Rich and delicious, this has flavors of pineapple tart, lemon meringue pie, buttered toast and smoky butterscotch that are balanced by fine acidity and dry, firm minerality.
A well-balanced Chardonnay, this has flavors of tropical fruit, apricot and lemon candy, brightened by that famous Edna Valley acidity. This would make for a great apéritif.
This has a lively, whimsical label and some very good juice within. A blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Zinfandel, it is intoxicatingly perfumed like cotton candy. Otherwise jammy, with dark ch…
Dense aromas consume the nose of this bottling, showing orange liqueur, apple juice and concentrated lemon syrup. The palate is nicely sharp in mouthwatering acidity, offering juicy stone-fruit flavo…
From an estate-farmed vineyard, this medium-bodied wine is earthy and aromatic in baked bread, with soft, moderate acidity. With length and breadth, it shows a tartness of black tea and stems, finish…
A lusty wine, soft and exceedingly fruity, as befits its warm origins. Flashy in raspberry and cherry jam, roasted coconut, sweet mocha and cinnamon flavors, with a savory touch of bacon.
Lots of delicious, complex blackberry, crème de cassis, mineral and cedar flavors in this dry, tannic wine. One quibble is the acidity, which is overly sharp and feels odd, given how ripe the wine is.
Good acidity gives this Sauvignon Blanc a nice crispness. The flavors are of limes and green apples, with a stony minerality. It's an elegant wine, with a touch of wood. A little tough at first, it g…
You get plenty of ripe berry, cherry and currant fruit in this expressive young Cabernet. Smoky oak adds sweetness, making for a delicious wine to drink now and over the next several years.
Nice and easy to drink, with sweetened orange tea, lime, vanilla, honey and white pepper flavors, brightened with zesty acidity.
This Chiles Valley producer, on the eastern edge of the Napa Valley, has made a big Chardonnay that doesn't exude much aromatically at first and veers sweet, but is otherwise balanced and could devel…
Lots of oak and ripe fruit in this flashy Cabernet. Too much of both, in fact. Explodes in blackberries, cassis, buttered toast and caramel, wrapped into the ripest, sweetest tannins imaginable. But…
Impressive, but too sweet for comfort, despite great streamlining acidity that keeps the finish clean. Tastes like sugared orange tea and pineapple jam, with the buttered toast and caramel of oak. Ea…
Dried lemon peels and a hint of butter-fried apples show on the nose. Strong lemon acidity drives the palate, with a touch of sea salt and stone fruit proving very familiar.
Smoky like a barbecue, this wine offers a soft simple thread of cured meat and sweet berry pie, while the oak is supportive and evocative of vanilla. Full bodied, this is a bold, ripe wine.
Age has mellowed this potent Port-style wine a bit but hardly tamed it. The dark auburn edge to the otherwise black color hints at its maturity as do the pruny nutty roasted-cherry flavors. It's very…
Dark berry aromas and fruity but somewhat subdued flavors are supported by firm tannins and good, mild acidity in this full-bodied wine. It is tasty and rather big in mouthfeel.
Fruity and slightly candied flavors make this wine taste fresh and soft. One of very few vineyard-designated white Zins, it has strawberry and raspberry jam flavors, relatively full body and a rich t…
Campfire smoke, roasted game, black pepper and raspberry greet the nose on this wine from the smooth jazz saxophonist, made in Buellton by the Terravant facility. The smoked meat carries to the palat…
Laget av 70 % Zinfandel, 17 % Petite Sirah og 3 % Alicante Bouschet, dette er vin for bocciabane, en hyllest til Sonoma Countys vinøse arv som åpner med skogaktige toner, tørket plomme, blåbær og et…
Denne aromatiske vinen har blomsteraktige, grapefrugtaromaer, rause sitrussmaker, lett kropp, en tørr profil og en litt myk, glatt tekstur.
Lette og delikate aromaer av skivet blodappelsin, Anjou-pære-skall, tørkede epler og pærer, samt en skifer-drevet mineralitet viser seg i nesen på denne vinen. Den er også lett på ganen, men har en a…
Med små tillegg av Petit Verdot og Merlot, er dette en robust, fyldig og rimelig rødvin som er kraftig tanninrik i starten før den gir en tydelig følelse av vanilje eik og svart kirsebær som snakker…
En rustikk nese gir plass for et hint av nellik og asiatisk krydder, mens fyldige, robust modne bakt plomme og kirsebær sjenerøst gir smak og kraft på ganen. Kryddersmaken henger igjen i ettersmaken.
