SANNINO PICK-UP 03 MARCH 2022
As part of
the 03 March pick-up run and tasting, we stopped at Sannino
Vineyard just
for a drive-by Pick-up of our March wine club selection. The March club (Cantina – Red) featured four
wines, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2019 Cabernet Franc, 2019 Prima Rossa, and
2019 Francesco (Figure 1). Unfortunately,
being pressed for time, we could not taste each wine, but Sannino provided a
reference card that provided a short note on what each wine was all about
(Figure 2). Of course, a more detailed
personal tasting note will follow later as we enjoy these wines.
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is an Estate grown North Fork AVA
wine that, using the past as a guide, should have good fruit of dark plums and
maybe black currents, all with some Herbaceous notes (think Green Bell
Peppers).
The 2019 Cabernet Franc follows in a fine line of prior
vintages, which opens with black cherry and sometimes Bramble, Herbaceous
notes, and a medium peppery finish.
The 2019 Prima Rosa is a red blend close to a Bordeaux
in nature but lighter and is presented as a table wine and meant to be drunk
young.
The 2019 Francesco is again a blend, but the balance is
very different while using the Bordeaux grapes.
In the past, this has been a fine light table wine that also can be a
fine sipping wine with close friends. So,
we are rounding up the friends to try it now.
Overall, a
selection with good potential to develop and enjoy over the next few
years. Also included in the March newsletter
was the announcement of a Sommelier Experience where one has the opportunity to sit
with the Sannino Sommelier, chat and explore Sannino wines paired with food and
good conversation. The Sommelier
Experience should be exciting and educational.
