G.D. Vajra

Kyè Langhe Freisa 2013

My wife wanted to buy me an interesting wine as a Valentine’s Day gift and chose the 2013 G.D. Vajra Kye Freisa. I’ve tasted a lot of the Piedmontese grape varietals, but never Freisa until tonight.

After a decent decant, the Kye, being a dark ruby color, was a deep, rich wine with notes of roasted strawberry, wild blueberry, black plum skin, rolled tobacco, white pepper, blood orange, dried herbs and hot asphalt. The wine initially seemed a little wild, earthy and gamey, but that blew off after a bit. Structurally, the Kye was medium plus body, medium plus tannin, high acid, and had a fairly long finish. Delicious wine that paired well with a fire roasted tomato bolognese with rotini.

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2014

Lighter bodied with lots of raspberry and cherry fruit. — 6 years ago

Luigi Boveri

Filari di Timorasso Timorasso

Wonderful minerality, Timorasso, the white Piemonte grape that has had a big comeback. The mouth feel adds a little bit of green apple and apricot, which gives it extra tartness. (I need to get back to Piemonte!) — 6 years ago

Extremely complex and full of acidity. Aromatics of lemon, Granny Smith apple, basil, wet stones and rubber. The pallet features flavors of lemon pith, peach, green apple and slate. Straw colored and lively. Hint of fruity sweetness on the finish. Nice FLX expression of this outstanding Eastern European grape! — 6 years ago

Langhe Nebbiolo 2015

Solid Nebbiolo especially for the price. A bit of tannin, a bit of pepper / spice, hints of cherry and (don't laugh) grape. Almost like a softer, fruitier petite sirah. Mellowed out after a day. — 8 years ago

Michele Chiarlo

Nivole Moscato d'Asti 2018

M. Chiarlo’s Moscato d’Asti is also available in a 375ml which is a nice size to pop open after a nice meal. A slight effervescence wine with a light golden color. Aromas of sweet fresh stone fruits and citrus layered with a bit of floral spice. On the palate flavors of peaches and apricots with a grape-like character. Medium finish ending with citrus, sweet spice and honey notes. A favorite, great value! Grab a 750ml for a larger crowd! — 5 years ago

Domaine A. et P. de Villaine

Bouzeron Aligoté 2013

Made from the other White Burgundy grape, Aligote. Made by probably the most famous name in Burgundy, Aubert de Villaine and his American born wife, Pamela. Aubert is the wine director and proprietor of the Domaine de la Romanee Conti. This is his own personal project. The wine itself:- Mid lemon in colour. Herbs, citrus and a touch of aniseed on the nose. The palate is very citric and mineral with a noticeable saline note. More palate weight than it had a few years ago. Medium minus Acid. Drinking well now and no need to cellar any further. Great winemaking at an affordable price. — 6 years ago
