Winery - Bollini
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A gorgeous and opulent nose with honey, vanilla bean, ripe pineapple and yellow roses. The mouth is unusually silky for the variety with baked apple and cinnamon over a medium finish. Imported by Kobrand.

Bollini’s bright, cool-climate Merlot opens with a rich, ruby color and fragrant aromas of cherry, blueberry and wild strawberry. The wine sees six months of light oak aging, adding moderate spice and tobacco. The price is right and the mouthfeel is tonic and tight.

A fuller, richer texture is embellished with mineral, stone fruit, melon and some rubber notes. This is a solid, consistent Grigio with very tasty fruit flavors that could easily accompany a full meal from start to finish. Imported by Kobrand.

Loaded with yellow fruit, dried herbs, almonds and honey. But 2003 was a scorching hot vintage and you can detect a hint of jamminess buried beneath the surface. Imported by Kobrand.

There’s a pretty mineral context here that frames a juicy core of honey, almond and peach. This oak-aged Chardonnay is simple but genuine and would make a good companion to endive salad with blood oranges and black olives.

Fresh, crisp mineral tones greet the nose, followed by floral notes and lush exotic fruit. The mineral tones are almost brackish in their intensity, which underlines this wine’s excellent food pairing potential. Try with stir-fry. Imported by Kobrand.

It’s light, ruby appearance promises a lean, easy Merlot for weeknight dinners, and in fact, the nose delivers blueberry, forest fruit and linear mineral tones. This is not a hugely intense wine, but crisp acidity and a lighter consistency make it a friendly companion to pasta with meat ragù or roast beef.

There’s not a lot of wine behind the mildly buttery, faint peach flavors and aromas. Tastes extremely soft and dilute.

Lots of lime on the nose. Very ripe scents. Mineral and apple flavors, with fine balance and a round, full feel on the palate.

Natural nuttiness and generous tones of baked apple, cinnamon, mature apricot, honey and white peppercorn come together to form a wine with good depth, balance and personality. Indeed, this tastes more expensive than it is and that will please lovers of delicately oaked Chardonnay. Its caressing mouthfeel suggests a pairing with spicy jalapeño cheese gratin or chicken marinated in a mole poblano sauce.
