Wine Reviews

This is a reasonably priced rose from Bordeaux made from Merlot grapes.  Very pale pink in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with cherries, slight strawberries and cranberries with a bit of grapefruit.  Light bodied but with a nice texture.  12.5% abv.  Good balance.  On the palate, this is easy drinking on its own and will work nicely with cheese or fried foods/appetizers.  A nice wine to sip on the back patio.  Drink now.  

Also referred to as the Black Label.  It is made from 100% Cortese grape.  Light golden in colo, clear and bright.  The nose is expressive with lemons, and a floral note and a bit of minerality.  Medium bodied.  Nice texture.  Great backbone of acidity.  On the palate, the lemons and  minerals come thru along with a slight almond note especially on the finish.  While this can be drunk on its own, it works better with acidity.  It worked well with a plate of pasta and mushrooms in an Aioli sauce.  Drink over the next couple of years.  

Made from 100% Glera grapes. Silvery green in color, clear and bright.  Small to medium bubbles make up a thick mousse.  The nose is very nice with "sea air", green apples and slight floral note.  Medium bodied.  Medium acidity.  Nice balance.  On the palate, minerals, ginger and slight lemon with just a hint of sweetness.  Nice finish.  This drinks easy on its own but should work well with most foods. It worked nicely with Bruschetta and Olive Tapenade.  Drink now.
