Brand

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Wine of the night at #PBFW, the 2012 Brand is graced with power and potential. Enveloping, decadent aromas of steeped blackberry, blueberries, mocha, espresso, cedar and sandalwood waft from the glass. Firm, slightly grippy tannins and moderate acidity provides a solid foundation to the more luxurious, velvety aspects of this outstanding Napa Cab. I'd love to revisit this in another a decade or two. 485 Cases | Sample — 11 years ago

Excellent write up on this wine. Thank you for the notes I sell this in NYC and haven't had the luxury of tasting it yet, but their Brio has done well for me. I sold most of the cases brought in with my one sample bottle and a lot of hard work - that wine was no joke either. On a separate note, you left out the T in your website.. just an FYI.

Robert Mondavi Winery

Carneros Pinot Noir 2013

For more than 40 years, Robert Mondavi Winery has been the symbol of Napa Valley. Founded in 1966, it was the first major winery built in Napa Valley in the 3 decades following the repeal of Prohibition, and went on to establish the foundation for modern California winemaking. Dark Ruby with aromas of red/black fruits and earthy spice. On the palate cherry and raspberry flavors with herb spice. Soft tannins on a savory frame carry the wine to a lingering finish. — 9 years ago

Crisp, fruit forward. And portions of the proceeds go to their light horse foundation which is cool. — 11 years ago

Vigne e Vini Varvaglione

Primitivo del Salento 2012

Raspberry and blackberry nose with slight rose petal notes. Pomegranate red colour. Medium body with well balanced red and black berry fruit sweetness and acidity (medium plus). Mouthwatering juicy and tangy mouthfeel. On the palate is a ripe red raspberry and blackberry platter with features of ripe cherries and a medium minus feature of french oak foundation. Well structured acidity and fruit with medium minus presence of tannins. Personable of low sweetness strawberry purée from a weathered cedar plank goblet. This is an excellent Italian competitor of a Paso Robles Californian Zinfandel with shared DNA structure ( overseas family). Enjoy with pulled pork nachos or chipotle chicken with smoked cheddar pizza. — 11 years ago

Highlands Winery

Reserve Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Dark fruits abound with black cherry predominating. A solid foundation of tannin's throughout support the delicious fruit but don't overpower it. The corks used are the best I have ever seen, and this vintage appears able to go for many more years. You won't be disappointed in this well made wine.

Tre Monti

Petrignone Superiore Riserva Sangiovese di Romagna DOC 2010

Punches way above its weight class. Refreshing acidity. Bright fruit. Earth foundation. A very happy chianti, one of the best at this price point. — 11 years ago

Cruciata Anna Maria

Toscana IGT Sangiovese Blend 2008

Deep rich flavour with a great mouth feel. Just under 7 yrs old but with the maturity of a 15-20 yr old crafted blind. Definite oak cast foundation with hints of cinnamon, dark chocolate, deep red fruits, and sweet tobacco flavours, all with a touch of the sea. As the label suggests, this deep and flavourful combo of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon (85/15 respectively) will beautifully compliment the deep flavour of any cream, broth, or tomato sauce based on the Maillard reaction (fond) of sautéed meats or vegetables. Highly recommend. — 11 years ago

Alas, those were not our work! My uncle Paddy puts on a good show when it comes to old, rare vintages.
