Wendouree is no doubt an exceptional and consistent wine maker in recent years.

Having a 2014 Petite Sirah from Stag's Leap tonight. My Lord! This one has some serious oak in the front of it and less of a casiss burn than the 2013 did. A great value for a $35 bottle. I could almost make this a daily drinker and save quite a few $$$ :)

Simply...The Wine Thread
Flora Springs, Napa Valley
2013 Poggio Del Papa - 75% Sangiovese, 20% Syrah, 5% Merlot

The Sangiovese which dominates this Tuscan-style red blend is sourced from a vineyard in the southern end of Napa Valley where the cooler microclimate allows the grapes to maintain good structure and acidity. The other varieties in the blend – Syrah and Merlot – are from slightly warmer, mid-valley vineyards. This is a warm, juicy, fruit-forward wine with loads of upfront blueberry, ripe plum and black cherry laced with notes of cedar, spicy brown cardamom and vanilla. Aged primarily in large oak ovals, the wood influence stays in the background, but there is a pleasurable, mouth filling roundness to the palate that belies its time in the barrel. This is a delicious wine with relatively light tannins, a bright mid-palate and a long-lasting finish. It can easily be paired with vegetarian quiche or risotto as well as grilled meats and roasted or barbecued chicken.

Been following this thread! Do you guys buy these wines local or are you buying them online?

My passion is Italian wines, and my local selection is poor to say the least.

A combination of both.

I have great wine clubs near me and in Los Angeles. The stuff I can't source locally I go a few trusted sources online...

Good source for Italian wines are online retailers and auctions, especially if you live in an area that has limited access to them.
