Delicate fragrance, tastes like peach melba with a few drops of rose water. Dry and refreshing, silky texture. |

Unmistakeably Tuscan, the 10% Cabernet does not detract from or disguise this wine in any way. To me the Cabernet was only perceptible on the finish, adding a dry, tannic breadth that was welcome. Typical funky scents of saddle leather, earth after rain, and bright red fruit on the nose; reserved, classic Sangiovese flavours combined with firm structure. Promising and delicious. |

2004 Burge Family - Shiraz Draycott Vineyard
Australia - South Australia - Barossa Valley 2004 Burge Family - Shiraz Draycott Vineyard

Medium to long finish. Interesting nose and very different taste. Not sweet but not bitter either. The notes say this has a nose of smoke, but it smelled a bit like eucalyptus to me. 1 of 1 people found this useful |

cola, berries, long lush finish paired with a spicy marinara/ tuna - worked well although more as a similar taste vs complementary |

2006 Eric Kent - Pinot Noir Stiling Vineyard
USA - California - Sonoma - Russian River Valley 2006 Eric Kent - Pinot Noir Stiling Vineyard
|
Crimson in color. Opens quickly to a nose of muted clove/ cinnamon and chocolate lusciousness. On the tongue, I got almond and dark berries that morphed slowly into a smooth kona-coffee like while also surprising with a hint of pepper on the sides. Nice long finish - medium body. Wonderful. |

2001 Kongsgaard - Chardonnay
USA - California - Napa - Napa Valley 2001 Kongsgaard - Chardonnay

Nice nose of floral/ citrus. Good acid attack ('clean???), nice balanced build on the tongue, long lasting finish. Crisp, green citrus (faint hints of lime/ orange) and finished with a bit of vanilla oak on the back of the tongue. |

Very smooth, as one would expect. Comparing to the Tokaji, it's a bit cleaner - not as syrupy. More delicate and floral than the Tokaji's citrus nose/ taste. |

2nd Time I've had this wine. What a wonderful producer. Beautiful nose of stewed cherries and good barnyard. Wine is medium to full bodied, with lovely sweet fine grained tannins. Evolved in the glass over a 2 hour dinner. Glad I have 2 more. |

Sweet, fruity, with hints of apple and peach. I enjoyed this wine with fish, broccoli, and rice. An excellent pairing. 1 of 1 people found this useful |

LOVE this wine. I am not a fan of overly tannic wines, so many Merlots and Cabernet Sauvignons scare me. A touch of plum and black tea give it some depth, without making it too overpowering. I found this Merlot to be very smooth and rich and absolutely lovely, nicely balanced. This Merlot will definitely be making a repeat appearance in my cellar. Visit my website: la diva gourmet |
