Il Carrubo Rosso di Sicilia Red Blend 2016

Crazy good. Diers is gifted with syrah. Soaring aromas of red and blue berry fruit,  some confection and pastry notes, clay and clean earthy minerals, mint, spice. So fresh and clean! Mineral, ripe, bright acid, powdery tannins on the finish. Just delicious, more sweetness than the 18s. Demolishes most any Rhone or domestic syrah for the money. — 3 years ago

@Lyle Fass you’ve got me hooked. So much so that when I ran out of bottles I located what may be the only one other domestic source of Vinding Montecarrubo which happened to be the local liquor mart 15 minutes away from me.

Cuvée Speciale Montecarrubo Terre Siciliane Red Blend 2018

80% Syrah 15% cab franc 5% merlot

Nose is gorgeous Bordeaux. A hint of spice. Sexy almost slutty roses. Liquid sex. Halfway between Audrey and Marilyn. A gorgeous floating fresh rose.

Palate is perfect Napa cab if it were. Raspberry. Some Tobacco. Perfect. Gods spice. So good. So not what we normally sell. Napa cab by a genius. Gorgeous sweet fruit. Gods raspberry liquor^3. Sweet raspberries. Savory. Salty.

Finish is beautiful fruit just past the knife edge of ripeness so you Taste what the fruit is and not the heaviness or Sweetness

Rudolf for Family & Friends Terre Siciliane Syrah Blend 2018

Nose is lilacs and sweet blackberries. Hint of wood on open. A hint of green pepper. A hint of rubber.

Palate is silky. Sweet blackberries. Amazing deliciousness.

Really just a delicious bottle of wine for the price. Very well made as would be expected from mr Diers.

Honestly Blind I’d guess really good $300 Napa cab that if actually drink. Does not scream syrah. Guess I’m a dummy.

As this opens more an elegant Bordeaux feel.

Either a delicious affordable wine to drink just to make you happy or a wine to totally mess with your friends.

Bought from fass selections.

Cuvée Suzanne Montecarrubo Syrah 2018

100% syrah

Nose is beautiful. Raspberries blackberries melded at the dna level. Integrated. Just perfume. Flower of a spice. Very jumpy - launches itself at the nostrils. Just fills them.

Palate is perfect. Raspberries. Blackberries. Perfect texture spice. Fucking insane. A hint less dense than Podere forte but more perfumed. Like mountain water crazily infused with spiced raspberries. A hint of the most gorgeous licorice. Savory. Salivatory.

A very elegant syrah. Even more so than Cote rotie in a Sense. The crappy soils tone down the fruit expression so it’s much more refined and naked.

Silky texture.

9.2

Lots of fruit (blackberry, red currant, strawberry) paired beautifully with a black olive component. Very deep and with a LOT of potential left. Will get way more elegant in the next 5-10 years. — 9 years ago
