Vigne A Porrona

Beau Vigne

Estate Stags Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Ron R
9.4

Nose presents baking spices and a touch of soft brown sugar. Palate is dense and layered, as usual for this producer (before the winery changed hands the first time around). Notes of coffee, tobacco and maple syrup come through on the mid palate. Nice tannin/acidity combination complete what is a classic BV presentation. Drink these within the 24 months. This winery has been on the slide ever since Ed Snyder and team departed. I tasted some of the 18’s and 19’s and they were a mere shadow of the previous product.

Tenuta delle Terre Nere

Cuvée della Vigne Niche Calderara Sottana Etna Bianco Carricante 2022

Savory, fruit and texture driven blend of Etna’s Carricante plus three other local grapes. It displays a clear and bright, light straw yellow appearance backed up by attractive high toned aromatics of citrus and white stone fruits.

On the palate, it is oak-free, medium bodied and nicely balanced with an ample supply of juicy acidity and perfumed fruit that gives the Bianco a long, satisfying finish. Overall, this is an elegant and flavorsome sip-and-savor wine that should appeal to just about anyone.

Principessa Gavia Gavi Cortese 2022

100% Cortese grapes. Bright straw gold color. Aromas and flavors of golden delicious apple, lemon/lime, white flowers, hay and pineapple. A distinct steely (somewhat bitter) minerality on the medium-short finish. Soft textured and fresh with crisp, well balanced acidity. Refreshing. — 5 months ago

Vigne Sparse Roero Arneis 2022

Always like badly turned. A lot of apples, pears and some other elements on the nose. Somewhat the same on taste with a nice finish. — 2 months ago

Calabretta

Vigne Vecchie Sicilia Nerello Mascalese 2014

Medicinal nose, with hints rose petal, balsamic, fresh plum, and blackberry on a medium body. The palate is medium bodied, almost lighter, with the age not really showing, but a zippy acidity, with sandpaper dry tannins, but light sandpaper. — 5 months ago
