There is a bit of caramel, licorice and cherry with some rose petal scent on this nose. A wide spectrum of scents and feelings to associate it with. The palate is really easy going with a good acid drive, rather straight forward, some matter, some grip on the sides, a spherical mid palate and tannins which tend to expand it and make it wider before a finish with red fruit notes and a fresh after taste that last for a while. Second attempt with this wine in this vintage and it clearly leads me to dig dipper into bardolinos. — 5 years ago

I’ve had the hardest time remembering my new zip code even despite having written it a thousand times in the last few weeks... maybe I’m still dreaming... anyway...

It was still 90° at 7:30 so I went in search of Sauvignon Blanc. Sunshine Foods is the local grocery and has exactly the surprisingly very good selection that should be expected from a specialty local grocer in the heart of Napa Valley. I’m not going to lie, I bought this wine so that I would finally learn my zip code (even if I did let somebody ahead of me at checkout so I could finish researching it).

The winemaker is Sam Baxter of Terra Valentine and it’s sourced from the San Mateo Ranch Vineyard in Rutherford. At $19 that was good enough for me. Loaded with ripe pear and fresh, almost underripe melon, lime zest, and stony minerality, with just a tinge of honeysuckle that softens the corners. The acid is relatively toned down but still present enough to satisfy most purists. — 7 years ago

Saw the other note about Big Top— this bottle also from Big Top some years ago for $6. It started out rough, but after 30-40 minutes it’s pretty darn amazing. — 4 years ago

Noh! Vinho excelente! Me lembrou muito um bordeaux. Tanino forte, um gosto bem fechadinho com um pouco de terra. Achei pouco frutado. — 6 years ago

Sehr polarisierend, am Anfang enormer Stall, dann mächtig Alkohol der einige Tage Beruhigung verlangt, dann enorm dicht, sein Potential andeutend und die Erkenntnis ihn nochmal 10 Jahre wegzulegen — 7 years ago

Os vinhos italianos precisam sempre de um esforço a mais pra provarem seu valor a mim. E esse o fez.

90% Sangiovese e 10% Canaiolo, uva que não conhecia, me convenceram com seu frutado profundo e sabor redondo. — 8 years ago
