Munjebel MC (Monte Colla) Nerello Mascalese 2020

Probably the most structured and darkest munjebel due to the higher clay content of the soil. Missing some acidity, dark red fruit, spices and earthy tones. A bit flabby and heady. Missing the grip of the other munjebels. — a year ago

Buccara

Due del Monte Collio Ribolla Gialla 2018

Deep nose with intense straw scents, ripe yellow orchard fruit, crushed rock. Rich flavors of ripe fruit, crisp acids, and a slightly bitter phenolic edge comes on in the finish. Lots of character. — 4 years ago

Monte Antico

Toscana Sangiovese Blend

Just wow! Love this Blend, probably due to its primary mixture being Sangiovese. Berry fruitfulness measured with an oak dry texture play against each other to make rich full bodied flavor that matched perfectly with Sunday dinner. Highly recommend. — 9 years ago

Teresi Vineyard Zinfandel Petite Sirah 2021

@Delectable Wine - This is the Teresi Vineyard blend of 50% Zinfandel / 50% Petite Sirah.

Had to carefully decant this due to a sh*t-ton of sediment. Nose is a kaleidoscope of oozing, purple mountain berries and deep florals. In the mouth, there’s an initial whack of purple fruit, but it’s whitewatered along by crisp acids. Tannins are present but a light and fine-grained. Only 12.5% alcohol, so it’s much lighter than a typical Zin/Petite Sirah blend. This would be a great choice for a cookout or with a wide range of pasta dishes (I’m having it with a dish of spaghetti with braised Tuscan kale and leeks). Great value and a unique style.

Thanks for posting on this one, @Tom Casagrande, I have a few bottles as well but haven’t tried it yet. It’s Lodi fruit, right?

Château Petit Village

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Aromatically actually very similar to the Ridge Monte Bello- savory and herbal with rich red and dark fruit. Palate is softer and more plush, likely due to the higher merlot component. Delightful. — 8 years ago

Monte Bello Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1978

Ridge Wine Dinner. I brought this cloaked in a brown bag to share with the Ridge winemaker. He guessed late 80s which shows how long these wines can age. From a well stored bottle with an in to the neck fill. Old tawny color, translucent and clean. Linear nose with currant, saddle leather, old wood and dirty gravel stone. Perfectly balanced in the mouth with fruit that is slightly faded, but matched well with fully resolved tannins. With several hours of air a richness in the fruit developed that was extraordinary. Yet still some acidity and structure remains so this should stay in a nice drinking window for the foreseeable future. Winemaker Eric explained that based on inspection of the glass, the bottle I brought was one of the '78 MBs that was not rebottled due to a malo issue after initial bottling, which might explain how fresh it is versus other '78 MBs he said. — 9 years ago
