    1 min read
    It’s rare to be asked to review a fully developed wine these days. So it is a real pleasure to find lovely maturity in this cabernet sauvignon, with its strong elements of ripe, dark red fruit. Because the wine has aged long enough to find its equilibrium, the wine works

    In their shiny silver and rose-colored, metallic bottles, these two Sterling sparkling wines are definitely recommended as table decorations – and the wines are also a pleasure to drink. Crafted with medium mousse, both wines have lovely, appley elements in their aromas and flavors. The sparkling Rosé carries hints of

    Perched in the Northeastern corner of Spain, Cariñena’s vineyards cannot be summarized neatly. This Spanish wine region's terroir comes not only from the soil and climate in which the grapes are grown, but also the rich, incredibly diverse culture and history of the region.

    Even in Tuscany, sometimes you’ll get a great young, fresh wine, and sometimes the older vintages and reserve wines are better. Montecucco is a relatively new denominated region in southern Tuscany which has produced DOC-level wines in its area since 1998. Later, Montecucco Sangiovese was awarded a separate DOCG status,

    The pretense for sending out samples of the 2018 Crios vintage, at least from the PR folks who represent them, is a newly designed label. Funnily enough, I actually liked the old one - it was bold, unique, and always stood out on the shelf. Now that I’ve seen the
