Valle Della Stelle Cabernet Sauvignon

Dark jammy fruit and spice that is expected from a cab but also super floral and perfume-y. Def drink with food. It can stand up to a bold dish. I ate this with a pasta and bison meatball dish and it brought about a juicy lightly sweet floral experience to my meal. — 10 years ago

Rocca di Castagnoli

Vinsanto del Chianti Classico Trebbiano-Malvasia Blend 2008

Se avessi avuto 1000 stelle le avrei usate tutte ! in assoluto il miglior vinsanto mai bevuto. un colore ambra bellissimo, profumo intenso incredibile, limpido, trasparente e brillante. una bocca dove freschezza e morbidezza sono perfettamente equilibrate. l'entrata è una carezza morbida e l'uscita e di una pulizia unica con una persistenza lunghissima. miele vaniglia nocciole....sono pochi i vini dolci a questo livello ! — 10 years ago

Cascina delle Rose

Rio Sordo Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2011

I've been hesitant to open this because the Tre Stelle was so challenging and this is supposedly the more structured of the two, but I shouldn't have been, as this is a wonderful and phenomenally easy-to-drink wine, about as friendly as young nebbiolo ever gets. If it is indeed more tannic than the Tre Stelle, that is only the case on paper as the structure is smoothed over by rich, very polished fruit that still has the gloss of youthfulness but whose flavors are well past the primary into savory and earthy territory with a sticky grip. It opens with a dazzlingly complex aromatic punch of herbs and a succulent meatiness, which quiets down soon enough but the wine never shuts down. The fruit is in crimson tones, plummy at first and then more towards apple skin hours later as it backs down from that initial generosity, but throughout the bottle it is full and plump, finishing with stony earth. I'm slightly tempted to call it autumnal just on account of the complexion but that doesn't seem to work because there is a very clear sense of freshness here. No leatheriness or other badges of oxidative aging that surface fairly often even in nebbiolos that I *like*: this bottle captured everything in pristine condition, making an exceptionally delicious wine with a robust inner core but a flawless veneer with no rough edges, brimming with generous, richly constituted nebbiolo goodness. — 10 years ago

Bryter Estates

Le Stelle North Coast Brut White Blend 2010

Light, crisp and refreshing, this sparkling wine is great for toasts or with the meal. Citrus, pear and floral aromas . Light body, velvety bubbles and a toastiness that will appeal. Serve alone or with oysters, shell fish and light fare. 53% Pinot; 47% Chardonnay. — 11 years ago
