 Tasted by Mootsie on 1/28/2021 & rated 93 points: Drinking really well right now. (726 views)
 Tasted by Mootsie on 10/12/2019 & rated 93 points: I agree with the earlier note. Great combination of the ‘12 and the ‘13. Best vintage yet. (1141 views)
 Tasted by adnorthup on 3/23/2019 & rated 91 points: In a really good place. Drank well with linguine with seafood diavolo. Classic dark aglianico up front but a decent bit of fruit peaking out when hitting the garlic from the food. (1075 views)
 Tasted by EMTAME on 9/11/2018 & rated 92 points: Having had the ‘12, ‘13, and ‘14 in the last few months, this is my favorite of the trio. Nice mid-weight red with less sweetness than the ‘13 and more freshness than the ‘12. Terrific with food. I’ll be buying a few more. (1264 views)

Aglianico

Varietal character (Appellation America)

The Southern Italy Outpost (on the CellartTracker Forum)

Originally from Greece and an early Roman favorite, Aglianico was planted as early as the seventh century B.C. Infused with interesting aromas of plums, raisins and licorice. Dried floral notes flow easily into the medium to full-bodied palate of black pepper, smooth, subtle cherry, and plum flavors.. A stylish, intriguing young red, with fine tannins and a ripe balanced finish.

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.

California

2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson
