Sipping Fine Wine

8.9

Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe fruit, spices and oaky notes. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry and plum with cedar and floral notes. Firm tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, spice, oak and floral notes. Drink now. — 11 days ago

Pale white with a hint of salmon pink. Flavors of lemon peel and grapefruit rind (yes, language is funny). Slightly tart in initial pour. Still assessing, let it open up a bit. Dilute lime emerges after an hour. Winery tasting notes mention that this is bone dry, with three vineyard components adding green apple, peach and red apple flavors. I get subdued flavors of the last two, especially red apple skin, but no malic acid or Granny Smith in this to my tasting. The zero residual sugar is impressive, as the high acidity makes for a great food wine here. 1368 cases made — 3 years ago

The last iteration of this varietal at Navarro, purple red, dense, moderate pigment extraction with about 1mm of tartaric crystals on the cork. Blueberry, cherry and plum notes in nose and mouth. Winery tasting webpage includes chocolate and pepper notes, which I found credible. Two hours after initial pour, I also got cola notes in the mouth. Light style, easy sipping, a pity as this is a long established varietal put out notably by Italian-American family wineries in Northern California during much of the 20th Century. 164 cases made. Well balanced and a perfect red table wine for autumn stews. Another cultural loss due to commercial decisions; wineries only make money and stay in business if you buy their wines, folks. — 3 years ago

Wines from Navarro are so well balanced and this is no different. Ripe fruits, greats acidity and tannin levels with a smooth finish. Can’t go wrong. — 3 years ago
