Tre elementer, allerede i balanse, bidrar til suksessen til denne vinen. For det første den rike frukten, saftig bjørnebær og morbær, løftet av syrlighet. For det andre det nye eiketreet, som krydrer…
Rik, solid, med modne krydder- og svarte plommesmaker. Den betydelige rikdommen balanseres med mørke tanniner, som gir en følelse av finmasket tekstur til denne solide vinen.
Hvem skulle tro at vi en dag skulle ha Sauvignon Blanc-viner som hyller popgrupper fra 1980-tallet? I det minste deler begge en forbindelse til New Zealand. Vinen er litt på den fyldige siden, men pe…
Interessant å se at vinmarker i delstaten Washington kan modnes Sangio i et bredt spekter av mikroklimaer; dette er tro mot sorten med syrlige syrer, skarpe smaker av bær, antydninger av gresskarpai-…
Lis Neris er en kvalitetsbevisst produsent i Nordøst-Italia med en solid portefølje av deilige hvitviner. Blant dem er denne friske Pinot Grigio med umiddelbare aromaer av eksotisk frukt, fersken og…
Her er en rik, myk, lett tilgjengelig rødvin som passer til store oksegryter og grillmat. Fullfyldig og tørr, den er fullpakket med bjørnebær, rips, johannesbrød, fioler og rosiner, med et lag av søt…
Elysium is crafted from Black Muscat grapes grown in the Central Valley near Madera and it tastes of raspberry jam and citrus peel, thick in texture but holding on to enough acidity to balance itself…
A very nice wine, showcasing the Napa style of lush, plush opulence. It's softly tannic, with ripe blackberry, raspberry, mocha and cedar flavors. Not an ager—drink by 2015.
The local cave cooperative has turned out a full-bodied, supple Vacqueyras under this label, plump with black cherry and plum fruit. It's an easy-drinking wine, with a spicy, leathery finish. Drink n…
This new Mistral is roughly half Grenache, the rest a mix of Syrah and four other grapes. It's immediately appealing, loaded with brown spices, plum cake, raisins and chocolate.
Herbal and fresh, but balanced by bright cherry fruit, this is a supple, medium-bodied wine that would go great with grilled steaks or burgers, The slightly dusty finish has just the right astringenc…
A $20 Châteauneuf-du-Pape? Yup, and it's pretty darn good, too. Thyme and clove notes accent the black cherry fruit, and meaty, savory flavors emerge on the palate. It's appropriately full bodied and…
A good value in rosé, this Tavel is medium bodied yet remains bright and juicy in style. Raspberry and cherry fruit sets the mouth watering, then lingers harmoniously on the finish. Should drink well…
Fresh and fragrant, this offers notes of apple, vanilla spice and lemon rind on the nose and palate. The palate of this Croatian white feels surprisingly voluptuous. Dry in style, with penetrating fr…
This is a nice Bordeaux-style blend with pretty cherry and currant fruit and some cedar shadings, but lack the complexity of others in its style. It's straight forward, polite and restrained.
This is complex and compelling. A spicy, minty, thyme-like character comes out in the aroma and continues in the flavor, most likely from some new barrels used in aging the wine. It's an attractive c…
The estate belongs to the Borie family, one of the grand names of Bordeaux, with the wine making done by the team of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou in Saint-Julien. The result is an aromatic, balanced win…
Medium amber in color, this Muscat boasts scents of berries, pineapple and raisin to go with flavors of honey and spice. It's a lush, sweet style, with less complexity than some, but great texture an…
From a winery that only started operations in 2001, one of the new wave in the Alentejo. This Reserva is in a modern, smooth style, big and powerful. But there's one welcome wrinkle in all this smoot…

An aromatically subtle wine with notes of mortared herbs, flowers and cherry. The fruit flavors are elegantly styled, broadening with time, with a slightly gritty feel to the tannins but with a long…
A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 15% Malbec and 10% Petit Verdot, this reflects a pleasing mixture of each, with notes of blackberry, raspberry, plum and fresh herbs. Fruit flavors are…
This is a dry, richly flavored and well-structured wine. A complex, spicy, earthy, cherrylike bouquet accompanies saturated flavors of currant, black cherry and pomegranate spiced with hints of cinna…
