Canalicchio Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

No formal notes. Sweet mix of black/red fruit, ripe yet assertive tannins, nice mid-palate juice, leathery. Structured and quiet now, shows potential. — 5 years ago

Barraco (Nino Barraco)

Vignammare Grillo 2017

Interesting twist on the typical ‘natural’ wine style. Apple notes are muted and instead we get tons of lemon, some nuttiness, and a very long salty finish. Only small gripe is the alcohol. A tad too aggressive for 11.5%. — 8 years ago

Zorzal

Eggo Franco Cabernet Franc 2016

Great cab franc from Uco, if you are into that style. Fruity (no oak whatsoever), but certainly not sweet or syrupy. Fairly acidic, and with a distinct mineral taste, like chalk or graphite. Lighter bodied than a cab sauvignon or a malbec (lighter colors, etc.) But still a powerful wine. — 8 years ago
