Tasting Notes:
“Lots of moving parts to this production. “York’s” is an unfamiliar mélange (Barbera, Primitivo and Dolcetto, all Gorge-grown) and shows considerable vintage influence. With the kind of wildness on the “nose” and its dark savor, the wine happily calls to mind the reds of certain off-the-beaten-path Italian wine regions. Always tangy and a bit tannic on the release (thanks, Primitivo), this should drink well with your gutsier tomato-based dishes (thanks, Barbera.) I’m thinking of something with a fine piece of lamb, or an undercurrent of porcini mushrooms, but we don’t hesitate to bring out a bottle with pizza.” ~ Brian McCormick, Winemaker (8/12/11)
