Bierzo is a two-part wine producing region in Spain. Bierzo Alto
translates to high Bierzo, which reflects that mountains of the region. Wine
here is grown within the slopes. Bierzo Bajo means low Bierzo for the vast
plain of the area.

the earth in Bierzo for gold. The climate in Bierzo is largely due to the
nearby Atlantic Ocean. It is cooler in Bierzo than in Castilla y Leon, but
overall maintains an average temperature for the area. Local grapes produced in
Bierzo are Mencia and Garnacha, but also Dona Blanca, Godello, and Palomino.
Crianza wines from the region must be aged for two years, with six months in
oak barrels and Reserva wines must have twenty four months in bottle and 12
months in Oak barrells. The soil in Bierzo contains slate and granite,
which allows the vines grown here to produce mineral characters in the wine.
Bierzo also produces wine that has lower alcohol than other nearby regions.

Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore Catullo is made from 70% Corvina Veronese, 20% Corvinone, 10% Rondinella. Valpolicella Classica, Tenuta Novare Estate in Arbizzano di Negrar.
Wine of medium structure with elegant spicy notes of vanilla and chocolate accompanied by typical notes of cherry, sour cherry and white pepper. The palate offers the easy drinkability typical of Valpolicella and, at the same time, silky tannic structure and intense, prolonged aromatic persistence. The finish is fresh, soft and savory. A wine in the classic style, elegant, balanced, harmonious.
Review:
If I was forced to choose a number of wines that can steer the anachronistic Ripasso category into a brighter future, this would be among a very few. A mid-weighted, streamlined expression with just enough fruit on the bones. Think strawberries, lilacs, Asian plums, cloves and a hint of licorice. A noble, almost alpine bitterness lifts the finish. Brilliant. Drink or hold.

Silver Oak Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 76.61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18.13% Merlot, 2.56% Cabernet Franc, 2.32% Petit Verdot, 0.38% Malbec.
Expressive and lively on the nose, the 2019 Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has a black cherry and huckleberry aroma laced with dry floral notes. Integrated oak adds a light note of sweet nutmeg to this wine. Ruby in color, it has a fruit-forward entry with silky tannins that builds across the mid-palate and through a long and balanced finish. Structured while still approachable, this wine remains true to the signature Silver Oak winemaking style and will continue to improve through 2047 given proper cellaring conditions.
Review:
A beautifully compact wine that delivers complex and nuanced aromas of Bing cherry and black raspberry with tobacco, currant leaf, and cedarwood laced with dried sage. Cool raspberry, cherry, and blackberry fruit are perfectly represented, and the lengthy finish is crisp, lively, and energetic.
