Vinanmeldelser

En veldig fin tolkning av Dry Creek Zin, denne er fyldig, rik på alkohol og med bæraktig preg. Den viser modne smaker av bær, rips, anis og krydder, pakket inn i faste tanniner, og avslutter med hint…

Søtt fruktig og frisk i syrlighet, denne Chardonnay viser smak av saftig ananas, appelsin og mango som smaker som en eksklusiv fruktjuice. Eik gir den en ristet, smøraktig note, mens alkoholen bringe…

Hvis noen kan få folk til å like Lemberger, Washingtons tidligere svar på Zinfandel, så er det den talentfulle vinmakeren Don Townshend. Denne lyse, syrlige vinen med bringebærsmak fremstår som en pi…

Denne seige vinen har duft av vanilje, modne bær med svart skall og nellik. Smaken byr på svart kirsebærsyltetøy, marinert sviske og lakris, med en varm avslutning som antyder forhøyet alkoholinnhold…

Denne vinens subtile aromaer av svartskinnet bær, presset fiol og krydder til mat dukker opp i glasset. Den tette ganen byr på moden svartplomme, lakris og lærhint, med seige tanniner og varme fra me…

En svært moden Zin med tørre, støvete tanniner og en smak av kirsebærlikør, alkoholen er alltid tilstede. Den har gode bein for sin stil.

Utført i en stil som med rette kan kalles europeisk, tilbyr denne lavalkoholholdige, delikate vinen korrekte dufter og smaker for druetypen, med en lett trekrydret karakter.

Denne vinen åpner med en intens bukett av hvite roser med innslag av krydder til baking. Den blomsteraktige følelsen går igjen i ganen sammen med moden banan, pære og nellik, pluss varmen fra alkohol…

For those who like their Zins on the sweet side, this one's rich in raspberry and cherry jam flavor, with the sweet, honeyed taste of glycerine from high alcohol.

Shows the winery's characteristic green, tart gooseberry flavors and zesty acidity. There's a richer streak of grapefruits and pineapples. It's an elegant wine whose low alcohol, below 13%, doesn't p…

Sweet and sour acidity marks this dry wine, made from a variety that's been out of fashion for decades. With just a touch of oak, its tart tangerine, citron, lemongrass and mineral flavors star. Drin…

Green, herbaceous notes of lemongrass accent this steely, slightly nervy Chardonnay. While satisfyingly full in body and alcohol, it's a refreshing wine with cutting lemon-lime acidity highlighting f…

Sensations of dark cherry, cinnamon-spice and a hint of orange peel can't support the searing alcohol that throws this out of balance. Drink now to capture the remaining freshness.

Intensely floral aromas of violet and iris lead the nose along with a whiff of menthol. The one-dimensional palate offers black cherry, cranberry and licorice alongside bright acidity and fine-graine…

Coming in at just under 13% alcohol, this is a dry, Provence-styled rosé marked by crisp strawberry and citrus flavors. Ending on a refreshing, slightly chalky-mineral note, this would make a fun sum…

Tempranillo has become a mainstay red grape in southern Oregon, but it's a rarity further north. Light toasty fruit flavors suggest tart raspberry with a hint of wood from 14 months in 20% new Americ…

On the dry side, this medium-bodied kabinett clocks in at 11% alcohol but seems balanced anyway, with peach and pear aromas and flavors given complexity through notes of smoke, clover blossom and min…

This shows the superhigh alcohol that Zins from this vineyard often achieve. It's bone dry, but it has a heaviness and heat that make it Port-like, with black currant, prune and dark chocolate flavor…

This blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache blend is high in alcohol and ultra ripe with fruit. It's pushed well past any subtlety, with dark black fruit flavors, chewy tannins and some heat on the fini…

Here's a lusty, full-throttle wine that's marked by strong flavors of black pepper, blackstrap molasses, blackberry jam and creamy dark chocolate. High alcohol gives it a touch of heat and glyceriney…

Stainless fermented and aged, this tart, apple-flavored Pinot Gris is close to fresh cider in flavor. The alcohol is low enough that it is almost invisible. Just pure, juicy, clean fruit comes throug…

Slightly rich on the nose, with aromas of baked black plum, campfire and alcohol. The palate is flush yet a touch acidic; but there's enough body and quality fruit to support the acids, resulting in…

Lovely, light, fresh and delicate, this Barbera is young, juicy and appealing. The fruit mixes light berry flavors with tart, tangy acids; the flavors seem to gather in the mid-palate, showing excell…

It's all about ripe, jammy blackberries, cherries and dark chocolate in this soft, tannic Cabernet. The alcohol is noticeable for the heat it gives, and the finish is rich with glycerols. Drink soon.
