Wines At Our Table; Week of October 4th, 2015

Tasted September 28, 2015 - October 4, 2015 by Martin Redmond with 257 views

Flight 1 (1 note)

Red
2010 Sandlands Syrah Amador County USA, California, Sierra Foothills, Amador County
88 points
Inky violet color with kirsch, red currant, white pepper and a hint of olive tapenade aromas. On the palate it's light bodied and fresh with mouth drying tannins that soften a bit with air. It shows cherry, red currant flavors wit a bit of stony minerality. Lingering finish. I think it needs food (not a bad thing)

Flight 2 (1 note)

Red
2010 Antonelli San Marco Umbria Contrario Italy, Umbria
88 points
Translucent violet color with a very appealing mixed dark berry, plum, tar, aromatic dried herb and a hint of eucalyptus aromas. On the palate, medium-bodied, very persistent, focused and very fresh with blackberry, black cherry, plum and firm, well integrated tannins with a long sweet finish. 14% alcohol.

Flight 3 (1 note)

Rosé - Sparkling
2012 Under The Wire Sparkling Rosé Bedrock Vineyard USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast
90 points
Pretty coral pink color with active tiny bubbles. On the nose it shows very appealing fresh bread dough, strawberry, red currant, creamy citrus and a bit of chalk aromas. On the palate, the mousse starts about a bit aggressive on the attack, but dissolves into an appealing strawberry creme fraiche like texture, with a hint of tannins. It's fresh with strawberry, red currant, creamy citrus, and mineral flavors, and a lingering finish. Different and very enjoyable. Wish I had more
