Full and bold taste … fruity and smoky — 8 months ago
Stopped in a wine bar in Hiroshima Japan called Lemon Stand. They serve natural wine and tonight’s option is this Sassaia. Wonderful surprise with nice acidity. Notes of apricot and oak but still young. This wine is delicious with the salinity of Hiroshima oysters. — 9 months ago

For me at it’s peak. Nice fruits like bramble dark cherries and plum, combined with meaty tones, leather and some umami. — 2 months ago

Medium ruby in color; plums, bell peppers, and paprika on the nose; medium acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like raspberries, jalapeño, and wet slate with a long finish. It's a really interesting flavor. It's not for everyone, but well made. I like it. — a year ago

Really very good. Probably best wine I’ve had from Ceritas. 12.3%, tastes old school but with slightly more new world flavor characteristics like warm spices and purple berries. Great acid and lingering finish. Very enjoyable and fun to try with the age. — 7 months ago

Skin-contact Torontel/Torrontés from very old vines (nearly 80 years old) in Loncomilla, a sub-region of the Maule Valley in Chile. 8 months of skin maceración, hence the intense orange color. Very fragrant, aromas of tropical fruit aromas (guava). Round, complex, smooth — 5 years ago
Lovely light bodied red. First time we have tried the pais varietal. — 6 years ago
Deep and dark ruby garnet. Abundant nose of black cherry and pipe tobacco. Echoed on the palate with a stony mid-palate and a cigar box finish. Velvety tannins coat the mouth from entry to the medium long finish. Toro is probably best known (to those who know it) through really high-end wines that cost more and are less well-known than their fellow Tempranillo-based brothers from Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Darker and fuller than either, Toro at more moderate price points (like this one) let the wineaux experience Spain (and Tempranillo) at a higher level without breaking the proverbial bank. A great alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon (New or Old World) that’s ready for steaks, roasts, root vegetables, hearty casseroles, or any other “deep red” meal. Drink now through 2025. — 7 years ago

Rustic with notes of wild strawberry and savory herbal notes. Juicy and acidic. Great with a turkey burger. — 14 days ago
