First taste reminded me of Firenze in that the leather belts and purses were on the nose. Lots of floral arrangements now, solid round, very nice as always. Shout out to my 1 follower @Bill Bender ... it's my birthday and my goal is to be drinking at your level next year!

Very nice nose and palate. Lovely long finish. Good solid fruit. — 11 years ago

Duckhorn Vineyards

Napa Valley Merlot

Dark ruby red, almost black at its center. The nose is bold and alluring with aromas of cherry, prune, vanilla, cinnamon, brand new cedar chest, and the occasional flick of black table pepper right to the back of the nostrils. Medium bodied with solid structure but still smooth and lush. Flavors of blackberries, plums, mint and pencil lead. It finishes with plums, mint, and some big tannin. — 10 years ago

Vietti

Perbacco Langhe Nebbiolo 2011

Bottle 2. Vietti is so solid. Very balanced expression of Nebbiolo, not too tight, light fruit and tar on the palate. Price point at Aldo Sohm is stupid good. — 11 years ago
