Vinanmeldelser

The Reveler er Revelrys hovedblanding, en miks av omtrent like deler Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot. Florale og sukkerpulveraktige dufter leder inn i en lys og pen smak, som viser frem…

Ved første skjenk viser aromaene av toast, kull, krydder og urter en reduksjon som forsvinner over tid. Smaken av lilla frukt er lettere i stil, med en behagelig følelse av renhet, der konsentrasjone…

Denne aromatiske vinen har noter av smørpopcorn fra kino, fersken og bunnfall. Den er fyldig med smøraktige steinfruktaromaer som viser en betydelig grad av kremethet og eleganse.

Denne moderat aromatiske vinen har noter av svart kirsebær, nellik og mange høylytte urter. En smidig munnfølelse med smaker av svart frukt ledsages av faste, tørre tanniner.

This vineyard-designated wine includes 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Syrah. The Syrah component seems to take over, in the form of tart berry, herb and dried leaf flavors. The alcohol, which is 15.5%…

Fleshy and fruity, fresh and full bodied, this generous wine offers scents of orange peel and citrus, and the palate exudes ripe flavors of grapefruit, lime and a hint of melon.

Spicy red-fruit flavors run the gamut from cranberry to cherry, which creates a substantial, flavorful core. The wine dries out and turns chalky on the finish, but it comes with highlights of nutmeg…

A sharp, acidic, tight, precisely-defined Syrah with cranberry and sour cherry fruit. This wine has the potential for years of aging; even after being open for many hours, the sharp acids and primary…

A blended red from Sparkman, sharp and tannic, with good concentration. Tart, spicy and herbal, with hints of tomato and wild berry. It rolls into an astringent finish, with a dark chocolate note.

With buttered popcorn scents and flavors, underscored with pretty, toasty oak, this marries those flavors to a more restrained body, balanced with good acidity and showing fruit flavors of green appl…

Blended with 20% Sauvignon Blanc, this wine starts out somewhat aromatically brooding, with notes of melon and toast. It brings plenty of texture and richness, with a creamy feel and a warm finish.

Pleasing aromas of butter, spice and apple lead to elegant, creamy-feeling flavors. It's a very tasty, very varietally correct wine.

Aromas of dried herbs, bittersweet chocolate, coffee and cherry are varietal and lead to abundant woodspice accents. The palate offers lively acidity that frames the lithe yet sweet fruit flavors.

Toast, coffee, vanilla, dill and other wood spices are far out-front on the aromas. They vie for attention on the palate as well, never seeming to marry with the fruit while still providing enjoyment.

Exuberant aromas of cocoa and raspberry with light herb accents are followed by fresh, forward fruit flavors backed by lightly grainy tannins that bring some astringency.

Juicy aromas of black currant and other black fruits are followed by forward, sweet, lush fruit flavors. Grainy tannins provide the spine.

Made from 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the balance Cabernet Franc and Merlot, this wine is blue-fruit dominated along with notes of high-toned herbs and chocolaty barrel spices. It's medium bodied wi…

Spice, lees and custard aromas are followed by creamy-feeling fruit flavors that taper slightly toward the finish.

This is actually a 2010 wine, but for consistency it is not labeled with the vintage. Fragrant and floral, with the addition of 5% Riesling contributing a pleasing orange blossom/orange peel accent.…

The 2008 vintage produced some truly outstanding red wines in Washington, if your palate runs to higher acid, bright fruit styles. This is a perfect example; it's loaded with raspberries, strawberrie…

A Washington Pinot Gris that has some of the flesh and texture of a fine Oregon version, yet brings the spice and verve of bright Washington fruit into play. Pear, apple, acacia, orange candy, even a…

This tiny boutique does well with thick and heavy wines that frequently top 15% alcohol. This sweet, syrupy Syrah is loaded with blueberries, chocolate, licorice and espresso flavors. Nothing shy her…

Appealing aromas of cocoa, vanilla, spice and red fruit are followed by plump ripe fruit and barrel flavors. Chocolate flavors linger on the finish. The oak plays prominently.

The warmth of the vintage shows through on the fruit of this wine, which is chock-full of pineapple and other tropical aromas and flavors, sweetened by light barrel accents. It's a guaranteed crowd p…
