As we are starting to get our 2004 Brunellos in we are very excited by what the vintage brought us. The season was close to perfect (they are actually saying that 2006 could be perfect) with just a little rain at the end of the season. As I got to taste our complete line-up about a month ago I was very impressed with how well they were drinking young. Don't get me wrong waiting is definitely the way to go with this vintage, as I think that a good 5-10 years will produce amazing wines while they mature in the bottle. As we look at the 06 and 07 vintages, the Rossos showed great fruit up-front and were great drinkers now. Canalicchio di Sopra and Castello Romitiorio's Rossos really shined, though I didn't get to taste Valdicava's or Friggiali's. These wines are just about to land here in Seattle so go find them. Need suggestions on where to pick them up - let me know. Benvenuto Brunello!!
