Dark straw gold color. Aromas and flavors of red and green apples, pears, white flowers, raw nuts, lemon curd and wet slate. Long lasting, slightly salty, and mineral laden finish. Viscous/creamy texture and very fruit forward. Medium body and medium-plus fresh acidity. Just a bit flabby. — 15 days ago

Opened and decanted two hours prior to service; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 1997 “Vigneto Brich Ronchi” pours a deep, hazy garnet color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears and some signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated black and red fruits: Blackberry, Morello cherry, bruised strawberry, dried roses, tar, leather, potting soil, and subtle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. The finish is long and savory. This is in a lovely spot. Drink now through 2027. — 2 months ago

Dark ruby color. Aromas of black fruit, mint, poblano pepper and a pleasant funk. The palate features blackberry fruit, roasted vegetables, balsamic vinegar, fresh herbs and black pepper spice. Touch of vanilla on the long and lingering funky (almost animal-like) finish. Tannins, acidity and alcohol are very well balanced. Nice wine. Thanks for including in your Cabernet Franc tasting, Ron B! — 9 days ago
