A treat, indeed!

Castellare di Castellina

I Sodi di San Niccolò Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2020

Quite medium pale ruby rim, wide garnet rim . Spiced red cherries , quite reserved , and some herbal balsamic , saline hints. On the palate more of the slightly herbal , earthy red cherry , strawberry . Fine and refined , quite fresh acidity and gritty tannins . Good length Needs time but shows good promise and excellent balance . Come back in 5 years , will drink well for a further 5-10. At Vinous Icons NY, Pier 60 , Feb 2025 — 8 days ago

Always solid! Didn’t realize this local place had BYOB on Monday’s, although I can’t recall the last time I drank on a Monday. Classic bell pepper with cherries and subtle oak. Nice texture and tannins. — a month ago

Every once in a while, the second label of Mount Eden (from the old Cinnabar property) nails it.

Winemaker dinner at Nari. This was clearly young and tasted next to the 2011 missing the depth of maturity — 9 days ago

It’s just too young. The older 2011 version was excellent.

Tenuta San Guido

Guidalberto Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot

This was the jewel of all of the wine options at this particular restaurant. Full-bodied, a bit fruit-forward; went well with both veal Marsala and lasagna. Bonus: the leftover wine, when corked and stored in the refrigerator, held up well for a week. — a month ago

Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2013

Winemaker dinner at Nari. Fabulous and if not tied for WOTN it might win in some cases. — 9 days ago

They make a brilliant cab, too, as I’m sure you are aware…
