Terlato Wines major brands

Bollinger Special Cuvee Champagne NV  LOTS of toasty, yeastiness. strong firm mousse.. made with 60% Chard

Tangley Oaks Merlot 2007... boring.. somewhat juicy and a little over the hill

Mazzoni Rosso Toscana 2007 12 months in oak barrel and needing a little me time... to settle down.. tannins are fine but showing the Italian stink


Pieve Santa Restituta Brunello de Montalcino Toscana 2005 wow  what a beautiful nose of saddle leather and roses and earth. great grip and acidity. and yet a soft elegant finish.

Ca,Marcanda Magari Toscana 2006... showing the nature of terroir this has the stink of an Italian Sangiovese but none in it... lots of dirt and not a lot of fruit.. hot on the finish.
