Carolina Gatti

Biltmore Estate

Limited Release Christmas at Biltmore Red Blend

Pleasant drinkable wine. Sweet cherry nose. Fruit forward moderately sweet cherry, dark berries and holiday spice on the palate. Nice balance of juicy acidity at the front with mouth tingling slight tannins for a moderately long finish. Im not normally a fan of sweeter wines but the spice and changing experience from the front to back of palate was a pleasant surprise. — 2 months ago

Herencia Peumo Carmenère 2012

v12. Fantastic! Inky purple color. Fragrant cedar and smoked meat nose. Fresh blackberry and raspberry fruit. Silky smooth, slightly astringent and chewy, chocolate and soft leather finish. Well balanced. Consistent with past vintage’s . Longtime favorite. — 8 months ago

Hey Ed! Haven’t written you in a while, mostly due to the dysfunctioning of the app/database. Have you noticed delectable not being updated and supported? I miss your wines, showing up in my feed… I really depended on my preset filters to create a search criteria, but those seem to be broken now, and not filtering. Nevertheless, take care… All my best from the old dominion.

🔥 love this stuff, legit NC CF which I’ve had through the years and it is just getting better and better. Such freshness, vivid flavors: just picked cherries, florals, sweet herbaceous notes, white pepper, varietally correct. Med weight, structured but pliable tannins, juicy acidity really conveying flavors thru to impressive finish and all for $15 — 10 months ago
