Very aromatic and floral on the nose which shows off pretty, dusty soil, and steeped dry herbs aromas framing a core of bright sour cherry sour raspberry fruit. On entry this is bright, brambly and aromatic with huge Zin berry fruit. It’s a bit young ...

Opening this beautiful wine so young borders on infanticide, but even so this is my favorite Bella Zin to date. Despite the usual firmness and structure found in young Bella wines, this one provides plenty of deep, musky, earthy Zinfandel fruit that su...

Lots of oak here with deep, oily notes of cloves joined by dried herb tones and a fennel top note. This is lovely in the mouth, very transparent with a red raspberry core that shows attractive purity picking up earth-driven spice accents on the mid-pal...

A delicious Zin, made from two old Alexander Valley Vineyards (Big River Ranch and Todd Brothers Ranch), that has softened and broadened nicely in the last year or two. Deep, complex nose shows dark berry and almost port-like plum/prune fruit, along wi...

This has a lovely smokiness on the nose with some blackberry pie wafting through...gorgeous palette which is smooth and just the right amount of spicy. Incredible svelte finish!

Subdued on the nose though what is here is very clean and very fresh. Forest floor accented aromas of wild berry jam, coconut and something both minty and lightly mushroomy. Plump on entry and a touch angular even, this is full-bodied and rich with fin...

Varietal: Petite Sirah , Primitivo
Type: Table Wines

Gregory Dal Piaz

A big, chocolatey, licorice-covered nose of spice black fruit greets the nose. Smooth on entry and rich but not overly weighty, with a slightly inky feel and some density due to the packed but polished tannins. The fruit is nicely presented, broad if a...

Gregory Dal Piaz

Tight on the nose with slow to unfold aromas of chocolate, balsamic, sweet, fresh, blackberry and lovely slightly jammy black cherry fruit. Lush, juicy and dark on entry, this picks up a creamy tone on the midpalate followed by raspberry, dried berry ...

    If your starting point is Bella Sera, or Cavit, or Bolla, in fairness you'd have to compare these to Woodbridge or Barefoot other varietals (i.e. they all suck).If you seek premium high quality in other wines, then it's only fair to do the same w/ PG... Read More

    One of our charming new posters, cysurvivor, was fishing for recommendations here for a visit over MLK weekend.  Since we're all pretty free with our half-baked ideas and opinions, we had plenty of ideas for him, didn't we?  Since Mauritson kept showing up on the list, it looked like it would make the final cut, so I went on private messaging an...
