Colle Massari

Rosso Riserva Montecucco 2016

Rustic, countryside. Woodsy cherry, with sweet raisins, dates, and a cedar core. There are roses and tar and other dusty notes on the periphery.

Powerhouse of flavor, with grippy tannins and a little bit of heat (14.5%) on the swallow.

Cantina di Solopaca

Beneventano Aglianico 2021

Cool label. Folk art vibes and a fancy crest. Lovely color. Slightest rust in the red rose petal paint palate. Aroma is slightly musky with a floral element. Zinger Tea. (That’s rose-hips). Flavors are herbs and citrus peal. Some berry Danish. Very Italian flavors. Clean and clear on the tongue too. This is a nice flavorful classic from the hills of the Italian countryside. — 3 years ago

Tenuta Sassoregale

Maremma Toscana Sangiovese 2019

I’m on a Sangiovese kick (as that’s where I fell in love with wine). This is by far the best I’ve had in recent memory. Full, high tannins and that deep cherry and earthy Italian countryside taste. Highly recommend. — 4 years ago

Grosjean Frères

Torrette Petit Rouge Blend 2016

A blend of 80% Petit Rouge with the rest from Vien de Nus, Doucet, Fumin, and Mayolet - grapes I’m totally blind to. It’s beautiful and speaks the language of the rustic Italian countryside. It has the power, transparency, and boldness of Nebbiolo, but with cool dark berries instead of bright cherries and leather. — 6 years ago

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2019

Violet, Barney purple. Aromas of cedar and cinnamon. Tanneries and countryside. Cloves and boozy watermelon.

Dry, tannic, muted acidity. Herbal quality. Nice, but waiting for it to open up.

Marqués de Tomares

Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2015

Big pastry guy as you can see. This baby never stays empty.

The wine seller calls these grapes “happy grapes.”

Plummy, rich, dark, sweet like licorice and cedar. A forest perfume of pine.

They’re definitely happy because I’m happy. This is a succulent, rich wine. A lot to enjoy. A good rouse between tannins and acid on the palate, in a good way, like an entertaining joust, a rumble in the ring, or the bull and the toreador. This is the downs I imagine Hemingway drinking from the bottle at a spontaneous picnic on the Spanish countryside in his real life The Sun Also Rises.

Dry, but not leaving you puckered and wanting more, just the right balance with a creamy mouthfeel of silken roses to follow, lingering on the palate like the twirl of the toreador’s cape in the ring.
