Dry with pronounces tannins. Two hours after decanting, it emergences much smoother and rather nice to drink now. Not quite the standard Fontodi CC, but a very enjoyable wine on its own. — 5 years ago

Terrific but not for the faint of heart. A goliath of a wine. Black cherries, plums, smoked meat, caramelized onions. — 8 years ago

Running low on Cimarossa at home, I need to reload!
2007 Cimarossa 'Rian Vineyard' Cabernet Sauvignon
The next time you go to Napa you should take a ride up to the top of Howell Mountain to see Dino and make sure you also try the best Nebbiolo outside of Italy!

A deep ruby red core of color, the nose is brooding and fresh with blue and black fruits, a streak of pepper and mint, well integrated oak and ripe, firm tannin. A long and pure finish, a great Cabernet. — 10 years ago
The oak has integrated from my previous note in February 2017 where the influence of oak Barriques was overly present. Sangiovese is not enhanced by too much oak in my opinion and is best matured in large Botti like I said in my previous note like Biondi Santi. Red cherry and earth notes finishing with powdery tannins. Coming together. — 5 months ago

Great pairing with Sunday gravy, candlelight and Dino Crocetti. We’ll put this one into the regular winter rotation. Salud! — 6 years ago
Aboard JG One PHL bound. Super pleasant and delightful to drink. Great starter, without food. Courtesy of Dino. — 8 years ago
Not your typical Rosé. Darker in color. The wine has nice acidity and cherry and plum notes. This is a great wine to drink on a hot summer day. — 8 years ago
Sinatra at Winn Encore,
Mystery why no one so fare rated this wine. Fabulous, full bodied but dry. Legs like only ZZ Top can sing about. — 9 years ago
