Ooooh boy, this one’s a tongue twister. Heavy acid with notes of lemon on the nose with a bit of lime as it rolls off. Starts a tad sweet then dries a bit as it opens up. Pleasant on it’s own or with lighter fare fish grilled chicken breast. — 4 years ago
Nice fruit, fine tannin, graphite on the nose. Smooth and very drinkable.

Washington GSM? OK. Very solid. I’m not sure I could tell the difference between this and an entry level CDR. Very enjoyable though. Stewed cherries on the nose and palate with a med finish. Great lunch wine in this WFH era. — 4 years ago

Deep purple. Nose of plum, baked blueberry, and classic eucalyptus. Palate shins with bright red and black fruit, with leather and tobacco in the background. Tannins are there, but softened, and well checked. No signs of heat. This vintage is showing softer fruits and greater balance than previous. Solid stuff! — 6 years ago
Black Truffle ravioli, heirloom tomatoes, and farm fresh kale went perfectly with this properly aged Valtellina Nebbiolo. It has truffle and aged salumi with baked plum and smoky cherry bursting aromatically alongside violet and briny plum reduction. A corned beef and grilled pork along with ground steak skimming. Amazing. Blood orange dried bing and cran, dried violet, cedar and light tobacco, clove, and lightest graphite. This is elegant as a samurai sword with the blacksmith residue to prove it, Rose petal, and a hemp resin moment tamed by cinnamon. Incredible on all levels. #rainoldi #rainoldivaltellina #valtellina #valtellinasuperiore #sassellareserva #nebbiolo #chiavennasca — 4 years ago
