Portico dei Leoni Pinot Grigio 2015

Clear pale lemon in colour.

The nose is clean with medium intensity. Aroma's of honeysuckle, green apple, lemon & lime.

On the palate, the wine is dry with medium (+) acid and alcohol. The wine is a medium body with medium (+) flavour intensity of lemon & lime, green apple and grapefruit. The wine is medium (+) on the finish and it has an oily texture to it.

Very good wine, best to drink now rather than keep longer.

Portico Hills Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2021

Really pretty. Floral, pencil shavings, raspberry, wild fruit, twizzler and great acid. Santa Barbara meets Loire. — 2 years ago

Titolo Aglianico del Vulture

Smoke and a resinous grape with dried violet and red-black roses. There is a meaty interplay evocative of Cuban sandwiches that simultaneously points at red opium. The floral expression is so seductive! Dry entry that springs from roots in a youthful bitterness, with tannins across the ceiling. Burnt, black currant and darkest toast notes, but with a springy black lime citrus-ness acing like capillaries throughout. Shroud and thundercloud. You smack your lips, and you are literally painting with tannins and charcoal, on the dental portico of your Basilicata basilica, which is dusted with volcanic ash. Spectacular! #aglianico #AglianicoDelVulture #Titolo #ElenaFucci #DOC #basilicata #tannins #volcanic #tanninbooth #Barile #italianwines #italianred — 6 years ago

No. 09 Portico Hills Vineyard Gamay Noir 2019

Tim Fulnecky is a young, Paso Robles-based winemaker focused on Gamay: Noir, blanc and pet nat. Fruit comes from Santa Barbara County. I had the pleasure of barrel tasting this and several of his (very small) production and have great expectations for his future. — 2 years ago

"Strawberry Hills" Portico Hills Vineyard Grenache 2018

Absolutely love Paul Lato’s grenaches. Made in a much more feminine style than, say, what John Alban does, this one is probably still a bit too young but was terrific just the same. Delicate yet intense, the bottle was finished before Vanessa and I realized it (always a sign that we love a wine!). I’d give it 2-3 more years in the cellar...but it’s pretty hard to resist right now! — 4 years ago

Primitivo di Manduria 2012

9.0

At Il Portico, a quaint little spot in the Jewish Ghetto. Packed with locals, we were here in January and promised we'd come back. I didn't think it would be later this year! I love Primitivo. None of the earthiness of the Brunello we'll dive into next (which we'll love) and loads of fruit. Just like its cousin from California, Mr. Zin. Smooth! — 7 years ago
