Susucaru Rosato Malvasia Blend

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 — 7 years ago

Allegrini

Palazzo della Torre Veronese Corvina Blend 2013

Palazzo Della Torre 2013 Veronese, Allegrini - wow. The production of this wine is impressive. Corvina and Rondinella grapes are fermented in September and a second group are dried until January when they are pressed and added to the September juice. I have decanted it and it is wonderful!!!!! For a restaurant wine I am very very impressed. I am at DePalmas in Athens GA the downtown restaurant. The bouquet is a bit jammy with chocolate and cherries. Like a chocolate covered cherry!! The initial palate is dark cherry, blackberry, and tart raspberry. The mid palate comes quick with notes of chocolate and spice. The finish is wonderful. It is very dry with hints of coffee and nutmeg. What a complex wine. Its the best Italian wine Ive had yet!!!!! — 8 years ago

Senior Faß 6 Ayler Riesling 2015

This is the gold standard by which I judge all other $25 purchases. Insurance for my rental car? Nope, a bottle of Senior, please. Pack of 24 pairs of new socks? I'll wear holes and drink this instead. Honeydew, green apples, parsley and charcoal. RS and Magic acid. Everything you've ever wanted in a juice cleanse and a cocktail all in one. — 9 years ago

Cuvée Réserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

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.
