Matt Parish Special Bottling Rutherford Petit Verdot 2022
Petit Verdot is a unique varietal that is planted in small amounts throughout most of the great grape-growing regions of the world. A Bordeaux native it is valued for its rich purple color, lifted aromatics of violets, pomegranate, sweet berry fruit, and lively acidity. It is typically only used as a blender in small percentages with Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux-based reds because it can dominate, for me, it makes a very interesting stand-alone varietal wine.
Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto 2022
Tenuta San Guido is named after the saint, Guido della Gherardesca, who lived during the 11th century. It is located on the Tyrrhenian coast, in the Maremma area made famous by Italian Nobel prize winner Giosuè Carducci and it stretches for 13 km from the sea to the hills. The Sassicaia wine, the Razza Dormello-Olgiata thoroughbred stud farm and the Bird Sanctuary Padule di Bolgheri are the three defining aspects of the property. They divide the estate between the Padule on the coast, the horse training grounds on the plain, and the vineyards planted up to 350 meters on the hills. The latter have been given their own DOC, the DOC Bolgheri Sassicaia, the first, and so far, only case in Italy of a DOC contained in one estate.
