Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Blend of blend of 60% Carricante, 25% Catarratto, 10% Grecanico and 5% Minnella, aged in French oak for 10 months. Pale lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits adding honeysuckle blossom. On the palate flavors of apple, apricot and lemon citrus with creamy vanilla wrapped in generous acidity, long finish ending with wet stone minerality. Nice! — 4 months ago

9.1

Medium ruby with quite narrow terracotta , garnet rim. Cut herbs , raspberry, dried red cherry , dried rose , slightly smoky note and a basalt , stony hint. On the palate quite rounded and ripe with some red focused sweet sous bois , raspberry coulis and dried herbs , anis , dried herbs . Alcohol does stick out a bit with medium quite rounded sweet tannin , with just balanced acidity . Reasonable anis , black tea and dried herb finish . This is at the end of its drinking window but still showing quite well . Drink now , and I would recommend serving at a relatively cool temperature — 9 months ago

2012 in Nov '24....KL grab from Cali days. Wild spice, herbal aromatics. 15%alc was well behaved. Rdl burg stem but the AP gave it more mid palate weight. Lovely. Btl 1 on pizza night — 6 months ago

Splendid earthy aroma, bit dried herbals, tarragon and sage on the nose. Juicy and delicious acidity on the mid-range palate.
Goes wonderfully with red sauce pasta and obviously pizza. A solid crowd pleaser! — 7 months ago

Nice soft mousse body, yellow peach, tropical melons, pineapple, some lemon meringue, lime zest, slightly bitter apple cider, whipped cream, hard chalkiness, alluvial limestone, saline, sea fossils, bread crust, yeastiness, yellow florals, racey acidity, nicely balanced & structured with a finish that lasts 90 seconds.

Needs a few more years in bottle. — a year ago

The winemaker’s commentary definitely applies here; this has balance, complexity and freshness with the utmost drinkability and versatility. Pairs well with all but the heaviest dishes — 2 years ago

9.4

Labeled as a Rosato but should be deployed as a light red given the abundance of tart red fruit and earthy tones. Gentle and refreshing introduction to the Cornelissen style — 9 months ago

9.4

Made from 50 to 100 year old vines and matured for 18 months in small and large oak vessels, of which 20% are new. Medium-ruby, the 2020 Terre Nerre Calderara Sottana is introduced by a hauntingly fragrant scent of red and black cherries, wild blackberries, Mediterranean herbs and crushed granite rock. The medium to full-bodied palate is marked by a firm tannic structure, nervy tension and wonderful fruit complexity, closing with an elegant, persistent finish. Drink now until 2040. — 2 years ago

We actually quite liked this, but were really confused about why this “dry white wine” came out red 🤷🏼‍♀️ — 5 years ago
