90+ wines in August

Here’s the list of wines that I’ve tasted this month and awarded 90 points or more to.

Eola-Amity Hills AVA "X Novo Vineyard"

Walter Scott Wines , Willamette Valley, Oregon

Chardonnay (100%)

"Intense lemon, white peach and jasmine on the nose, backed up by fragrant notes of pineapple and orange blossom. A touch of butter emerges with time . On the palate it is crisp, steely, with a shimmering streak of ripe citrus. Pleasant, full, weighty, with a mineral texture. There's a lovely mouthfeel, with faint touches of lees ageing in the background. Outstanding high acid wine full of depth, elegance and gravitas."

Aglianico del Taburno DOCG "Grave Mora"

Fontanavecchia , Campania, Italy

Aglianico (100%)

"Dark fruit notes, but fairly earhty. Herbal spices, and sweet vanilla scents adds complexity to a base of black cherry and bramble. Grippy palate, with prominant tannin and acidty. Good frame, with lean fruit. Complex finish. Top quality expression of Aglianico del Taburno. "

Terre Siciliane IGP "Firraru"

Feudo Maccari , Sicily, Italy

Grillo (100%)

"Very floral nose that pushes forth vanilla and brioche aromas to compliment distinctive lemon. Obvious barrel ageing on the nose, but it's restrained enough; the palate is full bodied with a plump, fatty texture. Mellow citrus, honeysuckle and vanilla. Still fresh and vibrant. Well made."
