Corse Figari Red Blend 2012

Very rustic and musty, from what I hear this amount of time must have really softened its rough edges because this has some refinement to it. Amber red color, with slight coppery hints, the nose is musty like an old felt book binding, or some velvet church pews, with prominent fruit as it’s allowed to open up, and even some hints of dusty bubble gum and deep floral notes towards the edges. Looong legs on a medium body, the tannins are well integrated and grippy, with a strong foundation, but melt after a little while. There’s serious graphite and minerality here, but that opens into some savory notes, black currant and olive, as well as some balsamic, but after the tannin let go you get some serious cacao or dark chocolate notes, even some tobacco smoke, with fig and blood orange at the finish. I don’t know why people dog on this wine, it just needs time to mature, more than folks realize. Paired with spek, sheep’s milk cheese, and the film “A Prophet”. — 8 months ago

Fontanasanta Vigneti delle Dolomiti Manzoni Bianco 2020

Slightly carbonic but delicious. Ripening pineapple, white stone fruit and an unfiltered appearance… My friend Elias Fernandez at Shafer loves this one as well… @Paul T- Huntington Beach @Shay A @Stanley Barrios @Shauna Summers @Jim Trobaugh @Neal Schaffer @Ian Blackburn @Warren Sapp — 3 years ago

A carbonic white wine?

@Shay A yes just a slight carbonic touch. Not champagne worthy but a little tingle on the palate…

Ah, I thought you meant carbonic via fermentation (as in carbonic maceration). Would have found that quite unique since most whites don’t go through that!

Drank back to back to continue. Pleasant and fruity but earthy. Well balanced. Best of their Pinots and hopefully not just the vintage. — 2 years ago

Good but not great. Would get again but others are better for the price. Bright and lighter. Still some oak. — 3 years ago

Sweet heat. The 2024 is 136.1 proof, but Delectable didn't have that option. This one takes an ice cube.
Listening to Mason Prophet, a friend and a great songwriter.

I do love the music notations in all your reviews, Dave.

Thanks! Maybe obnoxious, but music is very important.

Shafer Vineyards

Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay 2019

Tout a été dit et redit sur le Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select et le duo Doug Shafer et Elias Fernandez. Par contre un peu moins sur le Chardonnay Red Shoulder. Il provient du Red Shoulder Ranch dans le district de Carneros au nord de la vallée de Napa. Red Shoulder est une espèce d'épervier qu'on retrouve près du vignoble. Le 2021 est un vin achevé. La robe est jaune claire sans aucun signe de vieillissement. Le nez est complexe avec des notes de gingembre, de citron, de beurre et de vanille. En bouche le liquide est puissant, long, avec les mêmes saveurs qu'au nez avec du fruit de la passion en prime. L'alcool est un peu dérangent en bouche avec ses 14,9%. Ça se goûte ! — 9 months ago

Hanna Winery was founded in 1985 by Dr. Elias Hanna, a cardiac surgeon, who found a place to continue farming heritage of his upbringing in Syria & in the 70s he purchased 12 acres in the Russian River Valley now 600 acres are run by oldest daughter Christine. Straw color with aromas of stone fruits and citrus notes. Palate shows apple and pear flavors with creamy citrus notes. Medium finish ending with fruit, spice and mineral citrus character. Good value. — 3 years ago
