Donnafugata

Mille e Una Notte Contessa Entellina Nero d'Avola 2022

This youngster just needs patience. Fruit structure it’s all there. The tannins dominate a bit too much however. This will be stunning in the future. — 3 months ago

Louis M. Martini

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

I've had 2013 (CS) from this producer. This one isn't worse. A bitter cherry, some vanilla and a leather and earthy notes. During the drinking I've felt longing for "Palermo" (Orin Swift Cellars), my favorite CS from California. But I've promised my self that I'll wait for it to 2022 (I have "Palermo" from 2017 and I want to see how it has changed). Interesting ... so many thoughts about a different wine than the one currently drunk. :) — 6 years ago

Orin Swift Cellars

Machete Petite Sirah Blend

The label is, as usual, original. It's my fourth wine from Orin Swift Cellars (after "Abstract", "Papillon" and "Palermo"). And it's fantastic.

it is a blend of petite syrah, syrah and grenache. Ink color. The nose is full of fruity aromas: a plum, a blackberry and a blackcurrant and sweet liqueur aromas. Also the palate. But there you can also find a leather and a cocoa. Pleasant acidic finale reduces sweetness and closes this wine.

Orin Swift

Palermo Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

2022. Too much ripe fruit flavors when opened, but after about an hour the flavors balanced out quite a bit (though it never really had a lot of acidity or tannins). Paired well with a salty crusty rib roast. — 6 months ago

Cantine Fina

Kikè Sicilia Sauvignon Blanc Traminer Aromatico

Nice concentrated golden color. In the nose melon, ananas, mango, and tropical fruits. On the palate extremely aromatic with strong taste of ripe melon, peaches, candied fruits. Really nice balanced wine , soft tannins, high acidity and nice minerality. Amazing wine. Bought from Palermo 13,5€ — 4 years ago

Orin Swift

Mercury Head Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Five stars. It's obvious, I think. I love wines from Orin Swift Cellars. And this cabernet sauvignon is one of my favorites. Deep, intense and with feeling. The nose is a vanilla and then: a plum and a sour blackberry. The end: a leather. And there's more, but I can't recognize. Like a secret (out of necessity). :) Mercury Head gives me joy. I have to buy another bottle. It's better than Palermo. — 6 years ago
