An inviting IGT from central Tuscany, 75% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot, 10% Cab Sauv. Very tasty and raisiny, tons of dates, multi-layered, already crossing its peak prime time!
Soft tannins, and silky texture and soft finish! — a month ago
Nice but not sure it was quite worth the $40. Gave it 5 hours of bottle open air and that helped, but it ideally needs several more years to really come into its own. There is very nice fruit, and good acid - but the tannins are a bit chunky and unresolved at this point. One to wait on for sure. — a month ago

My first Mexican wine. Dry, dark, but light bodied. — a month ago
A 25 year old gem pulled by Joel Peterson himself. I was one of the lucky ones to snag a mixed case of his cellar selections from 1991-2013 for BD16. Still going strong with such incredibile fruit. Gonna share them of course but sneak a Coravin taste here and there … — a month ago
Light, fruity, balanced. Acidity is moderate, tanins are low and unactive. Nice. Don't wait too much, but really nice as a better table wine accompanying meats, duck, pasta. — a month ago
