Opus One 2021 California...
The winter of 2017 ended a five-year drought with January recording the most rainfall in over 20 years. The abundant rainfall continued into March, causing a modest<br />delay in budbreak, and pushing bloom back by two weeks. Increased soil moisture allowed for healthy vine growth and development. The summer, in turn, was warm and<br />punctuated by occasional heat waves. Despite Mother Nature's variability, favorable weather in August provided optimal conditions for fruit development and maturation.<br />Superb flavors and excellent ripening led to an earlier than expected harvest, which commenced on the 5th of September.<br /><br />The Opus One 2017 offers a harmonious aromatic balance of rich dark fruit, stems of roses, and earthy forest floor. The juicy entry offers a round, silky mouthfeel with just<br />enough acidity to complement the satin texture. This seductive wine shows flavors of black cassis, black cherry and a hint of cocoa powder. The fine-grained, plush tannins<br />evolve into a long, supple finish. A supremely age-worthy wine, it will delight now and for many years to come.<br /><br />Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon 80%, Petit Verdot 9%, Cabernet Franc 5%, Merlot 5% and Malbec 1%<br /><br />Skin Contact: 20 days<br /><br />Barrel Aging: 17 months in new French oak<br />

Magnum Blauburgunder St....
<br />South Tyrol DOC<br />Pinot Noir Riserva<br />Sanct Valentin<br /><br />Pinot Noir has been cultivated in South Tyrol since 1850 and is also known in many places as Pinot Noir. It is the winery's most important red wine. This grape variety is a<br />very special challenge for the winemaker, as it is very demanding in terms of soil and climate, and must also be processed with special care in the cellar. For the Pinot Noir<br />Sanct Valentin, which has been part of the prestige line since 1995, only grapes from the best vineyards and oldest vines are used. Extremely low yields and the greatest<br />care produce an elegant and highly sensual wine, characterised by structure, balance and fine tannins.<br /><br />Eye: ruby red<br />Nose: small red berries, strawberry, violet, smoky notes, cinnamon.<br />Taste: spicy, smooth, elegant and seductive<br />Variety description: Pinot noir<br />Growing site: older vineyards in St. Michael-Eppan and surroundings (400-550 m)<br />Exposure: south-southeast to south-southwest<br />Soils: moraine rubble and limestone gravel soils<br />Method of cultivation: Guyot <br />Vine age: 8 to 26 years<br />Harvest: mid-September; harvest and grape selection by hand.<br />Vinification: Cold maceration (three days) followed by fermentation and soft pressing.

Ripassa Valp. DOC 2020...
Ripassa Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Superiore<br /><br /><br />Immediately after the fermentation of the Amarone raisins, the best selection of Valpolicella 'ripassa' on the Amarone marc, starting the second short fermentation; in this<br />way the alcohol content increases and a product richer in colour, extracts and aromas is obtained.<br /><br />After ageing in French oak tonneaux for 18/20 months, it is then left to rest in the bottle for 6 months.<br /><br />The result of this process is a refined and concentrated wine, extremely soft and velvety, with intense aromas of small red fruits.<br /><br />Ripassa offers fruity scents and fine tannins on the palate, with an aura of chocolate and spices. It represents one of the most significant wines in Zenato's oenological<br />evolution.<br /><br />Grape varieties: 85% Corvina Veronese, 10% Rondinella, 5% Corvinone.<br />Geographical location and characteristics of the vineyard: hilly area of Valpolicella, south-eastern and south-western exposure.<br />Average altitude of the land: 250-300 metres above sea level.<br />Soil type: predominantly cretaceous, calcareous<br />Training system and planting density: guyot, with about 5,000 vines per hectare.<br />Average age of vines: 10/15 years old<br />Number of buds: 8/10 per plant<br />Yield per hectare: 100 quintals<br />Harvest time and method: first and second ten days of October. Manual harvesting.<br />Vinification: The grapes are destemmed and macerated in stainless steel fermenters for 10-12 days. After alcoholic fermentation, the new wine is separated from the skins<br />by means of a soft press and stored in steel tanks until January, when the dried grapes are pressed to produce Amarone. At this point, the Valpolicella is 'repassed' on the<br />Amarone marc with a 7-8 day period at a temperature of 25-28°C. This is followed by 18 months of refinement in tonneaux and a few months of bottle ageing in<br />temperature-controlled environments.<br />Colour: deep ruby red.<br />Bouquet: intense, fine and persistent, with hints of black cherry and plum.<br />Taste: harmonious and velvety, with good structure.<br />Serving temperature: 18°C<br />Food pairings: an excellent companion to game dishes, grilled meats and roasts, cured meats and mature cheeses.<br />
