Trentadue

This is really pretty winery, so much so that we thought it’d be a nice place for our niece to be married at. Trentadue usually has a nice staff, but it can be a bit hit and miss. Catch them on a slow day and you’ll have a good time. Catch them during barrel tasting weekend and it my be six deep to get to the tasting bar. (Note: They are smart enough to do their barrel tasting in an out-building. This is just what flows into their tasting room, afterwards.)

Trentadue also has some notable ports, here, but we didn’t taste them, today.

2006 Grenache Rose Montelago Vineyard: $15/$13/$15

Good, full flavor; well balanced.

Interesting finish; goes down like a cab, but finishes like a merlot. Raspberry on the finish.

2004 La Storia Meritage: $45/$34/$35

Coffee on the nose. Good structure. Blackberry, little prune on the palate.

Lots of acidity – it had been open for 2 days.

Black cherry on the nose. Doesn’t round out on the palate.
