Vista D'oro

Matthiasson

Linda Vista Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

Not getting a ton on the nose. Maybe some slight lemon and white flowers.

Good fruit flavor but also overpowering acidity.

Lemons, citrus, slight stone fruit but not a ton.

Good. Feel like because there’s no to little malo, the natural acid stays top.

Riserva Santa Caterina d'Oro Vigna di Pianrosso Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 2015 pours a beautiful garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and some tart red fruits: Morello cherry, raspberry, blood orange, black tea, red flowers, licorice, leather, exotic spices, and dry stony earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and savory. This needed about an hour in the decanter before it really began to strut its stuff but when it did, holy smokes, it was out of this world. A brilliant wine and a beautiful expression of Sangiovese and Montalcino. What a lovely treat. Drink now through 2045. — 3 months ago

The Sheriff Sonoma County Red Blend 2023

Full bodied, but a total fruit bomb. Smooth, rich and slightly velvety. Lots of tannins, finishes bolder. — a month ago

Bodega Catena Zapata

Vista Flores Malbec 2019

This was the reasonably priced bottle at our restaurant and I like Malbec so… it has a typical Malbec nose late season boysenberry and sweet leathery notes but quite light and refreshing on the palate. I love the finish! Pairs perfectly with the spicy tuna! Still sort of one dimensional yet easy to drink — 2 months ago

Figli d'Italia

Leone D'Oro Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano Sangiovese Blend

Cannot go wrong with 2018 vintage on most central Tuscan wines and this isn’t an exception. A nice, inexpensive, appealing and approachable Sangiovese driven with a gentle tannins, bright orange acidity, juicy cranberry, ripe red cherries and spice and subtle touch of oak. A perfect pizza companion wine for a casual drinking! — 4 months ago

Vista Verde Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

Ruby color, purple edges, with pronounced aromas of red fruits, floral, herbs and complex spice. On the palate concentrated flavors of raspberry, ripe plum and black cherry with orange citrus, herbs, vanilla and oak, soft tannins on well balanced structure. Full body, rich long finish, ending with fruit, vanilla, floral, spice and oaky tones. Very Nice! Will age!
