9.0

75% Zinfandel, 20% petite Syrah, 5% barbera. Pepper on the nose that precedes a sharp tang of dark fruit. Smoke, figs and wood follow on a layer of acidic tannins. Probably needs more time to mellow if I had more patience…. — 11 hours ago

Light and tart at the outset. First notes are full of juice with pomegranate, green apple, and apricots. This lingers on into the finish with just a touch of smoke. Easy to enjoy. — 3 months ago

9.0

This is a wine from the Pelaverga grape, which I learned was almost extinct decades ago. Reminiscent of Pinot noir with bold contrasts of strawberries and floral notes and an edge of acid and bitters. Level and elegant and also easy to drink. — 5 months ago
