Superb Spicewood Vineyards TX Hill Country Cabernet blend — 4 years ago
The wine tonight on the eve of our 4th of July, our Independence Day, I have opened the 2016 Rizzi Barbaresco Azendia Vitivinicola from Treiso, Italy.
On the nose there is is cherry, raspberry, strawberry, licorice, herbs, dried roses, light oak and earth.
The palate gives me cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, licorice, tar, spices, herbs, dried roses and dry dusty soil.
This wine is medium to full bodied smooth mouthfeel with medium to medium + acidity and high mouth coating astringent sandpaper tannins that gives you long red fruit earthy finish. I continue to wish everyone a enjoyable holiday weekend, please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 5 years ago

Bought this bottle in 2010 or 2011 on a visit to the Vineyard when I got to spend an afternoon with Mauro. He told me then to put it down for 10-15 years and he was right! Spicy, hot (13.9% abv) and super interesting. Enjoyed at an Independence Day cook-out with Picanha, chicken, brats, and other grilled meats. — a year ago
