Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

An enticing combination of black currant, black cherry, violet, cedar and cigar box flavors highlight. This wine is an intense, structured red, which needs sometime to resolve the tannins, but shows ample fruit and balance.

Blend: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot, 15% Merlot

    Fresh blackcurrant character as well as minerals, jasmine and some eucalyptus. Full-bodied with grippy tannins and a juicy, driven finish. Drink in 2020.

    Lush and dark, with a well of black currant, blackberry, cedar, spice and graphite flavors. Dense, ripe tannins provide support. This remains fresh and long through the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2019 through 2030.

    Here's a dark and beautifully rich value wine from the coast of Tuscany. The 2015 Bolgheri Rosso Volpolo is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller parts Merlot and Petit Verdot. This is a terrific offering with black fruit, sassy spice and many layers of thick and luscious darkness. All that ripe fruit is nicely walled in by the wine's natural structure. I recommend buying this great value wine by the case, not by the bottle.

One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.

An outstanding wine region made famous by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, who planted Cabernet Sauvignon vines for his own consumption in 1940s on his San Guido estate, and called the resulting wine, Sassicaia. Today the region’s Tuscan reds are based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which can be made as single varietal wines or blends. The local Sangiovese can make up no more than 50% of the blends. Today Sassicaia has its own DOC designation within the Bogheri DOC appellation.
