apart are the cooling aromas of chopped mint and white licorice. It delivers tangy layers of black olive, resin, tar, tobacco leaf and sweet cinnamon stick.

Nothing is out of place in this wine: It's intense, but it's not too strong, and the bouquet shows a balance of sweet fruit and savory spice aromas.

Bellavista's Gran Cuvée Brut offers a pretty floral fragrance of acacia, orange blossom and beeswax. The creamy palate delivers intense honey flavors, along with citrus and toasted almond nuances. It…

Rich and robust with smooth tannins, this Lake County Cabernet tastes deliciously austere, with leather, cedar and earth layered over crisp mountain berry fruit. More like the Xurus 2007 than the 200…

Starts off with a minerally, slightly fumé-style note, then adds herbal and leafy notes and white grapefruit flavors. From New Zealand's first carbon-neutral winery, this medium-bodied Sauvignon Blan…

With no oak influence, this Sauvignon Blanc was cool-fermented, preserving fresh fruit, and it did not undergo malolactic fermentation, so that the acidity is brisk. It was aged on the lees. That is…

Very dry and tannic, a style of Cabernet that relies more on structure than flash. Despite fairly high alcohol, it keeps a tight rein on the blackberries and cedar, locking the flavors in astringency…

A little too soft for ageability, but a very delicious wine. Not quite in the league of the wonderful 2007, but offers rich, ripe flavors of blackberries, cherries, cola and cedar, with all kinds of…

Smoke, flint, mature stone fruit, dried sage and honey aromas come together in the glass. The delineated palate shows nice depth, offering yellow apple, candied citrus zest, apricot and mineral balan…

Belnero is a Sangiovese-based wine (with a tiny percentage of outside grapes) that shows loads of Montalcino typicity and elegance. If the rules governing Rosso di Montalcino are changed, those new w…

Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, with some Cabernet Franc and Merlot, this wine is exuberantly rich and sweet in ripe blackberry, black cherry and chocolate fruit. Smoky oak plays a crucial role, in both f…

A good, dry, fleshy wine. Not showing well now in its youth, because it's tannic and unintegrated, with flavors flying all over the place. But there's a solid core of blackberry and black cherry sour…

Dry, dustily tannic and somewhat closed down, this Cabernet clearly wants some time in the cellar. It has rich, juicy blackberry and cherry flavors, but the tannins and acidity close in fast, locking…

An interesting blend of 37% Carignan, 26% Shiraz, 20% Petit Verdot, 15% Petite Sirah and 2% Viognier, this is a delightful red that offers tons of complexity and character. Black plum, cherry and cur…

A full-bodied, flamboyant version of this benchmark bottling, the 2007 verges on too much, with lush tropical fruit framed by smoky notes and finishing spicy and slightly warm. Unlikely to have the l…

Smoky spice and dried herbs on the nose are followed by flavors of rustic spice and red fruit on the palate. Vibrant fruit and muscular tannins are integrated by a clean minerality. The wine has nati…

This delicious rosé is a combination of sweet strawberry and a touch of lemon crispness on the nose and the palate. Its light, elegant character is supported by a dancing acidity and a balance of rip…

The richness of the aroma belies the elegance of this outstanding Pinot Noir. Tightly woven scents of sweet herb, tobacco, clove, forest floor fungus and spicy red fruits provide an introduction to a…

Myk og forførende, med lukt av sandeltre, smak av smørfett, toast og sjokolade, lagdelt rundt sjenerøs frukt. Kirsebær, solbær og plomme leder til polerte tanniner og mye sjokoladeaktig eik.

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…

Her er en vin som fyller munnen med gode ting. Denne vinen nyter sin rikhet, som balanseres av frisk syre, noe som gjør vinen frisk.

Aromaer av bivoks og sitronolje, smaksnoter av klementin, appelsin og fersken. Veldig tørr, med eksepsjonell fruktkonsentrasjon og godt integrerte smaker av kjeks og korn. Denne ble fatgjæret, og gir…

Her er et godt kjøp i en stor, rik, overdådig deilig Syrah. Myk og tørr, med raffinerte tanniner, tilbyr den smaker av solbær, bjørnebær, kirsebær, sjokolade, lakris, Dr. Pepper cola, svart pepper og…
