Va Piano Vineyards

Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec.

22 months in 50% new French Oak. 14.5% ABV.

OB94, WE93.

This tastes more like a Left Bank Bordeaux than a straight Cab. It is thoroughly enjoyable with buoyant fruit, lively acids and rich oak.

BlackBerry, cherry, cloves, black tea, heaping of spices, rich integrated oak.

Equal parts fun and serious. Good Walla Walla red wine.

Baden Spätburgunder Rosé 2018

Tart cherry, hibiscus, spring foliage. Sediment has fallen out nicely. Some rose coming on. Almost brilliant but lots of va. A little bit acetic. — 4 years ago

Love this wine. But the more than intermittent parcels with affected with VA make me wary.

@Jae Cho definitely. As far as flaws that can be interesting in moderation I’m fine with some VA but in this case it’s overkill. Other bottles I’ve had of the same wine haven’t been the same.

Paolo Bea

Rosso de Véo Umbria Rosso Sagrantino 2018

Paolo Bea dinner at Semo. All wines were prepared by opening and slow-ox, prior to service. Abbreviated notes due to the setting. The 2018 Rosso de Véo pours a deep garnet with wild dark fruit, high end dark dark chocolate cherry cordial, some VA giving it some balsamic notes. Sanguine with high tannin. Loving it with the pork ragu lasagnette made with semolina flour from the Bea farm. Drink now with patience, through 2038. Bottle No. 77/4626 — 3 months ago
