    What We’re Drinking – Pieropan Soave Classico

    The color is a very pale straw. Peaches, lemon, and citrus blossoms are on the nose. The palate blasts fresh peach, with lemon and flint on the mid-palate. Acid is well-tamed, offering a round mouth-feel. Pair with oysters. Highly Recommended. 90 points. DBH WHO: Pieropan WHAT: Garganega, Trebbiano DESIGNATION: Soave Classico

    Apples and lemon chiffon rise on the nose. Pears come through on the palate, with honeysuckle and lime zest. A strong backbone of acidity stiffens and gives structure to this fruit-forward white. Drink with pork chops. Recommended. 88 points. DBH WHO: Talbott WHAT: Chardonnay WHEN: 2015 DESIGNATION: Kali Hart WHERE:

    Boysenberry and blackberry are joined by brambles on the nose. On the palate, huge fruit is joined by pencil lead unsweetened and milk chocolate, and hints of espresso. Mouth-feel is huge and round, tannins are dusty. Drink with a bone-in Strip. Highly Recommended. 93 points. DBH WHO: Silverado Vineyards WHAT: Cabernet

    Black fruit and vanilla come through on the nose. The palate offers up black currant, vanilla, and hints of brown sugar. Tannins are fine and dusty. This is a pleasant quaff that would pair beautifully with a blue cheese burger. Recommended. 87 points. DBH WHO: Rodney Strong WHAT: Cabernet Sauvignon WHEN: 2013

    Big red fruits come flying out of the glass on the nose. Black cherries, raspberry, and brambles fill the palate, and hints of coffee show on the mid-palate. Fruit lingers on the finish. This is a big mouthful of wine that calls for a big mouthful of steak to go

    Sweet cherry and strawberry, red licorice, and rose petals all come through on the nose. A whole fruit bowl of red berries roll across the palate, from sweet strawberry to tart raspberries. Freshly-turned earth, red licorice, hints of vanilla, and even a closing touch of saline, all add to the

    Bing cherry and sweet strawberry, with hints of leafy herbs, come through on the nose. On the palate, rich red fruit flavors, primarily raspberry and cherry, lead, followed by cinnamon, and a touch of birch. Food friendly and fruit forward, with a lovely mouth-feel, this is a very pretty glass

    Really terrific blackberry and blueberry flavors waft up on the nose. Rich blackberry and boysenberry are joined by just enough tart raspberry to give a backbone. Hint of cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper roll through the mid-palate. This a delightful and complex wine, fruit forward and spice back. Pair it
