The Dead Arm McLaren Vale Shiraz 2008

An excellent full bodied Shiraz from a warm year in McLaren Vale and South Australia in general. Red and black fruits with a tarry creosote note as in previous notes. Rich and flavoursome on the full bodied palate but not heavy - very well done. The Dead Arm is the top red cuvée from d’Arenberg. Drinking at its peak. — 5 days ago

I adore this woman maker in the Dolomites, but my friends felt this white blend too suave for the setting (San Juan, PR) — a month ago

I was surprised. I asked for whatever Franciacorta they had, she said they only had Trentino opened, they offered this, and I was not disappointed. It was excellent.

@Raun Kupiec if you ever get a chance to try the Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fontadore (vintage), do it. It’s sensational.

Don Melchor Puente Alto Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

My first exposure to Don Melchor was rewarding! Rich, dark fruit maturity on the nose was consistent with long lasting dark cherries and red plum on the palette. Soft tannins reminiscent of a well aged Cabernet, the softness of this young cab was surprising and delightful! An absolute treat to taste!! — a month ago
