Dear Wine Lovers,
I'm back and thanks a lot for your e-mails received during the summer break.
Yes, I've got a lot of “bullets in my gun", new product tasted, old “friends" and so on... but today I'm going to tell you about an exception for this blog.
I know, this is an Italian wines blog but I absolutely have to write about an incredible experience done a couple of weeks ago a lot of miles away from Italy.
Also this year I've had my U.S.A. reinvigorating-trip. You know, I'm a "US-addicted" and I go there every time I can. A lot of miles driven, a lot of amazing landscapes and a lot of special people met. I love American people, I love their pragmatism, their bravery, their power and their affability, oh yes, I love that country.
My last trip has been a very very lucky trip, especially during my "Napa Valley" week, when I've had the honour to meet two really rare people that I'll never forget, Jane and Kathryne.
Today I'm very happy to talk you about one of the best wine that I've never tasted in my life, only for that I'm doing an exception and I'm very glad to introduce you to (drum roll):
Napa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon by Wolf Family Vineyards
Oh my gosh, you can't imagine how many sensations are held captive in this wine, I can define it: "a dream in a bottle".
All the power of Cabernet Sauvignon has been emphasized by a long peaceful sleep in almost all new oak barrels. Amazing purple, brilliant and impenetrable red colour, explosive inkling of mature red fruit at the nose, mature Californian plum, home-made cherry jam and toasted spices. At the palate is really gorgeous, muscle, intense, warm and with an unforgettable long finish.
What kind of experience my wine-friends, I've tried this wine about ten days ago but now, while I'm writing this review I'm yet enjoying all the sensations of that tasting-date, it was a stunning wine encounter that I'll never forget.
This wine, and especially the people who are behind this wine, have enriched my life-journey and I'm really honoured to have met them.
God bless Sant' Helena :)
