v16. Really good! Soft smoked meat nose. Bright, juicy blackberry fruit. Clean, dry, black pepper and soft leather finish. Good burger and rib food wine. — 8 months ago

Few Americans understand the depth of Beaujolais due to the market flood by the big producers during the Beaujolais Nouveaux annual festival. The Gamay grape has so much more to offer and Master Sommelier, George Miliotis, shared this great example with me. Dark overripe strawberry and stone minerality. Charcuterie never tasted so good! — 4 years ago

This Aglianico opens with masses of crushed blackberries, sweet spice, and dusty minerals with unreal depth. Creamy textures flood the senses with ripe black fruits, stimulating acidity, saline-minerals and slow-mounting tannins. Finishes sweet and savory, with a bit of tannic heft. $20.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous March 2020) — 4 years ago

The birch tree combined with the Egyptian cotton silk buttery undertones gave me volcanic wine orgasm. — 3 years ago

The last bottle remaining from our 2016 visit to southern Italy. Sentimental memories flood back - wishing we were soaking up the view from the winery, enjoying the company of friends while feasting on home cooked dishes — 4 years ago

Excellent, excellent montelena. This wine was subject to a flood during Hurricane Sandy but has held up very well. Really delicious example of Napa cab made in an old school style. Can’t imagine a better pairing for a steak. — 4 years ago

The Flood is a fresh and aromatic wine with notes of juicy orchard fruits and refreshing acidity. It's really the kind of orange wine everyone wants, full of fruit and joy and very soft tannins, aromatically jumping out of the glass. -Winemaker's Notes — 2 years ago

It was a Paolo Bea kind of night. What an incredible bouquet on the 2012 San Valentino. Coming in at 1.5% less ABV than the previous vintage, and showing depths of dark, earthy, almost animal-like complexities. Here I'm finding balsamic spice over dried strawberries, with moist dark soil tones, crushed stone, dusty dried florals, and hints of brown sugar. On the palate, silky textures flood the senses with flavors of sour cherry, tangerine, savory spice, and masses of exotic inner florals, as zesty acids make the mouth water, while concentrated tart red fruits and hints of tannin tugg at the side of my cheeks. The finish is long, zesty, spicy, and tart, yet still so energetic, as the wines vibrant acids refuse to give in to the intensity within. The result id a spell-binding and tactile experience that is impossible not to like, and easily one of my favorite vintages to date for San Valentino. — 4 years ago
