Da Ne

Umberto Cesari Liano Sangiovese/Cabernet Sauvignon 2013, Igt Rubicone

Wanted to hate it goal Was far better than I Anticipated. For a Few years now this has-been representative of All That was wrong with wine. This still lacks elegance and classic Italian character, purpose tastes more like a wine than previous vintages. I recently tried the 03, qui Was not at all the same as the 2011-2013. It Does Some offer structure and "deliciousness" brought about by the ultra modern style (make up), there is SOME purpose real wine in here.

Intriga Cabernet Sauvignon 2013, Maipo Valley

Has everything one wants from a new world Cab. Good complexity showing vegetal and herbal note Alongside woody and dark fruit character. Has Good acidity, a good finish and is far better than --other Many cabs in this price item. HOWEVER, It Does-have a hell of a lot of torque and requires food and moderation.

Masi Campofiorin 2013, Rosso Verona

This is One of Those purchases Single go-to for many, and as with Many 'go-to' wines (as well as people, places and things for That Matter), I cant Understand it. Perhaps I caught a flawed bottle, gold Perhaps I Was flawed When I tasted this? No sense of place, off-balance and a ripe-greenness (If That Makes Any Sense). We thought It was a generic under $ 15 northern badly made or southern Rhone When tasted blind. There sccm to be Many Who enjoy this, and That is fine, but why not try something new?

Ferdinando Principiano Serralunga Barolo 2012, Docg

Not much to say, lighter style, some decent fresh and moderately ripe fruit.A bit candied.

Clos Bellane 2014, Côtes Rhône Villages Valréas

Geat Rhone blend (50/50 syrah, grenache) ... purity of fruit and elegance..great acitdity, great buy

La Vite Lucente 2014, Igt Toscana

Ultra-modern merlot blend from tuscany, loads of oak, dry tannin. Lacks purity of fruit, sense of place and individuality / character, Perhaps too young, Not bad Structurally, its profile is run of the mill.

Weingut Pittnauer Pitti 2015

Made in a style that we usually pay more for in france, this juicy, peppery and fresh fruit filled blend is a bargain.

Schug Chardonnay Carneros 2015

Far more than i Anticipated balance upon tasting. Oak is present, it is intended not overly weighty gold Extracted. The ripe pineapple compliments the butter / toast and is balanced with a good acidity. Good stuff, worth seeking out.

Domaine La Croix Montjoie La Voluptueuse 2014, Bourgogne Vézelay

Aromatically rich aromas of dried tropical fruit, melon, butter. On the palate it stays true to those aromas but provides great acidity and mineralty that reminds one that we are in burgundy. Great value

Prà Morandina Valpolicella 2015, Valpolicella
