Cool vibes on the label art. Classic euro city. And a tree up above. Murky red/purple color in the glass. Smells like cranberry sauce. (Berries meet citrus peels). Hint of wet shrubs in the forest. Flavors are tart, dry and funky. Bitters. Like in a whiskey ginger. And some berry pies. Or maybe a berry and tart cherry pie. This is as European a wine as there is. Tart, dry, bitter and very dialed down on the fruit bomb and oak vanilla sauce. Tasting it alone it’s very interesting, complex and intriguing. Maybe the true style of Garnatxa… — 11 days ago

Outstanding. Superb and sweeping aromatics of flowers and mid season cherry and a tiny hint of plum. Gorgeous. Tobacco and florals for days. So juicy, dense and elegant with glorious fruit and juiciness. Intense minerality on the finish and velvety but substantial and perfectly ripe tannins. Long finish. — 2 months ago

70% Nebbiolo, 30% croatina, 5% vespolina. Some gritty tannins, cherry/ strawberry fruit, pepper, little bit of funk. Really delicious, though I bet a year or two would integrate the tannins. — 4 months ago

Interesting wine. This one is a blend of Nebbiolo and Vespolina grapes. Not every surrounding region allow Vespolina, but Boca does.

The nose is muted. Not showing much. Macerated dark fruits, sandstone & black turned earth.

The body is mucher thicker from the extraction & Vespolina. Medium plus, fine, dark, polished tannins. It shows grapy, dark cherries, blackberries, a plum/raspberry blend, poached strawberries with lift of blueberries hues as it sets. Dark spice w/ some heat, dry soils, dark, muddy earth with clay, dry stones, dry tobacco, leather, dry wood plank, dry herbs, with red flowers with red & pink roses, round acidy with a well made, structured, nicely tensioned, polish finish that land on dry, fine tannins and stones.

This will require 8-10 plus years to flush out. — 4 months ago

9.1

Old-school Italian wine that is perfect for pizza. Somewhat thin and alcoholic but typical of wines served in Italian restaurants in Brooklyn when I was small. Flavorful and a perfect match to the marinara sauce of New York Patsy’s Pizzeria or Joe & Pat’s. — 7 months ago
