    2016 Colori Pecorino

    Becky Sue Epstein
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    A wine with an extra dimension. Made with organic grapes, it starts out feeling almost oxidized, but this is typical of pecorino, whether or not it has been macerated on the skins for a while. This grape has an added dimension of flavor, also suggestive of spirits or fortified wines.

    Blackberry, plum, and green pepper show on the nose. Blackberry shows on the palate as well, with some cassis and green pepper. Red fruit joins on the mid-palate, adding a raspberry zing. It is firm, and slightly angular. The touch of green is very typical for a Maipo Valley Cabernet.

    Castelnau de Suduiraut Sauternes 2006

    This beautifully aged Sauternes shows that one doesn't have to break the bank to get a complex, satisfying drop from the famed Bordeaux region. Botrytis is certainly evident here, with a rich, honeyed flavor that dominates, but is also tempered by earthy notes and balanced acidity on the finish. Viscous
