Sette Ponti or "seven bridges," refers to the 7 bridges crossing the Arno River on the road from Arezzo to Florence. Blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cab Sauv & 10% Petit Verdot, aged 18 months in new French oak. Went to a tasting, had โ14 & โ15 side by side. Very dark enticing red with concentrated aromas of dark fruits & earthy notes. Flavors of cherry & plum with tobacco and spice. Firm but approachable tannins, medium length ending with a bit of spice as the finish builds. Best to drink โ14 now. Tasting Sample. โ 7 years ago

Well-fruited nose with grapefruit first on the palate with some slate. Still sharp-ish. Needs time. โฌ17 at cellar door. Tasted in May in Ayl. โ 9 years ago
2012 enjoyed in April 2015. Dark ruby in color with a slight sunset around the edge. Chalky/earth & plum jam nose. Soft tannins and a slight chewy fruit... finish gives you a little jawlock with every taste. Takes an hour or two to open up. Great value at $14 bucks (HEB R/S) โ 10 years ago

Juicy and fruit forward. Soft and smooth tannins that linger for a little while. Paired well with a broiled ribeye. Drinks nicely on its own. Well balanced. Great value. Worth keeping several on hand for an everyday sipper. โ 6 years ago
Black cherries, cloves, leather and tar. It's a ripe, overt Napa Cab that has an attractive balance and surprisingly silly tannins. Approachable now but would be happy to cellar this for a while longer.
Enjoyed at Simon and The Whale in NYC paired with the Simon Burger, which was beautifully prepared, if rather fussy with endless aiolis and such like. โ 7 years ago
Pleasant aperitif. Moscato style presumably from Muscat grape, but varietals in blend not specified. A low alcohol (7.5), little sweet and little sparkling, fruit-forward wine. โ 7 years ago

A wine with the 'yummie' factor, drinks like limonade (in positive sense), playful and elegant. โ 11 years ago

Some days, you want something stronger than wine, and today has been well.......one of those days.
Old No.7 brand, since 1866, a sour mash whiskey favorite. Jack & Coke works for me.
