Concentrated and raisinated. Definitely boozy. Lots of licorice, dried pomegranate seed, black cherry, and currant on the nose. Deep color and flavor on the palate. Not my favorite style of wine, but really delivers some nice complexity and tons of flavor for 15€ in Riva del Garda, Italy. — 3 days ago

Sadly this was flawed. Volatile acidity gave a sharp vinegary quality. Not much balance to speak of. Smelled like Fresca. A good example of a natural wine where the faults can’t be accepted as genuine. — 11 days ago

Quite lean and acid driven for Oregon. Snappy and mineral. — 14 days ago

Concentrated cherry on the nose. The palate matches with added black pepper and a touch of earth, plus some chewy tannins. Perfect with veal loin in an asparagus sauce and/or beef cheek with mashed potatoes at Al Volt in Riva del Garda, Italy. — 4 days ago

Another beautiful Chenin drinking quite well. Loads of honey. Deep golden color. Hard to beat this for the money. — 11 days ago

Structured Willamette Pinot from McMinnville. Concentration and depth. Hard to read as Pinot between the tannic grip and more muscular fruit components. A gorgeous wine though. — 11 days ago

Perhaps the best Prosecco I’ve had to date. Bottled “col fondo” (with sediment) this wine is hazy with tons of melon, citrus, and a gorgeous minerality over an underlying richness. Real tasty and dangerously easy to drink. — 14 days ago

Medium bodied with a fruity nose of stone fruit but the palate is quite dry and chalk full of minerality. Found at La Dispensa bottle shop in Trento. Drinking Sudtirol in Sudtirol. 👌🏽 — 5 days ago

Stellar Sangiovese drinking perfectly at peak. Rolling with 30 minutes of air. Dried red fruit, herbs, sarsaparilla, orange peel, saddle leather, tobacco leaf. Beautiful, smooth, and lengthy on the palate.
Just a bit boozy on the finish. — 9 days ago

Second time having this and it is in a great place. Tons of strawberry rhubarb, baked cherry pie, and just a hint of balsamic. Peak performance with this right now. — 13 days ago
