バラ、キャンディ、イチゴ的な香り。
心地よいタンニンにちょい揮発。
軽やかながら旨味と心地よい酸と旨味があって、くせになる味わい。
イチゴとのペアリングは文句なしだが、軽めの料理なら何でも合いそう。
グラスは白用でもブルゴーニュでもOK。 — 5 years ago

Another last of its kind wine as the San Mateo moved to Alesia label after this vintage. This young blend is really singing right now with bright red fruit and cedar spice and well balanced acidity. A candidate for short term aging, but the freshness of the fruit really shines now. — 7 years ago

16.5/20 (90/100) Приятный, немного ликёрный аромат в котором доминируют тона вишни и ванили. Высокая кислотность и интенсивные танины. Тона выдержки в бочке становятся более очевидными во вкусе. Очень хорошо. — 8 years ago

I’ve had the hardest time remembering my new zip code even despite having written it a thousand times in the last few weeks... maybe I’m still dreaming... anyway...

It was still 90° at 7:30 so I went in search of Sauvignon Blanc. Sunshine Foods is the local grocery and has exactly the surprisingly very good selection that should be expected from a specialty local grocer in the heart of Napa Valley. I’m not going to lie, I bought this wine so that I would finally learn my zip code (even if I did let somebody ahead of me at checkout so I could finish researching it).

The winemaker is Sam Baxter of Terra Valentine and it’s sourced from the San Mateo Ranch Vineyard in Rutherford. At $19 that was good enough for me. Loaded with ripe pear and fresh, almost underripe melon, lime zest, and stony minerality, with just a tinge of honeysuckle that softens the corners. The acid is relatively toned down but still present enough to satisfy most purists. — 8 years ago

Medium crimson/ruby in colour. A whiff of vanilla oak amongst the earthy aromas. Sandy fine tarry tannins. Thanks to the contribution of Matteo Correggia the Roero now has DOCG status which is why this wine is in the 1001 Wines book. Just medium weight but with 100% new French oak, so a modern approach. Good accompaniment to Roast Pork for Sunday lunch. Drinking well now but would drink the next 2 bottles by its 10th birthday in 2023. Tasted again 48 weeks later on 17 October 2019. Fine powdery Tannins to add to notes above. Oak not as prominent. A nice sweetness to the palate. Went well with home made pizza. — 8 years ago
