Although the area is blessed with a ridiculous amount of hours of sunshine, Cabernet Sauvignon is perhaps not one that springs to mind when the varieties we envisage the South Tyrol because Cabernet Sauvignon loves heat to ripen here full time. However, it is exceptional management of vines here, as well as a comprehensive analysis of grapes which produced cool climate without "green" Cabernet.

The vineyards are South of Romigberg Lageder packages, how many kilometers south of Bolzano, North of the town of Termeno.

In 2007 Beaujolais

In 2007 Beaujolais

Now for something completely different. taste Beaujolais 2007 cancel, Morgon in front of my good friend with Fleurie and blogger wine, wine Sleuth.

 

An excellent way to finish off this final blog November as we run our Italian wine from your life away, only to focus on Beaujolais. moment a few days ago, I had two Beaujolais wines from the famous British wine company very Bruce Berry, RAD, and decided to do a blog of Beaujolais that never really covered here.

A quick round up, therefore, those who know the Beaujolais region.

Beaujolais is the southernmost region of Burgundy wine within the existing denominations. Beaujolais, Beaujolais cru 10 villages, Beaujolais, Beaujolais Superieur. Generally agreed that the best examples of Beaujolais cru regions arrive 10 each cru provides their own unique take on the Gamay (a grape which Beaujolais).

????????????? Beaujolais wines usually old fresh flavor can be set to light red wines, in most cases with a profile of the cherry fruit over riding. However each cru wines impart their own unique features 10 on wine, as can be seen in VT; for example, Morgon, while just down the road is also presenting Fleurie easily by loving myself and wine sleuth!

If you're hankering to log into the Beaujolais do you find that really difficult if not memorise cru 10 provinces as well. Many cru Beaujolais wines are marked "Beaujolais" at all, simply "Morgon" or "Fleurie". Here's a guide to help you ... and me and it's a chick American.

Cote de Brouilly-Beaujolais more concentrated, grapey, rich, beneficial from a while.

Fleurie- the Cru's most famous street following the Fleurie. wines have typically had flowered in aroma, cherry, raspberry, feminine style drinks.

Morgon- cru's second largest, perhaps the most complex and unique Beaujolais.Can fool you with gooseberry flavours that you expect from Beaujolais. terroir here is quite unlike ??????? slate and other market, this affects the wine.To be drunk young, there is no other wine fruitiness of Beaujolais in its youth.

Juliénas- cru consistent structure with a unique and distinctive fruit includes peach, raspberry blackcurrants.According to producer Juliénas can be drunk young or take several years to develop the full potential is.

C. Moulin mechanically- most stable, tannic, full bodied each cru Beaujolais. Moulin wines usually mechanically, the most expensive building tour with age and become their youth are examples of Beaujolais still excellent.

Chénas next-next to Moulin mechanically, wines need at least three years to develop and when they are doing is considered one of the most complex very perfumed Beaujolais wines.

Régnié-light, supple, a wonderful example of Beaujolais and the young.All the latest Beaujolais Crus (incorporated in 1988) can be a little wine Regnie varied style.

Rita Tua Shiraz 2006

Rita Tua Shiraz 2006 
Sorry, I fell unconscious when extended under a heap of tasting notes, but I'm back now, let's say more about it. Instead, let's say a little more about this option, Tua Rita Syrah 2006.

Love affair between myself and the Rita Tua continues, so soft, eschew with Redigaffi sensual I never imagined would be a place in my heart for Rita II.

Tua Rita Syrah 2006, while missing the alter ego of punchy title sister Marlowe, is clearly more extrovert, stylish palate flicks for six and no apology for it. Still it aint.

Tua Rita produces some of the best single varietal wines in Tuscany proving time and again that this region is more varied and Sangiovese. Created in 1984, Rita Tua never courted Sangiovese, 100 m above sea level and rests on clay soil, Cabernet Sauvignon, they right Merleau, like to argue that, while ignoring the typical varieties of grapes local terroir still shone bright mixture in the glass. Maybe a little, but a glass Redigaffi, Syrah or Guisto de Notri, soon to be forgiving, and assertions in the flowery after a bottle you will find yourself completely agree! This bottle of

Tua Rita Syrah 2006 arrived at my door from freezing cold snowy morning March in London South along with the large bottles that will be blogged 11 until this month. I decided to review red charge 12 from 2006, vintage with such mixed reviews, I thought it would be fun to compare, contrast areas from all manufacturers are consistently on the game and the wines that rarely miss them. So how did to Tuscany, Rita Tua fair? The well. Very good. So I think I also actually began with the bottle is best, it could all be downhill from here. Drama, suspense ... I haz it.

-Buying-Rita Tua Syrah 2006 € 2 dark and full of hope, 100Deep, if I fall for wine based on looks alone, and then I like, well, if I could, I would have put a ring on it. Aromatically forward, beautiful with generous comments of blackberries, chocolate, vanilla. On the palate, this wine continues his seduction of chocolate and fruit with hit single that guide full of fruit jammy. Large wine, wine is still part of ??????? balanced perfectly.The winner.Points 98

Islington sample

 Islington sample is unlike any wine shop on the island of this exhibition. "not because it makes the most exclusive range (although it does), and because it has a very special offers (that too), even not because the walls are covered with enomatics (like the walls of the sky).

Islington sample is my favourite wine shop in the world because it allows, and even encourages, wine geeks like myself to spend hours upon hours to sample the great wines, genning on Parker, Jancis and performing, most is the new wine, friends. Forget Corkd and Snooth, if you want your chums IRL then head up wine (or down) and make your way in the world of samples of wine as little p 30 sampler.

Rule 2: If somethings worth doing is worth doing it right. fine wines!

Not often passes your eyes over the 1978 Chateau Cheval Blanc but with 1998 Chateau Mouton Rothschild side of it, you must be careful to give all their properties "icons". At any given time there are six "icons", these included these greats and December two plus JL Chave Hermitage Conterno Barolo, 1998, of the Gran Riserva 1997 Bussia, screaming Eagle 1996 and Penfolds book in 1978.

Del Fiasc Bric not get close to the price of Gaja star prices, Giacosa Barolo, Voerzio et al.

Top manufacturers of wine vintage heralded is still in relative terms, QPR, hotshot. What is the point of 96 WA Barolo 2004 is still there for under € 60 a bottle?

Why is this so special wine? s cru Barolo wine was produced for the first time in 1978 when the son of Paolo ??????? convinced him that the grapes that particular area should be vinified separately as they are some of the best wine to be sold under its own label cru wine has grown since ??????.

However, it was, as always, the integration of the grape, vinification vintage vintage of 2004 brought to new heights; this combination also produce a wonderful effect placed with age although not stayed seemed like this already killed a bottle.
