Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For July 3, 20172 min read

Posted on July 3, 2017 by 1WineDude

in wine mini-reviews

So, like, what is this stuff, anyway?
I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than most people). So each week, I share some of my wine reviews (mostly from samples) and tasting notes with you via twitter (limited to 140 characters). They are meant to be quirky, fun, and easily-digestible reviews of currently available wines. Below is a wrap-up of those twitter wine reviews from the past week (click here for the skinny on how to read them), along with links to help you find these wines, so that you can try them for yourself. Cheers!

  • 16 Marco Porello Camestri (Roero Arneis): Delicious, mineral, and damned if it won't be demanding some of your attention RIGHT NOW. $15 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 13 I Sodi Chianti Classico Riserva (Tuscany): Pretty much all the classic Chianti elements, just packaged in modern-looking wrapping. $NA B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 15 Cantele Primitivo (Salento): It's simply impossible not to like something this juicy, this herbal, & this willing to over-achieve. $14 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 15 Calitro Primitivo di Manduria Ausilio (Salento): If authenticity is your benchmark, then there's an open seat for U on this bench. $NA B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 13 Frank Family Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley): Blackberry truffles, with the gritty cocoa dust sprinkled all over them $53 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 15 Siduri Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands): Nothing shy about the friendly personage that this is fronting. $35 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • NV Ferrari Brut Rose (Trento): Strawberries with almond shields, and steely, bright, elegant electric armor, all ready for battle. $33 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 14 Kim Crawford Small Parcels Wild Grace Chardonnay (Hawke's Bay): Fresh fruit that's bigger than its heavy, rich adornments. $30 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 15 Luca Ferraris Opera Prima (Ruche di Castagnole Monferrato): Fresh, focused, extracted, & potently powerful. Dark cherries FTW! $35 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 13 Cutruzzola Vineyards Gloria Pinot Noir (San Luis Obispo County): She is powerful, spicy, and dark; think meat, people, think meat! $42 A- >>find this wine<<
