This wine is a medium-dark red with good clarity. The nose brings a boatload of cherry, black cherry, and plum aromas, with herbal notes and a faint trace of barnyard. The palate is all about the red fruit. Tannins are healthy, acidity is fresh.

2022. Enjoyed the 2021 earlier this year, but this pairing of ricotta ravioli and brown butter sage sauce really worked well with the nutty bitterness in the finish of the wine. — 3 years ago

This wine is a play on Rhone Hermitage style wines, named Le Barrettage. If you had this blind, you wouldn’t necessarily call Syrah and certainly not Rhone.

This is a very ripe, lush, rounded wine that is pure elegance. Dark fruits, strawberries with blueberries over the top, rich, moist dark earth, used leather, lightly savory meats, black pepper, underbrush, great round acidity with bight; dark, red, purple and blue florals. Good young and will age easily 10 years.

All of the La Sircena wines are small production. Hundreds of cases. 2500 cases of total production.

Good to see our friend Dave Schulze formerly of Joseph Phelps & Brand again. — 6 years ago

One of my favorite wines. Like a perfect German retailing with some little floral notes to it.

Nothing has changed since I last opened one of these beauties. Filtered, aerated with Venturi, and decanted for an hour or so. Spectacular! — 6 years ago

Red wine from Neive, Italy. Of course make sure it breathes by decanting it, or pouring thru a Venturi style tube, or by pouring from 14 inches above your wine glass and letting it breathe for awhile. I poured it in a Bordeaux-shaped wine glass. This wine can take on the hearty flavors of a garlicky lasagne, or of a rosemary/mint herbed fatty rack of lamb. A hint of a peppery finish. — 6 years ago
