Good Montepulciano. Some tar and alcohol on the nose. Deep mahogany. Big, round, mouthful of dark fruit. Lingering tannins. Had it with pizza, but I think this would be nice with grilled beef or lamb.. day 2. Much softer. The alcohol has receded — 2 days ago
Lot of that iodine. Mellow tannins. Some cherrry, black fruit. Tannins linger on the finish, but subtlety. Very nice wine from my brother- thanks! — 11 days ago

Thanks to my children for the Father’s Day wine. We grilled carmelized onions with burgers. This was nice. The Sangiovese stands out. Very soft ( the Merlot). Don’t know the % of those and Cab Franc. — 6 days ago
The 2020 is 60% Grenache, 40% Syrah. Nose is floral. I would have thought Pinot Noir or a Marchegiani Lacrima Di Moro d’Alba. The taste reminds me of PN, albeit a bit heavier. Soft and plush. Cherry extract. A touch of spice/ black pepper — 10 days ago

I’ve never been enthralled with Gruner, but they are pleasant and a nice summer wine. This one from the Finger Lakes does not have the liveliness I associate with what I would consider better ones. It’s reasonably crisp, with good scoring and some pear notes. Good, ithough not exciting. — 6 hours ago
