Gioia del Colle Primitivo 2022

Wow, what a fantastic Primitivo/Zinfandel! Tasting blackberries (very fruity but dry) and a bit of red pepper berry. Full-bodied, modest tannins. Absolutely would buy this again. Purchased at Clos. — 20 days ago

Ramitello Molise Red Blend 2016

I have never tried a wine from Molise before. On the Adriatic coast east of Naples and a little north of Bari, I had no idea what to expect. This 85% Montepulciano and 15% Aglianico blend is robust. But somehow shows a bit of lightness and salty sea breeze. Dark cherry, plum, spice. Very good with food. You could drink this wine every day and never grow tired of it. — 2 years ago

Allegoria Gioia del Colle Primitivo 2016

Deep ruby; pronounced intensity aromas of vinyl, tar, earth, and leather upon pouring; more fruit as it opens up, blackberry, black plum, cocoa; dry, medium acid, high tannins, medium alcohol, full, medium plus intensity flavors consistent with aromas; medium plus finish, this is a BIG wine, very complex and concentrated — 4 years ago

Archita Primitivo

One of the best reds of the trip. Very tasty, velvety with tannins. Fruit forward (I don’t know what I’m talking about). Damn good, local and cheap — 4 years ago

Bosquet des Papes

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

Less $$ than most CdP. Definitely recognizable as from its appellation… and a good deal, but, sure, you gotta expect to get no more than you pay for. Less nose than I like. Plenty of heat. Green cerignola olives w/o any brine. Tannic (in a good way for me). Tart red fruits. Bit of gravel juice. A Sturdy wine. Not terribly nuanced. Missing the highlights of many spiky, delicious flavors that all meld together brilliantly of the higher end CdPs, but, hey, i paid half as much as those cost…twice as much as some Côtes du Rhônes which are “correct” yet lack even more nuanced yumminess. I am happy to but this again at this price. — a year ago

Rosé di Lulu Murgia Uva di Troia Rosé 2019

U is for Uva di Troia. Delicate aromas of raspberry and ripe red cherries, a round body with the red fruit flavors coming through, light tingly acid and some lingering light tannins, which is so weird from a rosé! #atoz2021 — 3 years ago
