This weekend we opened the 2018 Domenico Clerico Azienda Agricola Di Viberti Giuliana-Monforte D' Alba Barolo.

On the nose there is cherry, raspberry, cranberry, licorice, roses, clay pots and dusty soil.

On the palate there is cherry, raspberry, cranberry, anise, rose hip, leather and dried herbs.

This wine is medium to full bodied medium+ to high acidity and medium+ firm tannins that move into a long red and black fruit leathery finish. Enjoy the weekend and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 2 years ago

Cigna Vicini - 65% Syrah 35% Cabernet Sauvignon blend deep red with pleasant nose. Smooth and well balanced with mouthwatering acids and gentle lingering finish. Layers of flavor - oak & leather in the background with cherry & raspberry with mild spiciness. This blend is becoming one of my favorites from Monte de Oro. — 4 years ago

50% blend each of estate reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Approachable on opening with dark cherry and some spice on the nose. The palate is earthy with dark cherry, blackberry, and a bit of huckleberry tartness tossed in for mouthwatering effect. There is an underlying earthiness with dried leaves and undergrowth that grows with a moderately long finish. Lots of layers to this. I could mistake this for an old world wine with the exception that this has the California denseness of flavors. — 2 years ago
