2/25/10: Lemon lime flavors. Very dry. Extremely fun, and at a great price. 86-87

Richer style of PG. Medium bodied, and I would like a little bit more acidity. But nice enough.

Wow, what brightness. Lots of sour cherries. Raspberries. Very high acidity. Nervy stuff, and not for everyone, but this is great if you're looking for a bright, high acid red. Doesn't really remind me at all of a Valopellicalla, despite the same grapes.

3/12/10: Sweet clove thing going on in the nose. Lots of spices with rich fruit. Very ripe. A little tart thing going on. Very unique. 87
2/25/10: Funky nose. On the palate, it is soft and delicious, with a black licorice note. Great stuff. 88+

Not sure what to make of this. A little funky, with a salty, saline thing going on. Hmmm...

Traditional BdM. Lots of sour cherry. Great tannins. This screams of place. Really nice stuff, but the tariff is a bit much in RI. ($90)

Very traditionally styled. Quite tannic. This is great stuff, but you need to forget about this for awhile before drinking. 90-92
