Sessantanni Old Vines Primitivo di Manduria 2013

Great wine with a fantastic pqr.
Cherries all over and a silk mouth feel. The tertiary notes are showing very slightly after some 12 years. But the fruit pushes that aside still.

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2001

This is what I think of when I think of Rioja. Dried cherry and cranberry is what I get right away, and then it has more savory/earthy notes like leather and mushroom. When I tasted it I said “it tastes old.” That is a compliment. Hints of vanilla and spice. Felt elegant with a long finish. Had it with fatty new york strips. Tannins and acidity balanced it well. Not a loud wine, but a great one. — 18 days ago

Ancient Vines Contra Costa County Mourvèdre 2022

Lot of dark fruit: blackberries, blueberries, and a tinge of spice. Dark, the wine smells like it tastes. Good value. — 5 days ago

Seriously, has there ever been a disappointing red wine from Contra Costa? Every red vine there is over 100 years old on ungrafted roots in 20 feet of pure sand. What kind of jerk can fuck that up?

Wow, so big, so fruity, a bit sugary. It’s old school cool, like a true OG CA Zinfandel. — a month ago

Old Vine Zinfandel 2024

Spicy redfruits, good depth and balance, works really well with pizza, medium-long finish, just slightly lighter than the outstanding 2023 Old Vine. — 21 days ago
