Like your mom’s day old raspberry crisp with a fresh lemon juice squeeze, a healthy dusting of white pepper and a scoop of fatty vanilla bean ice cream, suddenly the doorbell rings, you answer and no one is there except for a basket of oily bratwurst cooked in duck fat — 8 years ago

70% Frappato, 30% Nero d’Avola. Medium ruby with a bright pink rim. Very reductive at the beginning. Then the explosion of fresh squeezed red tart cherry, raspberry, plum and cranberry juice. So pure and bright. Mixed with a hint of black pepper. Tons of red fruits on the palate as well. Bright tart acidity. Little tannins. Mouthwatering good. Killer wine. 12.5% alc — 8 years ago

Continuing to kick off the un-labor weekend early in the D&S Lounge.

For those of you who haven’t seen me post Kalinda, it’s a private label from K&L Wine Merchants. They buy a quality producers juice or have them make a wine for them. I don’t know who made this wine but, they are a quality Oakville producer. This bottle cost me $18.99 about eight years ago and it tastes better than some Napa Cabernets at $75 plus that I’ve had. You just have to wait on them 5-10 years. This is somewhere near its peak.

It’s a slice of blue fruit heaven. On the nose, blueberries, mulberries, olallieberries, plum, blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, strawberries, vanilla, sweet mixed berry cola, light cinnamon, soft dark spice, limestone minerals, dry crushed rock powder, dry top soil, black cherry licorice, a waft of dry herbs with bright dark red florals and violets.

The palate is round and full. Tannins are 80% resolved. The texture is sexy. The structure, length, tension and balance are in perfect harmony, (Seals & Croft/America on the album “Horse With No Name” style). Lush, ripe; blueberries, mulberries, olallieberries, plum, blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries & strawberries. Vanilla, sweet mixed berry cola, light cinnamon, clove, touch of nutmeg, soft dark spice that penetrates the palate with some heat, tarry notes, dry stems, soft leather, tobacco with ash, graphite, limestone minerals, dry crushed rock powder, dry top soil, black cherry licorice, a waft of dry herbs with bright dark red florals and violets. The acidity is like a waterfall. The long finishes (minutes) is, round, lush, balanced, elegant harmony. It’s beautifully delicious.

17/20 (92/100) Слегка парфюмный аромат с нотами спелых ягод черешни, ежевики, красных яблок, чёрного листового чая и шоколада. Тельное с умеренной кислотностью и мягкими, обволакивающими танинами. Ягодно-шоколадное во вкусе. Яркий новосветский стиль. — 8 years ago

Oaked raspberry aroma with a hot, booziness to the nose. Smooth and lightly tannic. Medium bodied. Low acidity. Notes of cherry juice, raspberry, & plum. Jammy Zinfandel front that finishes like a cab with smoke & hotness. — 10 years ago
