Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dark, with black cherry and smoke aromas, this deeply flavored wine is sweetly fruity, with ultrasoft tannins. Some overripe notes of raisins and chocolate don’t disturb the pretty balance. A Super Tuscan blend of Sangiovese with smaller amounts of Bordeaux varieties.

Another super-Tuscan blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this darkly tinted wine opens with black cherry and smoke aromas, and turns silky and plush on the palate. The solid structure is locked into place with dry tannins. —S.H.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Try this as a dry alternative to Chardonnay next time you want a clean, fruity white wine. The citrus flavors are long on tart acidity, but there’s a creaminess that makes it very enjoyable. From Mount Palomar Winery. —S.H.

Castelletto Cortese - 2000

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This very nice wine startles the palate with a peppery assault, then calms down and spreads tart red cherry flavors over the tongue. Dusty tannins show up in the aftertaste. This is pretty good stuff, and it would be interesting to try it with rich Italian cuisine.
