Work wine tasting part 1. Great Thanksgiving option. Slight effervescence. Paired with mild Alpine-style cheese. — 20 days ago
This is a blend of cab franc (other sources say Tempranillo), cab sauv, and Nebbiolo from Baja in Mexico. Smoky and sulfurous, leathery, with jalapeño notes that grow and then dissipate with air. After awhile there are red and purple flowers crushed underfoot. Resembles the Espadin that I was drinking last night. There are black fruits – brambles, plums, figs – tea, and nettles on the tongue. Reminds me slightly of some maule valley país I’ve had. I love cab franc and love the vegetable notes that it gets, so I’m happy here. There’s a very spiced finish: nutmeg and black pepper. Quite perfumed. Tongue coating tannins. Fruit is medium ripe and theres good acidity. If only all warm region reds were this lively. Not so much balanced as full of tension. — 18 days ago
A great wine. Well-balanced and delicious. The glass empties itself too quickly. — 14 days ago

Poggio al Tesoro is located in the admired area of Bolgheri, an appellation situated in the upper part of Tuscany’s Maremma, south of Pisa and just two miles from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Pale lemon with aromas of fresh stone and tropical fruits accompanied by floral tones and light citrus notes. On the palate tangy peach, melon and lemon flavors, crisp, surrounded by nutty spice. Medium body this wine finished with a gentle touch of savory mineral. Tasting Sample. — 12 days ago
