This wine is teeming with black fruit, cassis and sage. The palate is a complex and evolving accomplishment—bright black cherry and sage meld with earthy notes of cedar and tobacco, all framed by str…
There's so much nuance and complexity in this rustic yet fascinating Croatian wine, that it takes a while to break down its components. Initial scents of dried leaves and mulch blow off to reveal an…
A classic Brunello with a savory, aged quality that exudes sophistication and elegance. Dried fruit, cassis, spice, old leather and rum cake form the bouquet. The wine is finely textured, sharp and c…
Extra brut means that this Pinot Noir-based bubbly is drier than Schramsberg's regular brut. Even at the age of more than seven years, it's aggressive in bubbly acidity, with a scoury mouthfeel frami…
Excellent growing conditions and quality fruit shape this fresh, food wine that pairs well with pasta or meat dish. The bouquet is redolent of black cherry, plum, chocolate mocha and spice.
A delicate and subtle expression of Sangiovese Grosso, with tight touches of wild berry, almond skin, forest bramble, rum cake, cola and eucalyptus. Streamlined and tight, with great power on the clo…
This young winery has made huge strides with its red wines, as this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon demonstrates. Young, tight, tart, and expressive, it takes the cranberry and cassis components from cool-vi…
The wine is subdued and clean on the nose and it doesn't exaggerate or mask the quality of fruit. This is executed in a bright, compact and streamlined style that combines freshness and firmness.
Very little of this reserve was produced in 2011. A blend from five vineyards, it spent 10 months in 43% new oak. Firm and a bit steely, it has tight dark fruits anchored in a streak of earth and iro…
Green pear peel and flesh dominate nose and palate and make for a fruit-driven, slender but concentrated white. The melting texture is an added bonus.
This value-priced blend of Carignan, Syrah and Grenache offers heady upfront aromas of muddled blackberry and boysenberry that are infused with notes of raspberry sauce and mocha. Black fruit flavors…
Fresh pear peel and citrus shimmer on the nose. The palate delivers zesty freshness, gentle texture with a little spritz and enticing arugula and white pepper spice in a rounded body.
This is a serious red wine, from its opaque, inky color to the dark cherry, freshly turned dirt and crushed herb aromas. The extra-long finish is preceded by a smooth mouthfeel with expertly integrat…
This wine is structured, with a strongly tannic character that's both fruity and tangy. A deliciously refreshing, zesty character gives lightness and lively acidity. Minerality cuts through to give a…
Earth, leather, black plum and wild-berry aromas are solid and appealing. This is wide and jammy in the mouth, with all the volume expected of Argentinean Malbec. Flavors of oak, mint and spiced plum…
A smoky, well-toasted bread aroma carries through in the flavors, giving a black pepper counterpoint to the ripe and easy apple and almond notes. A creamy texture helps carry and blend those complex…
Bold and ripe in taste, this full-bodied wine packs in plump blackberry and boysenberry flavors, a rich texture from firm tannins and lip-smacking acidity that keeps it lively. Slow-cooked ribs, anyo…
A blend of Arinto and Alvarinho, this is a fresh and crisp wine that also has a richer side to it. Produced in the same region as Vinho Verde, it is bone dry, full of apple and kiwi fruit flavors wit…
Underbrush, toast, truffle, mocha, oak and berry aromas take center stage. The firm palate offers black cherry, coconut, espresso, powered sage and oak extract alongside tightly packed, fine-grained…
This is a pretty, lightweight wine marked by peppery accents. Those give it an almost Syrah-like quality, although the weight and texture is all Pinot. Red cherry and spice flavors finish lacy and du…
This is an intriguing wine, with notes of dried sage, fresh herbs, mineral and black tea. The palate offers sweet, dense, layered vanilla, clove and cherry flavors backed by dry tannins. Still young,…
A blend of fruit from Elephant Mountain, Dionysus, Red Haven, Alder Ridge and Seven Hills vineyards, this fruit-forward wine offers aromas of cocoa, vanilla, anise, raspberry jam and fruit leather. T…
Aromas and flavors of fresh, crisp, green apples and golden cherries seem to light up this medium-bodied and well-balanced wine. It has firm acidity, a refreshing texture, and just enough heft in the…
There is great texture in this wine. It is structured, tannic with a strong pepper bite balanced by acidity. Citrus fruit shows through with fresh acidity and a tangy aftertaste.
