Extremely lively, to the point of being spritzy. The nose is full of citrus and a hint of anise, while the palate, while not particularly complex, is zesty and deals active melon and mineral flavors. A likable wine, one from a single vineyard.

The millennial vintage of Campora (Cabernet Sauvignon) is understated in an elegant way and doles out measured aromas of dried fruit, prune, strawberry tart and spice. It’s a lighter style, making it suited for white meat or pasta dishes.

Aromas of mature fruit, blackberry, leather, cigar, molasses and stewy herbal greens. The wine is lean and slightly sour in the mouth yet its ripe fruit aromas leave a lasting impression in the mouth. It’s a wine with more bark than bite.

It’s great fun to revisit the stellar 1997 vintage and see that this Tuscan Cabernet has evolved so gracefully over the years. Aromas include white mineral, ash, licorice, dried flowers and measured tones of red cherry fruit. It makes for a delicate ensemble that is lean and a bit thorny in the mouth but still very satisfying.

Lovely aged nuances emerge from the nose of this elegant Cabernet and recall tomato leaf, chopped herbs, tar, resin, licorice, forest floor and earthy-mineral notes. The wine maintains a chewy, firm structure with dusty tannins and pretty menthol notes on the finish.

Gold in color, with unusual aromas of spiced ham and sawdust. The wine contains 10% Chardonnay, likely barrel-aged based on the strength of the wine’s wood aromas and resinous aftertaste. Other flavors of maderized apple and banana are acceptable but strange for the variety.

Definitely on the ripe side, this aged Cabernet offers aromas of green pepper, chocolate, vanilla bean and black cherry. It delivers a pretty, modern approach and a nice, gritty texture in the mouth.

This Sangiovese seems older than it is because of the hard candy, mineral and brambly notes that offset its aromas of dark chocolate and sweet spice. A tiny hint of apple cider gives the wine piquancy and bite but otherwise it remains a deep, full wine with no overtly sharp edges.

Here’s a Cab with aromas of beef broth, cigar box and spice. It’s distinctive nose is framed delicately by dusty mineral tones and black licorice, while the mouthfeel is fresh and vibrant.
