Light, clean flavor with a hint of mineral. Great summer wine with fruit. — 8 years ago

Wine #2 In Italy. We are in Venice and this is the second Valpo Ripasso (last night I didn't have a workable phone). Light to Medium bodied. Aromatic. These wines have both paired really nicely with branzino. Still jet-lagged, with be here for 16 days. Challenging with kids; thus wine will be a necessity.
I'm open to suggestions @Bill Bender @Shay Aldriedge and others. We will hit Tuscany and considering a swing up to Barolo at al.

Delicious! Substantially elevated my underwhelming leg of lamb. This Syrah isn’t as gamey as you typically see — more fruit-forward almost like a Cabernet. And (as I always love pointing out) it’s exceptional value for the price. I loved it! — 7 years ago
Excellent red from northern Greece, this wine is unlike any I’ve had before. Complex layers of blue and black fruits, nice minerality, and an expansive palate. Has hints of eucalyptus that reminds me of Heitz Martha’s Vineyard. Without question the best red wine from Greece that I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a restaurant in Athens, do not miss Scala Vinoteca. The food is excellent, the wine list not long but very good, and the service is fantastic! — 8 years ago

2010 probably could have used a few more years in the bottle. Interesting taste though! — 8 years ago
Delicious, smooth, has fruit and acidity but not overpowering. Paired wonderfully with a spicy meal. Reasonably priced for Priorat. Decant before drinking. — 9 years ago
Very nice blend, our standard glass at Curate — 9 years ago
Delicious pinot. Not too sweet but fruity — 9 years ago
Cabernet Sauvignon/Grenache 50/50 blend. 16 yrs out -- still delicious red fruit. Grenache is strong with Cab tannins still providing good structure. Excellent to drink now but still has 10 yrs left I think. — 9 years ago
