Vinanmeldelser

Give this Cab credit for immensely ripe, fruit flavors of blackberries, cherries, currants and cocoa. Rich in oak, it finishes dry despite the opulence. It's hard to find anything particularly Ruther…

Mildly intense scents of dark berries and ripe plum meld with warm aromas of vanilla and oak on this Sangiovese-based wine. It has a gripping mouthfeel with juicy black cherry, toast and cinnamon-spi…

This is a very good Cabernet, dry, full-bodied and rich in black currants. But it's not the Landslide of the early and mid-2000s. The vineyard, in the southern Alexander Valley, remains the same, but…

This initially opens with funky aromas of barnyard and truffle that soon blow off to reveal ripe plum and kitchen spice aromas. The forward palate offers up fleshy black cherry, anise and grilled sag…

This is a concentrated wine, ripe and rich in black cherry, cranberry and oak. It resolves itself into a lighter texture and body on the finish.

This is half Cab Franc, the rest an equal mix of Malbec, Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon. Blackberry and black cherry fruits fill the mouth, with just a hint of barrel toast and coffee grounds. Ci…

Moss and wet earth aromas accent a dark, bramble berry core. The medium-bodied palate is supported by supple tannins and shows adequate concentration of cherry and blackberry tones, enlivened by a st…

This generous, friendly red opens with aromas that recall ripe dark berry and star anise. The round, juicy palate doles out ripe blackberry, crushed black cherry, licorice and ground pepper alongside…

You could use this wine as a textbook Dry Creek Zin. Ripe and delicious with briary blackberry, cherry, cola and currant flavors that persist through a long, spicy finish. The tannins are furry, givi…

This is a very nice value wine with balsam wood, almond candy, cola and black-fruit aromas. The palate feels pure and fresh, with a ton of plum, berry, cocoa and tobacco flavors. It's smooth, long an…

This is a lovely blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and a tiny part Sangiovese that shows dark fruit and spice with blackberry and rum cake at the back. The wine feel soft and plush on the palate.

Big, bold and juicy, with ripe black fruits that dominate the rich tannins. The power and concentration both promise a good future for this solid, full-bodied wine, so keep for 4–5 years.

While there is a strong element of new wood in this wine, it also has plenty of ripe black fruits. So it makes a wine that is powerful, potentially complex in 4–5 years with richness and a solid, ser…

Made in a high-alcohol, extracted style, this Petite is explosive in blackberry jam, currant and spice flavors. The tannins are brisk, as you'd expect with this variety, while a pleasant streak of ac…

The nose on this 50-50 blend is piercing, with dark cherry, black plum and mild herbal aromas running the show. The mouthfeel is focused and fresh, and the flavors of cherry, raspberry, plum and choc…

A gentle but flashy reserve-style Cabernet for drinking now. It's rich in blackberry jam, currants and anise, with touches of smoky oak. The acid-tannin structure gives it the refinement of an upscal…

A fruity, structured wine, dense and dark-hued, its black currant fruits giving a sense of lighter acidity. It's just coming into balance, so it will likely age well over the medium term.

Fully ripe, almost stewy aromas of raisin, prune and blackberry are soft and friendly. That's more or less the theme with this wine; the palate is cushioned and dense, while a loamy set of jammy berr…

Bold and very ripe in flavor, but also soft in texture, this wine is packed with blackberry, boysenberry and fig notes. It seems slightly sweet on the palate and finishes with a jammy touch. While fu…

Complex blackberry, black plum, white pepper, wet slate and sagebrush aromas lead into a palate of dried berry, gravel and tar flavors. Its bountiful fruit character is offset by a background of drie…

Aromas of animal hide and latex are savory more than fruity. This feels overdone and soupy on the palate, with sticky tannins. Candied, baked flavors of plum, blackberry and black currant are spicy i…

Expansive, long and tannic, this wine is robust and powerfully concentrated, the flavors a mixture of tart cranberry, raspberry and black tea.

For $15 er dette en god verdi-vin med en solid struktur og fin balanse. Smaker av solbær stjeler showet i munnen, med støttende noter av hel stjerneanis, sigarrøyk og sedertre-krydder på ettersmaken.

Det er et pent preg av nellikblomster i den tørkede svarte frukten og det svarte kirsebærmidten av denne vinen. Kryddertoner av svart pepper, hele nellikspiker og svarte teblader dukker opp i munnen…
