Monteverro

Terra di Monteverro Toscana Red Blend 2014

9.3

Dark fruit, high acid, grainy tannins, long finish. Elegant power. For Bordeaux varieties in CA and IT I always end up liking the cool vintages best. Scorching a giant flank steak to pair with this and Trump’s impending debate meltdown. Bring it on. — 3 days ago

Docker Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018

9.0

Grabbed on big markdown in a grocery store up in Mendocino. Never heard of it. Deep end grapes. 14.5 a little bigger style but wears it well. Enough brightness in it to balance. Totally solid. — 9 days ago

Haven’t had a miss from Ryme. So good.

@Jenks I discovered their cab franc shortly after moving here and I think I’ve had every vintage since. The evolution in their winemaking has been great to watch. This 2018 is so good. So pure. Bistro wine to the max. I don’t know if they bottle this in magnums, but I’m going to check.
