Medea Wine

Punta Greca Merlot 2011

9.6

2011 is still overwhelmingly fizzeling with incredible freshness and strength! That famous merlot's sweet charm is still there, but this wine is far more than just being lovely. Gorgeous velvety tanins dance with acids so harmoniously, on a large podium of ripe red plums and dark cherries, and all decorated with black soft olives and bay leaflets. Vanilla, tobacco and other "oak" signs are submissed to the original aromas, and they play only a role in the overall empowerment of flavours. Excellent! — 7 years ago

@Dan Petroski this was on the Pork Chop wine pairing podium but maybe not as sensational as the Monprivato. — 8 years ago

Could very well be the finest Oregon Chardonnay producer going today. Definitely on my Olympic podium with 00 Wines and Cameron. — 7 years ago

Most of the group had this as WOTN, but though it was beautiful and rich, there was a stewed fruit element that kept it off my podium. Otherwise beautiful saddle leather, soft cherry. — 8 years ago

Opening night of the Bastion, patron selected, five course, back room restaurant in Nashville. Feeling very privileged and fortunate to be under the guidance of sommelier extraordinaire Chelsea and the staff of passionate chefs behind the round with Josh at the helm. I am not popping my collar but I have been lucky enough to have purely memorable meals in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Italy, France, and in the US. Bastion, with praise, lands on my Olympic podium of memorable meals. Visit soon. I see only 22 seats in the room. — 9 years ago
