Almost great from Michele Chiarlo Cipressi Nizza Barbera d’ Asti/Alba...of one terroir...I can’t tell the difference even while being there...BUT the Italians can...w/Passion. 2016 vintage. From the land of Piedmont’s best of class...medium-full-bodied-dry-fruit-perfect balance- tannins-acidity-color-nose yada yada (that’s Italian) — 5 years ago
The CA red blends tend to, well, blend together. This one manages to stand out, I think on the strength of the syrah. Heavy, with a strong bark, earthy note, carrying through to pepper on the palate. High alcohol. Not subtle, but well done at $24. — 6 years ago
Excellent Chianti. Best served on the vineyard, but still delicious. — 7 years ago
Dark and deep. Fine tanins and not to chalky balanced wine was short on the palate though — 7 years ago
2014. Interesting that I had the previous vintage almost a year ago. Nice coincidence. Like last year, this is a splendid wine, elegant and perfumed. The 14.9 abv is seamlessly integrated. Nothing jammy excessive about this wine at all. A true delight. Plainly, it’s damn tasty. Yeow! — 7 years ago
I like that one. Tre Bicchieri — 8 years ago
Yum! In fact, yum, yum, yum. Excellent California Cab that is the quintessential iteration of the region and why CaliCab has become so popular. I would drink this anytime, anywhere with any red, roasted meats, hard cheeses and crusty breads. Excellent wine. — 4 years ago
I really like this dry, bright Pinot Grigio—so good with pasta with basil pesto, or garlic and oil with veggies. — 5 years ago
Sometimes when writing I spread all my notes on the floor before me and embark on assembling something reasonable. Ca’Rozzeria is fabulous wine assembled from the metaphorically discarded to the floor goods of good producers. But the trimmings are from good producers that are loathe to part with them. And I hope my words are occasionally decent. I would not call it classic Barolo but I would say it’s fantastic Nebbiolo and the price is stupid good. Okay actually structure/flavors? I’d almost guess it was Sangiovese if blinding. Ripe cherries, green herbs, balsamic vinegar...less rose more violet. 2012 was a year of leaner Barolo. Less tannins than I’d expect than Barolo but that’s totally cool seeing as I’m drinking this sitting on my kitchen floor working. — 7 years ago
I've always liked Vietti's labels and the Barbera d'Asti Tre Vigne is a delightful departure from their usual illustrations from nature. Unlike the label art of a mask, and indeed of the mask from the El Gato Chimney painting behind, nothing is being hidden here. Overt and plummy and floral too, this 2010 reminds me why I love the vintage and how Barbera with a bit of age can be an utter delight. — 7 years ago
A great food friendly wine. Medium body with light oak. Pairs well with a broad spectrum of Italian dishes. My wife had the short ribs and I had spaghetti with garlic and olive oil. Great pairing with both! — 8 years ago
I love an orange wine? — 5 years ago
Är det kallt eller är det kallt efter tre timmar i kylen? Är det gott eller är det gott? Somrigt och prisvärt. Citrus och äppelcider. — 5 years ago
Not the best barolo I’ve ever had, but it’s very pleasant one. This wine needs a decantation, but it’s obvious. An hour after it presents itself with a gentle nose of a leather, some vanilla (maybe from a barrel, I cannot decide) and a red currant. I think, maybe it’s still too young - because of high acidity. — 5 years ago
20 years old and still going. This one is definitely not an 87 or 88. Upon the initial cork pop, this one is a 90 at the least. Given about 2 hours to breathe, this one easily ascends to a 93. Tre Colline currently is Howell Mountain property that is owned by O'Shaughnessy. Don't understand the 87 at all! This wine has a Blackberry kind of nose. Has a lot of herb and spice. The middle of this wine has great weight and density. This wine has not started to decline in any way. Is still holding strong through the middle. However, I do not expect this one to improve any more in the bottle. If you have this one, it is time to start drinking. Very nice finish of some pepper, still even a slight bit of tannin. However, this one has done a great job of integration. Is ready to go without a doubt! What a surprise from Beringer ... without much of a surprise here. Definitely a top producer in the Napa Valley. — 7 years ago
Sweet but I liked it — 8 years ago
Bara idioter som säger att denna är för gammal, den är i sin fulla prime och den smakar tre gånger sitt pris så fuck you — 8 years ago
The 2007 is drinking amazingly well. I'm glad I have another bottle to sit on a little longer. — 9 years ago

Från tre riktigt gamla vingårdar i Franschhoek. Planterade 1902, -36 och 42. Väldigt potent och koncentrerad. Frukten är lite kartig. Gul frukt, vitt te, zest, blöta stenar. Skulle nog behöva drickas om 5-10 år. Alldeles för ung nu. — 4 years ago
