What a shocker in the wine bar at guest house Casa Rossella in the Tunuta di Arceno vineyards. First that we are free to open a pristine looking bottle and second that it is still perfectly drinkable if not well over the hill! Neck fill is full like new wines, cork in good enough shape to come out in one piece using crappy butterfly opener. Nose dominated by acidic berries and thin earthiness. Palate still lively though rather one dimensional but got that old wine feel I like so much, Finnish long though thin. Lost couple of pegs next day when Joe and Chris tasted. Give it a niner for surviving! Not a fancy label either. — 2 years ago

Somme Des Parties

A Stream Diverted Walla Walla Valley Syrah 2014

Yup, still really like this wine. A nice treat for a crappy week. Sad this is my last bottle of this vintage. Do not agree with CellarTracker, this does not need to be drunk now, could still hold this for longer, still so much fruit on this wine. — 4 years ago

Château de Bellet

Bellet Rolle 2016

Loved so much had to re buy which I nvr do. Got over the anger of seeing it at kl after bringing it back from FR. Accidentally prev gave a crappy rating but the wine is stellar, balanced complex and delicious. Actually just bought 3 more btls as KL is fire saling. — 5 years ago

Tenuta Argentiera

Poggio Ai Ginepri Bolgheri Red Bordeaux Blend

Nice. A tad sweet in the finish. But they only have crappy cut glass glasses. So that may affect the sweetness. Having it with filet mignon and scallops. Cheese gratin potatoes — 6 years ago

@Mike R : A gorgeous wine. So glad @Matt Duncan was able to help us both make a visit work. The 2018 Hexameter is stunning!

From 375. Dark cherries, leather. Nice, but a long life ahead. Sucks to drink such a good wine from a crappy hotel room glass, but nice to find something this good on the road. — 5 years ago

Merryvale Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Franc 2009

I love Merryvale and was happy to find this in my wine fridge as I thought we had drank it all. Needed a bit to open up - probably should have decanted it, but it opened nicely in the glass. Ended up drinking this without food on a movie night and it made the crappy movie I watched much more enjoyable 🙂 — 5 years ago
