| Winery: | Petra |
| Location: | San Lorenzo Alto – Suvereto – LI -Italy |
| Wine : | 2003 Quercegobbe Merlot, Toscana |
| Appellation : | Toscana (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) |
| Price : | ~$38 |
| Color : | Dried-Cherry Red/Black |
| Nose: | Pipe tobacco, polished antique wood, dried rose hips, plum |
| Palate / Balance / Flavors: | Unmistakable aged cigar wrapper, coating tannins, deep black fruit that is evanescent – moving toward the spice box / cigar notes quickly. Vinous in a way that California often is not – fruit is secondary, this wine makes clear that it is, first, wine. |
| Style: | Not overdone, not over-oaked, not overripe. Clean and professionally made. Balanced at a big, but agile build. Feels to me like a wine with plenty of time to age well. |
| Analysis: | 13.97% alc, 3.57 pH, 5.1 g/l TA, 0.6 VA, 0.00 ML, 0.24 RS |
| Comments: | Had to include a photo of our swank new tasting room, complete with an integrated basin in the middle of the table. All part of our new offices, which we just moved into this very week. |
