Bella Vigna Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2021

I’ve been interested in trying this producer and this Pinot was the first wine from the estate I’ve come across here in Sweden. This is full bodied Pinot in its truest form. Very tasty stuff packed with flavour. Ripe berries. baking spice, liquorice, coffee, cola, pastilles. This is hedonistic but the abv (15%, possibly higher?) is almost taxing a couple of glasses deep. — 8 months ago

The Ojai Vineyard

Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

Santa Barbera Chardonnay is really becoming a favourite of mine. The Pinot from SB seems to get all the attention here in Sweden but the Chardonnay is outperforming the Pinot by a mile. Very bright and well balanced. Seashell, pear, honey, hezelnuts, jasmin, tiger balm. — 2 years ago

Being an easily accessible SB in Sweden I must say I enjoy all their wines a lot, but I agree with your assessment on the Chdy.

Northern Tropics Pét-Nat Swedish Apples 2020

Garage Bar Barcelona. Somm said this is the grower champagne of cider. Crisp. Dry. Almost no sweetness. Tart. Great summer drink. — 3 years ago

Titolo Aglianico del Vulture 2017

We’ve been embarrassing slow at exploring the greatness of the noble Aglianico grape in Sweden.
Full bodied and powerful but remains fresh and vibrant with plenty of energy and a mineral nerve. Somewhat unleashed and needs time to breath to unfold. Black Cherries, Currants, red plums with a floral lavendel like lifted followed by baking spice, sweet tobacco and a warm stone mineralogy that brings tension and energy. 
Fresh acidity and mouth coating tannins with a powdery texture that is well integrated in the good fruit concentration and full body with an expansive complexity and long finish.

Svensk Rök Single Malt Whisky

very peaty, unexpected for something out of Scotland but with a sweet light maltiness. Lightly roasted flavors, quite drinkable — 2 years ago

Schrader Cellars

Double Diamond Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

This one in still available for around €70 in Sweden, so I was intrigued to try the WOTY. Full bodied with ripe dark fruits, plenty of baking spices, currants, cedar wood. I prefer this over The Mascot from Harlan, the quality of the fruit comes across a bit superior here. Very well made. — 2 years ago

Armatura

Brunello di Montalcino 2016

Urban Wines of Sweden has somehow cojnured up this BdM and called it Armatura. If anyone knows more, please enlighten me. 36 mo on barrel and 12 in bottle, 14% alc. The wine is clear and dark red in color; nose is clearly Sangiovese but with more dried red fruit (almost ripasso-esque) including both strawberries and dark cherries, spices, chocolate, and mineral hints; taste is subdued and mild with fine tannins, but elegant fruity with nougat, lemon-pepper. Overall seems well made but with a structure better suited for early drinking than long-term storage. — 4 years ago

As far as I know the grapes come from Pietranera...

Thanks Anthony. So, they come from close to the town. Have you tried it?

I didn’t try it yet. But I guess these are declassified grapes for own production so they sell it to third parties since they still can be bottled as Brunello di Montalcino. And this without having their name attached to it...Without taking a position, your scoring makes me believe this is the case
