I generally don’t embrace this cuvée. Especially, at its price point. I’ll take Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, Billecart St. Nicolas and few others before Cristal. But this 13 out of magnum shows promise.

Excellent with the Prosciutto & Melon. — a day ago

Pleasant 100% Italian Cabernet that will take another 5 yr to flush out and develop more character. But smooth and elegant now. Add a point or two in 5-8 yrs. — 2 days ago

Served a bit warm today but still really nice Italian white.

Had it with the Kale Salad and I am not the biggest fan of kale and it was amazing. Had two. — 2 days ago

The young vine from their two vineyards. Generally, a wine they only sell to restaurants. The exception was in 2020 when they didn’t make a wine due to the fires. They offered back vintages to customers on their allocation list.

Pleasant and easy to drink you. Nice fruit for a 22. — a day ago

Elegant round with ample body, nice fruit will need more evolution. Appreciate their use of wood or less there of. — 2 days ago

One of the better 2022’s I’ve had. Beautiful fruit, showed some nice evolution for such a young Cabernet. There are good 22’s out there despite the early reviews. — a day ago

Opening night gala at Pebble Beach Food & Wine.

Beautiful Cabernet that had one of best spice growth on the palate I’ve had in memory. It ballooned over 30-40 seconds. Sensational.

Good pair with the Waygu Lettuce Wrap.

First time having this producer. Rose was good and not on the sweet end of scale. — 2 days ago
