Fairly subtle but a touch of fruit. Good with food. — 6 years ago

Last stop on the Sette Ponti Express. This is a new wine for Moretti and I don't expect much will reach the States (only 300 cases made). 100% Sangio, produced in Chianti-neighboring Valdarno. Purity and elegance, high-toned red berries, Italian leather, dried meadow flowers. Perfect combo to a local Florentine steak. — 8 years ago
Gotta love Italian wine. Found myself sticking my nose deep into the glass to be delighted by complex and earthy aromas of dusty earth and eucalyptus and a solid core of black cherry. The anti Orwin Swift....two thumbs up! — 8 years ago
Wonderful dark fruit, hints of chocolate, good legs. A truly fine example of a warm, silky Pinot Noir coming from Oregon. — 9 years ago
Dry tart amazing. I'd buy so much of this. — 9 years ago
On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor, and violin soloist, Leonidas Kavakos is leading an BEETHOVEN (Violin Concerto in D, Opus 61) and then concluding with DVOŘÁK (Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Opus 70). It is a rare treat to have a combination conductor/soloist leading the Orchestra, only the second time I can recall in about 12 years of attendance. The other instance was with Anne-Sophie Mutter, also a violinist, a few years ago now.
Nose has cut yellow apple, bag full of lemons, light vanilla, light oak and limestone paste.
Palate has cold butter, sugared lemon, lemon pith, quince, yellow cherry and creamy oak lingers on the medium-long finish.
Quite Chablis-like, except the touch of wood notes are a little heavier, but the caveat, this wine is very young, likely drinking great 2021-23.
24 Hour Update: Oak has subsided, just a great bottle today. — 6 years ago
@Delectable Wine This is the 2016 Minimus Trousseau Noir Omero vineyard. Everyone else, this is delicious. Berries and earth and tea aged texture and lightness and acidity and just a touch of funk. Chad's got this dialed in. — 8 years ago
Third time drinking this vintage. It's ready now. Dope wine. — 8 years ago

Black fruit. Soft. Light. Almost off dry. — 6 years ago
Phenomenally silky, slightly creamy, like the Omero Pinot Gris from Oregon. 6+ months skin maceration does the trick. — 8 years ago
Beer from El Salvador with the same quality as Heineken, Moretti and Stella. — 8 years ago
Another Sette Ponti (Antonio Moretti) product. The winery is not too far from our hotel so it's logical that they have so many SP wines on the list. This one is super-tuscan all the way. Dark, plush, dense, rich jammy fruit, with chocolate and herbs/spices. Drinking well now but with many years left I think. Half Merlot, quarter CabSauv, quarter CabFranc. — 8 years ago
