Alto Vale

d'Arenberg

The Dead Arm McLaren Vale Shiraz 2008

An excellent full bodied Shiraz from a warm year in McLaren Vale and South Australia in general. Red and black fruits with a tarry creosote note as in previous notes. Rich and flavoursome on the full bodied palate but not heavy - very well done. The Dead Arm is the top red cuvée from d’Arenberg. Drinking at its peak. — 23 days ago

Quinta do Vale Meão

Meandro Douro Red Blend 2020

Dark red purple. Inviting nose and medium full, fruit-forward (for a European) palate of blueberry-blackberry compote. Bright medium acidity and medium minus tannins that mostly assert back-palate. Dark and slightly bitter finish (Touriga Nacional showing). Fine example of Portuguese non-Porto red. Ready for hearty entrées like roasted beef or pork. Drink now through 2028. — 22 days ago

I was surprised. I asked for whatever Franciacorta they had, she said they only had Trentino opened, they offered this, and I was not disappointed. It was excellent.

@Raun Kupiec if you ever get a chance to try the Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fontadore (vintage), do it. It’s sensational.
