Convivial Gamay & Pinot Noir 2023

Clear, pale ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced intensity primary aromas of raspberries, hibiscus, and dried herbs; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and pronounced intensity primary flavors of sour cherries, pomegranates, and strawberries with a long finish. This wine is balanced and intense. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. Nellie likes it, too. — 4 days ago

Barbaresco Nebbiolo

Floral notes on the nose — roses, hibiscus, plus mint, and the dry fragrance of sun-bleached wood. Strawberries on the front. Medium tannic structure. Black tea high notes with hint mint on the mid palate. Citrusy finish with long acidic afterburn. My description fails in that it makes it sound like a light and floral wine. But taken altogether, this is wine is rock solid, and it hasn’t even begun to develop. — 5 months ago
