  October 12, 2012 - This is a big bruiser of a Ripasso that almost reminds more of Amarone than Ripasso. Dark, thick, unctuous, and slightly sweet, this wine shows tons of dried fruit, spice cake, earth and a hint of salinity. Strong entry, mid-palate, and explosive finish. I really loved this on many levels, but I am still slightly puzzled by the Amarone style of this Ripasso. This is almost a baby-Amarone for less than $20 locally here in Austin. The only tricky thing with this wine is the food pairing. Because it is more Amarone-like, I think certain foods like game, rich cheeses and roasted meat will be required for this to show well with dinner. Definitely Recommended.
