Ribera Del Duero Tempranillo 2019

100% Tempranillo, about 12 mos in mostly new French oak. Deep Ruby, aromas of dark fruits, spice, floral and earthy oak. On the palate flavors of fresh blackberry & currants with tobacco, licorice and gentle bits of cedar. Tannins, are tight supporting the backbone of the wine, needs more bottle age, resist opening now. Well balance with acidity, full body, long finish ends with some fruit, spice, and earthy character. Nice! — 4 months ago

Reserve Tapestry Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2013

Elegant, smooth Cabernet blend. No fruit, but rather a dried cherry flavor. The tannins are mellow. Leave it open a few hours before consuming. It ends with a long, bitter finish. — 3 years ago

La Stoppa

Ageno Malvasia di Candia Blend 2017

Orange-flavored wine. One of the best orange wines I have had, with a nose and palette combining oranges and flowers. The citrus attack ends with a strong acidic finish. Many people will hate this wine if they don’t like orange wine, but this is one of the best examples of this style. — 4 years ago
