Anne-Marie’s birthday with her besty, Magnolia. Having a great time in Aruba. We are very partial to Ruinart with any label. This one is honied, toasty and fresh. Soft mousse, reminding me of the Krug that Shawn pulled last week. Loving life with my wifey - we are blessed 😍

The Fossati MGA is bifurcated administratively with the commune of Barolo (to the south) and La Morra (to the north). Cesare Bussolo’s holdings are in the latter. In fact, his vines run like a thin ribbon right through the middle of one of Roberto Voerzio’s plots.
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 2020 pours a very pretty garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with soaring notes of ripe red fruit: Morello cherry, raspberry, strawberries, roses, curaçao, licorice, talcum powder, a touch of tar, some dried herbs, dry earth and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and savory. This is a beautiful wine and I was really grateful to share one of my bottles with a good friend at Via Farina’s new location at Regency Landing. Drink now with patience and through 2060.
I would like to add that I have only become aware of Cesare Bussolo’s work over the last few years and believe it or not, it was his 2018 Fossati (from a tricky vintage no less) that caught my attention. He is quickly becoming one of my favorite producers in La Morra. He makes a very small amount of wine (relatively speaking) but I have really enjoyed the process of not only discovering Cesare’s wines (his Barbera’s are not to be overlooked!) but also sharing them with friends. Thanks @Lyle Fass for the assist! — 2 months ago

Birthday girl, Magnolia. Great celebration with close friends today. Kistler helped us push the boat out. Notes of caramel and honey which flow through to the palate. Acid is completely integrated. Drink now.
Many happy returns to our besty, Mags! 😍
