Spirits Reviews
Stambecco Maraschino Cherry Amaro
Brilliant copper/orange color. The nose is greeted with a medicinal cherry scent accented by notes of brown sugar, orange peel, and almonds. The palate echoes the nose delivering a sweet cherry-driven core with flanking notes of burnt orange, marzipan, dried herbs, and hints of vanilla. Medium-bodied with sweet fruits throughout — it’s more sweet than bitter and the medicinal flavor lingers. This version of an Italian Amaro seems to be more about the package than the liquid. $35 – 3 Stars
Wine Reviews
Bianchi Gran Famiglia Malbec Uco Valley 2018
Brilliant, dark ruby/purple color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of ripe red plum and boysenberry with supporting notes of black cherry, cocoa, and slate. The palate confirms the nose delivering a red and black fruits-driven core with flavors of blackberry, cassis, black tea, and vanilla. The finish is long and lingering with ripe, round tannins. Full-bodied and nicely balanced with a chewy texture. $29.99 – 4 Stars/90 points
Bianchi Particular Malbec San Rafael 2018
Brilliant, dark ruby/purple color. The aromatics are very intense, offering scents of black fruits and black tea with supporting notes of forest floor, five spice, dark chocolate, and cigar box. The palate confirms the nose delivering a black fruit-driven core with flavors of blackberry, cassis, sweet hibiscus flower, and mineral. The finish is long and lingering with supple yet substantial tannins and mature oak accents. Full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a velvety texture. $39.99 – 4.5 Stars/94 points
