Purchased at winery in Willamette Valley during 2017 visit. Dried cherry and raspberry preserves, with tobacco, earth, smoke, baking spice and perfume. Burgundian style. — 9 months ago
Good structure, velvet tannins, tar, flowers and sun ripened red fruits — 4 years ago
This dark wine has a fruity nose of blackberry and plum, but there are some more savory notes as well. Black pepper, cigar box and black olive also come through. On the palate, licorice and plums are in the forefront of one of the fruitier flavor profiles I have tasted in Apulian Primitivos. The 16% alcohol is not as overpowering as I imagined it would be. The tannins are fairly forceful and the acidity is refreshing. This wine drinks really well and will pair nicely with a marbled rib eye steak. — 5 years ago

Another stunning Carema from this standout estate. Nose is mesmerizing. Stunning florals with loads of pink and red roses. Some tar, earth and spice but so ephemeral and elegant. Palate is rich, ripe and substantial With gorgeous dark cherry fruit and ripe, velvety tannins. Fresh and juicy with insane finesse. Long finish and much more to say as it airs. Wow the nose on day 2 is insane. Deep deep licorice. Musk and spice. Palate is juicy, structured and comes across as very dry but not out of balance. This is like old school Bordeaux structure. The cherry flower on the nose is remarkable. — 5 months ago

Slow wine tasting 🇮🇹 wow, light but full — 4 months ago
My ‘ house’ wine shared w friends & paired with baked Cod & Roquefort sauce, roasted vegetables, & barley. Pretty in color & on the palate: rusted rose hips, some distant forest floor. Medium plus acidity but enough to cut through the Roquefort sauce, & low enough tannins to not spar with the cod. — 5 years ago
