  February 21, 2022 - Retail $22. 75% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay. Oh so many years ago I was on a press trip to Mezzacorona, the parent company to Rotari, for a mere three days and completely fell in love with the cooperative: the region, the people, the wines. Sure, it is a mega-producer and the wines are close to ubiquitous, but they are also well-made and fantastically good bargains. Case in point. I saw this on the shelf of my local Spec's and had to jump in but I wondered almost immediately how long it had been there, I mean 2013? Pale orange in the glass indicates its age (the bottle seems to indicate a disgorgement in 2017). The nose is lacking a bit in fruit, but there is minerality and a bit of salinity. The palate is certainly fruitier, with a dominant red berry, a chalky aspect, good tartness, and an above average finish. Look, this is not a champagne substitute, but it is pretty darned good and for half the price of its French brethren? Pretty darned solid.

  January 3, 2022 - 9 years old and still going! Explosive pop upon opening. Lots of foam and bubbles. Orange-peach hue. Peaches on the nose. Strawberries give way to lemon zest and tangerines. Cheers! Here's to another glass!
