Wine in Black

Lorsque le critique œnologique Jay S. Miller a dégusté le millésime 2007 du vin rouge 'Selectus' en 2011 pour le compte du guide Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, il a indiqué que quelques années supplémentaires en cave feraient le plus grand bien à cette cuvée. C’est désormais chose faite et le temps a joué en sa faveur. Le 'Selectus' est maintenant doté d’une maturité parfaite et est prêt à se mettre à table. Les cépages syrah, cabernet, merlot et petit verdot se sont magnifiquement unis. Les sols calcaires des vignobles prêtent au vin une minéralité marquée et la dimension boisée encadre le tableau dans une grande harmonie. Nous avons là du grand art viticole et le résultat d’une sélection rigoureuse. D’où le nom de la cuvée : 'Selectus'. Celle-ci est vinifiée uniquement dans les années où le vigneron est sûr de la qualité des raisins. Le millésime 2007 en fait partie !

The Bodega’s flagship is called Selectus: no 2006 was made but the 2007 Selectus was worth the wait. A blend of 30% Syrah, 20% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Petit Verdot, it was aged for 18 months in new French oak. Smoky oak, pencil lead, Asian spices, incense, lavender, and assorted black fruits lead to a suave, dense, succulent offering that features outstanding volume and a 45-second finish. Give it another 3-4 years of cellaring and drink it from 2014 to 2027.

Decanter

Beautifully aromatic, with lovely, lifted floral notes, fresh raspberry and cassis, then to a supple palate dressed with dark chocolate, red pepper and delicious pure fruit. Light on its feet but bursting with flavour!

A blend of the 2015 and 2016 vintages, the NV Côtes du Rhône S M checks in as the same equal parts Grenache and Syrah raised in tank and barrel. A huge nose of cassis, ground black pepper, garrigue, and olive tapenade gives way to a ripe, rounded, medium to full-bodied effort that has good acidity, building tannin, a seamless, light texture, and a great finish. It's a singular wine that has a big kiss of Northern Rhône Syrah with a touch of the rounded, sexy, opulent style of the south. It's going to drink nicely for a decade.

A blend of 50% Syrah from the Northern Rhône with 50% Grenache from the Southern Rhône, the NV Vin de France SM Second Edition is a fascinating wine, combining smoky, peppery, herbal notes with ripe black cherries. Full-bodied, plush and velvety, Vignon allows that it's "more 2016 than 2015" in style, but no matter how you characterize it, it's a lovely, complex wine.

This wine has seen several name changes (from Il Toro to RomiTòro and now Romitorio). The Castello Romitorio 2021 Romitorio is a hearty, full-bodied red blend with the muscle and power to mimic the beautiful Sandro Chia drawing of a raging bull on the front label. Fundamentally, this wine shows an all-Maremma spirit with rich concentration, big fruit weight and a whole range of savory and black fruit aromas. This wine is a delight to drink; it has a soft texture and is just raring to go straight out of the gate. This is one of Italy's ultimate value wines.

James Suckling

A fresh and crunchy red with dark cherries, currants, crushed flowers and a little bit of chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied. So lively and bright with textured, chalky tannins. Attractive juiciness with cherries and red spice undertones. Mineral and savory with some salinity at the end.

Falstaff

Dark ruby red. On the nose there are fruity notes of plum, blackberry, violets and light spices. The palate has a great texture, is fresh and juicy, very drinkable, slightly loose knit on the finish.
