Probably tastes like you are drinking from a mug hollowed out from a brick.
Would bang, but would not pay.

No! The fruit was fresh, I swear. I hate cooked fruit aromas in wine, HATE them. This was fresh fruit, really, very little oxidation, look at the color, also graphite/rubber. Remember, back then cork was harvested when trees were mature enough.

Yeah I’ve heard of it, but it’s pricey if you use them regularly. Curious if it works?Headaches from drinking wine? Saw this today:

It's sad but some of the best wine producing land on the planet earth right now is being used for Cannabis. That's where the money is.
Curious about the aglianico, it's one of my favorite red Italian grapes. Bottle says California appellation. Do you know where the fruit was sourced? Winemaking? Oak? Size, origin, how long?

Was given this today and they said to open it on a special occasion. I got home and declared tonight a special occasion. Haven't had any wine in about 2 weeks and this juice is bomb.
I don't know all the details but will ask next time I'm there. It is 14.9% and from Temecula Valley AVA. Very big wine. DVV grows Cab, Cab Franc, and 2 other varietals. The rest they source from Dulzura, Temecula and other places. Their Montepulciano is incredible. Also from Temecula.
Gianni Buonomo in OBSD has an excellent Aglianico and so does Westfall Winery out in Campo.
Good deals from Ribera del Duero. You can find killer ones in the states for $10.
Everything I have tried for Vina Gormaz has been very good for the money.
They make joven, roble, crianza, riserva. The joven sees no oak, the roble 5 months. Both are great.
If I was curious enough I'd bang almost anyone. I don't rely on scores.
Interesting. I tried wines form Temecula once. I was not impressed. I was bartending that night in Los Gatos and a couple came to the bar, I was closing that night. Turns out they made wine in Temecula, so I asked if they had a sample they could leave with me, and they did. The ABV was way too high and I could feel it, it was over 15% and noticeable, of which I am not a fan. I can't recall the winery. Necessary irrigation probably has something to do with it. Do you know if DVV irrigates?
Aglianico can handle high ABV, genetically, but it has to be very skillfully made to be elegant.
