2022 Margins California Neutral Oak Hotel
4/21/2024 - caesar77 Likes this wine: 92 Points
PnP. Purple with fallow pink edge in color. Nose of raspberries, sous bois, baking spices and subtle barnyard funk. On the palate: bright raspberries, cherries and blueberry notes with subtle five-spice powder. Fine tannins are barely percieved on gums but there is a carbonic umami that refreshes the palate. Wine is light to medium in weight and is linear across the palate. Reminiscent of young Burgundy. Long finish of mixed berries.

2019 Antiche Terre Venete Amarone della Valpolicella

PnP. Ruby with dark red-brick edge in color. Nose of dark cherries, newly tanned leather, allspice and licorice. On the palate: rich cherries, saddle leather and wood spice. Dusty tannins were unobtrusive, lightly perceived on gums. Long finish of cherries and wood spice. Somewhat one-dimensional, but very enjoyable and good QPR as far as Amarone goes.

2017 Rio Maggio Rosso Piceno Vigneto Contrada Vallone

PnP. Garnet with dark pink edge in color. Nose of Luden's wild cherry lozenges, vanilla, black licorice and super subtle nose of mint. On the palate, maraschino cherries dominate with notes of black cherries, blueberries, vanilla and rose water. Dusty tannins are perceived on gums, cheeks and tongue. Long finish of cherries, cinnamon and wood spice. Carries a lot of fruit and manages to avoid being perceived as sweet...if the QPR was a bit better (maybe sub $20), it would be a great daily drinker.
