Tuscany Steakhouse
Tasted Wednesday, February 26, 2020 by SMHalps with 157 views
A Steak and Syrah tasting with my wine group at a NYC Italian Steakhouse. All the wines were opened, for at least 30 minutes and up to 90 minutes before pouring, depending on where in the sequence a wine was poured.
We had in order...the lone white of the evening, "2016 Castello della Sala Cervaro, followed by, 2007 Martinelli Gravel Lens Hop Camp, 2004 Clarendon Hills Moritz, 2009 Deumani Suisassi, 2012 Domaine Terlato & Chapoutier L Block, 2015 Paul Jaboulet Aine Les Grandes Terrasses, 2015 The Farm Winery Red Zone, and the 2015 Myriad Sangiacomo. The Farm and the Paul Jaboulet were the only ones decanted.
This was a lot of fun. The group WOTN was the Jaboulet, followed by the Farm Red Zone. Was it a cooincedence that the favorites were the only 2 decanted? I'm not sure. All the wines were greatly enjoyed, with the exception of the Clarendon Hills. And they all went very well with the steaks!
2016 Castello della Sala (Antinori) Umbria Cervaro della Sala 93 Points
Italy, Umbria
A big hit with my wine group. Most called it a Chardonnay right away, without reading the supplied tasting notes (or looking at the bottle). We have had a few bottles of this vintage and its always a hit.
