Estate Monte Bello Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

Unique profile on this Santa Cruz Chard. Opens to nutty and nuance and settles to citrus and refreshing. — 16 days ago

Ridge Vineyards

Monte Bello Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2020

Yes, this is liquid luxury, on a pnp, young, and off vintage (fires). Can’t wait to try one with some years on it. — 16 days ago

I don’t think Ridge has off vintages

Right. Should have wrote “fires vintage.” I was explained the blind block selection process, and truly impressed.

Castello di Volpaia

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2021

The nose is intense, intense, ripe cherry, almond, black tea, soy sauce, this is complex and inviting. The palate is acid driven, showing some young and lively tannins, but it's rich, broad, with some matter on the side, cherries and black tea notes, a bowl of a mid palate with that tannic effect, and a long tannic finish with cherry, a tiny salty, savoury note, some black tea and a bit of a zing thzt lasts for a good minute. Good stuff — 22 days ago

Ridge Vineyards

Estate Monte Bello Vineyard Merlot 2017

Nice Merlot with some ribeyes on the grill. Oak still not fully integrated and there is more of an opulent glycerine quality than I expected for a ridge. But still nice. — a month ago

Romano Dal Forno

Vigneto Monte Lodoletta Valpolicella Superiore Corvina Blend 2010

Very dense and black in colour. These wines always remind me of Fruit and Nut milk chocolate. The colour makes you think full bodied but it’s actually light to medium bodied. A luscious mouth filling palate with the savoury milk chocolate together with notes of raisin and date. Supple yet persistent tannins. Reminiscent of a Priorat Garnacha in some respects. — 21 days ago
