Wears its age well, the 2015 drinking beautifully in 2026. Well integrated red fruit, does a cool and unexpected dance on your tongue on first sip. Love this winery even more than the wine. — 2 days ago

Fruity new world cab. The paper it’s wrapped in means nothing. The wine is good. Red fruits. Nice body. — 3 months ago

Does the job but glorified Sangiovese. Maybe turkey dinner wasn’t the right pairing but I wasn’t particularly impressed. — 4 months ago

Just straight forward, delivers exactly what you want it to be - but be mindful that there are far better expressions of this grape out of this winery. They’re just also far more costly. — 2 days ago

Nice little vinello, and stayed good for a few days, which I didn’t expect. Good value. — 2 months ago

Very green in flavour profile… and bottle colour. You can tell it’s moscato, but barely. A lot like a traminer. Had it with duck leg and it was perfect. — a month ago
