Súper Tuscan with cab franc, drank with rich restaurant Italian meal. Polished tannins, opulent but balanced, glazed red cherries, light balsamic. The 8 years post release has tamed the beast enough. I swear the bottle weighed 5lbs. — 3 days ago

80/20 of Pinot Nero & Chardonnay, Methode ancestrale w disgorgement 3/24. Alot of wine-strong yellow fruit, hazelnut notes, for about 25$. Paired w a cheese platter w true Serrano ham, & which included Garda, an alpine cheese from Lombardy & a heavenly match was born. — 16 days ago

Wine pairing alert— or really an alert about the alert: a five yro Mocato D’Asti ( by an esteemed Barolo maker) paired with… a softly stinky, washed rind, soft, French style ( but from Connecticut) cheese. The Moscato was frothy, perky, & not too fruity to meet the cheese everywhere it went. Enough acid cut. And why wasn’t I doing this more previously? Yum. — 23 days ago

80% Bical, 20% Arinto. I might like their red better ( My beloved Baga) but this still stands out for its showing as a mid weight beauty, lemon curd & almond paste notes, with a strong mineral streak & some interesting fennel & herb notes at the edges. Hopefully not cursing it by saying it’s Burgundy adjacent — 8 days ago

Previous notes apply, with a doubling down on the joyous fruit factor. — 23 days ago

9.1

Perfect Passover wine- pop n pour, extracted enough for those in the crowd who require power in their wine. More on the black cherry & blackberry spectrum. Clean, svelte, uncomplicated but not simple either. Enough cut too, perhaps moreso than previous vintages. Plus the bottle is like a Cadillac (well, like a luxury car, you choose. Im not crazy about Cadillacs). — 25 days ago

Uruguayan natural red blend of Merlot, Marselan & Tannat. Let the Brett blow off. Dark cherry & mildly bitter chocolate, some pomegranate, plenty of sediment, & delightful. Amphora aged for six months after carbonic maceration. — 9 days ago

For under 13$ you get an alpine blend with excellent clarity & volume- guessing that’s how the Chardonnay helps. — 13 days ago

Drinking really nicely right now which makes me curious how long in bottle this may last. Open knit & beautiful dark cherry fruit with pine, rather smooth grained tannins but enough oomph so it’s not too much polish. Very pretty. — 23 days ago

My last bottle, sadly, of a case. I drank like spring water which is not to say it was. Enough cut, salt water taffy, & RS to keep this camper alive & happy for days in the wilderness. — a month ago
