Red Wine Hand-Picked
Tasting Notes :Woodthorpe Cabernet/Merlot 2004 is a classic blend of Cabernet varieties and Merlot with a small amount of another Bordeaux variety, Petit Verdot, which provides a distinct currant and spice note to the wine. It is a wonderful accompaniment to all the savoury dishes that suit full flavoured, quality red wines and will continue to develop in bottle for 3-6 years from harvest.

90 Pts Wine Spectator <FONT color=red><STRONG>90 Points Wine Spectator, Smart Buy</STRONG></FONT><BR><FONT color=blue><STRONG>The Day Of The Super Abruzzi Is Here<BR>90 Point 2004 Talamonti Kudos From Banfi’s Winemaker</STRONG></FONT><BR>Did he say Super Abruzzi? That’s right. When Italy initiated its Agriturismo government subsidies in 1999 to support small farms and rural areas, the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo region was one of its greatest beneficiaries. The two dollars from the government for every one dollar privately invested has brought a host of money and winemaking talent to the DOC as international varieties such as Cab and Merlot have also been planted and grown over the last decade plus. A wine growing region for centuries, Abruzzo is vast, stretching from the Adriatic, ending at the Gran Sasso and Maiella mountain ranges. But the premier grape growing terroir is right along the central coast with its mild climate perfect for growing grapes for signature wine Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. It is there we found 2004 Cantine Talamonti Colline Pescaresi Kudos. 70% Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, 30% Merlot, intensely red-ruby in colour, its bouquet is one of ripe plums with hints of violets, coffee and vanilla. This full-bodied wine, delivers chocolate and berry flavours on palate with well-integrated, cashmere tannins and a long finish.and complex, layered and elegant. Silkiness is becoming part of the tasting notes as Wine Spectator’s 90 points said best after 2009. We find Kudos drinking superbly and cellaring for another eight years will only increase enjoyment, which is at a very high level now.<BR>Winemaker Lucio Matricardi is barely forty but has Italy’s Castello Banfi on his resume. His doctorate from University of California at Davis, the cradle of education for so many great winemakers, is in evidence with this beautiful blending of Montepulciano and Merlot. The lush ripeness Merlot provides is the perfect counter to the dark, fullness of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Talamonti’s vineyards sit 350 meters above sea level, planted in deep, calcareous, stony, well drained soils,located near the village of Loreto Aprutino, just a half-hour inland. This is an incredible level of quality and our price of $26.99 gives you access to an entirely new category of excellence. This wine is a statement for the entire region’s emerging to another level. The day of the Super Abruzzis has arrived.<BR><BR><B>Tasting Notes:</B> Ripe plums, with hints of violets, coffee and vanilla. Full-bodied, with fine, well-integrated tannins, chocolate and berry flavors and a long, tight finish. Best after 2009. The two varieties are hand harvested separately in early October for best ripening and vinified separately with 15-22 days of maceration. Subsequently the wines are individually aged in 300-litre French barriques from Troncais and Allier for 12 months. At this point the wines are blended and further aged for 12 months in 300 litre French barriques and 12 months of bottle rest follow. Drinkable today, Kudos will age well for the next 10 years. Perfect with red meats, game, and aged cheeses.
