Description

Stonyridge Larose Waiheke Island 2022Along with Te Mata Coleraine this is the best Cabernet blend from New Zealand from the beautiful Waiheke Island . The 2022 Larose is the final vintage in this four year vertical in front of me, and so far, each wine has expressed its own distinct personality, while still being absolutely of the same Larose DNA. Here, the 2022 offers vibrant red fruit, gently grainy finely milled tannin and a core of redcurrant, cassis, raspberry pip, a hint of nori

But the palate presents immediate clarity and poise

The Massolino team have shown their greater knowledge of this vineyard following each vintage

Near the slopes of Mount Etna are acres of blood orange trees

almost shale-y in its acid profile

which create even more shade and let the grapes ripe more slowly

this is a salty-piquant

“The 2015 Barolo Mosconi is deep

the Vietti 2017 Barolo Lazzarito draws its fruit from Serralunga d'Alba and reveals a luminous garnet color

a little blood orange in the mix

Even in the early going

after a short maceration of 48 hours

a musky perfume
