Vinanmeldelser

Faste tanniner skjuler ikke helt de klare røde bærsmakene i denne fyldige vinen. Røde kirsebær dominerer, og gir en bred følelse selv om den tanninrike strukturen fortsatt styrer. God syre på slutten…

Pen med blomsteraktig krydder, denne vinen er en verdig fortssettelse fra forrige årgang, læraktig og kontrollert, mer myke røde og blå frukter enn kraftig svart. Myk og jordnær, avslutningen er vedv…

Denne vinen er en blanding av Cabernet Sauvignon (43 %), Cabernet Franc (23 %), Merlot (17 %), Malbec (9 %) og Petit Verdot. Aromaer av kaffe, grønne urter, blomster og røde frukter følges av en fyld…

En fin laksefarge, denne subtile, allsidige rosa blandingen av 77 % Grenache, 8 % Mission, 4 % Petite Sirah, 4 % Syrah, 4 % Zinfandel, 1 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 1 % Merlot og 1 % Petit Verdot gir nese…

Dristige strøk av bjørnebær, ristet brød og røyk gjaller gjennom denne blekksvarte rike rødvinen. Selv om den er luksuriøst konsentrert, er den ikke i det hele tatt kraftig, med syrlig rips og fintko…

It's not easy assessing this blend of Monastrell and Petit Verdot from a warm vintage. It's fiery and almost citric on the nose, while the palate is ripe as can be, with spicecake and blackberry syru…

Blended with 20% Petit Verdot, this unusual offering brings notes of mushroom, herbs, smoke and dark cherries. It's tightly wound with a firm squeeze of tannins.

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 massive blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot is packed tight with cinnamon, clove and Christmas spice lavished over a solid core of blackberry and plum. The wine shows a ripe, ja…

Made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it's a little high in alcohol and astringently tannic, but it has deep flavors of red- and black-fruit liqueurs and new oak.…

A well-crafted blend of estate-grown Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Merlot, this shows the bright-red cranberry fruit of the Cabernet and the spicy, meaty length of the Syrah. Drink this…

This wine is sensationally rich and ripe with wild cherry, mocha, anise and tobacco flavors, with a long, spicy finish. It really impresses for sheer deliciousness. The blend is Zinfandel, Syrah, Cab…

Produced by the winemaking team of Château Giscours in Margaux, this is impressive for a simple Bordeaux. It has weight, rich blackberry fruits, structure and concentration. It could even age.

Huge in structure and monolithic in flavor, this young, rough-cut wine will need until at least 2020 to show its best stuff. This variety is known for aging well, so it's not much of a gamble. The co…

This is a concentrated wine, full of blackberry fruits with acidity and spice. The wood-aging character is balancing out well, giving structure without dominating the fruit. Drink from 2020. Grapes a…

This dark and brooding blend of 52% Syrah, 25% Grenache, 13% Petite Sirah, 7% Mourvèdre and 3% Tannat shows concentrated dark strawberry, meat char, white pepper and purple flowers on the nose. Those…

Brooding aromas of vanilla, mocha and herb lead to a palate full of fresh acids and firm, but not unrelenting tannins. It's an intriguing example of the variety.

This wine is closed at this young stage but hints at an underlying richness. That leaves acidity and fragrant lemongrass-like crispness at the fore. It needs time to fill out, so drink from 2021.

This honeyed white wine made from late-harvest grapes is both intensely rich and so fresh and crisp. Its acidity cuts through the ripe apricot and candied orange flavors, creating a balance that will…

While this wine has wood aromas, the palate also shows plenty of fruit. That combination gives it weight, spice and red-currant flavors along with juiciness. The wine has plenty of development ahead.…

In color, this wine is virtually black, with a deep-red rim, while aromas are concentrated and dense. Flavors recall blackberry syrup, yet are nicely dry. Despite its full body and thick coating of t…

Though labeled simply Washington state, this Bordeaux-style blend is sourced entirely from Kiona's Red Mountain vineyards. The wine includes 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, yielding a deep, d…
