This is great quaffable italian red. Perfect pizza wine. Nice round opulent fruit without being overblown. Enough tannin and acid to hold the package together. Buy again! — 3 months ago

9.4

This is extraordinary for a base pinot. Asparagus, prosciutto, and vegetal notes dominates the nose. The palate unfurls into a savoury tapestry of tannin, dark cherry and salami. This is long and complex and would improve with cellaring given the balance and tannic grip. Punching well above its weight. — 16 days ago

Completely translucent bright ruby. Shy nose. Notes of sour cherry, earth, and smoke on the palate. Light body, fine texture. High acid and fine tannin help add length. Very pure but not great p/q — 7 months ago
