Guado delle Casaline Bolgheri Rosso Merlot Blend 2023

Azienda Agricola Poggio al Grillo Guado delle Casaline Bolgheri Rosso 2023, Tuscany, Italy

It is time for some Merlot on this
#MerlotThursday.

Purple in color with a purplish rim.

Very aromatic nose of blue fruits and sweet cherries.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, plums, cherries, light earth, herbs and spices.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and cherries.

This is a very tasty Merlot. A very unique wine from Bolgheri, Italy. Nicely balanced and easy drinking.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.

Nice to see such low alcohol from this region.

Good by itself or with food.

A blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Sangiovese.
Aged in ceramic vats for 8 months.

13% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$45.

Superiore Valpolicella ripasso Red Blend 2019

The winery offers tasting notes that give wild cherry as one of the flavors. That assessment is right on the money. The red fruit - cherry, red currant - is bright and complex, with a dark, earthy edge pushing in from the side. It’s a darkly tinted wine, with a smooth mouthfeel. I paired it with a beef tenderloin for our New Year’s feast, and It was great. I also used it in a wine sauce for the meat, and it was superb. — 2 years ago

Riserva Poggio delle Rose Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2010

Poured into a decanter about 90min before service; enjoyed over a several hour period. The 2010 “Poggio delle Rose” pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Bing cherries compote, red flowers, balsamic, oiled leather. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. This is a flashier expression of Chianti Classico Riserva by Castell’in Villa, with a modern touch. However, the sense of place is not even a question. This is Castelnuovo Berardenga through and through. Drinking well now with an extended decant and will continue to drink well through 2030, easy. — 2 months ago
