Needs time to open up for the pyrazines to integrate but this is a very pretty North American Cab Franc. Certainly Loire-inspired. — 5 years ago

The 2016 vintage in Toscano created wines that are right up my alley and this bottle from Chianti Classico by Casa Emma was no exception. Abundant cherries, dried herbs, black tea, and dusty earth. So fresh and energetic! At this stage, the wine is quite tannic…super duper dry, and the finish is as long as the day. Obviously best with food but not necessary given the abundant character and generosity. What a beautiful Chianti Classico and a just a gorgeous wine in general. QPR is out of this world. — 5 years ago

This is an under $10 bottle at Trader Joe’s. And it shows up like it should be $40. Next time I’m at Trader Joe’s and they have this. I’m buying a case. It is way too good. (2024) — 9 months ago

Emma & Christian Sorine - Santenay vieilles vignes 2018.
Very nice nose of cherry, rose petals, hay, vanilla and tiny bit of oak. This is very subtle and nice. The palate is model of balance, strong acid backbone, very wide palate with cherry notes and a floral thing if that's even possible to taste, a teeny tiny touch of oak, a soft and delicate mouthfeel that shivers nicely in mid palate to the rhythm of the tannins. The finish is salivating with cherry, those nice oaky notes, a persisting tannins layer and a crisp, almost fresh everlasting note. This is truly a great effort. I didn't expect it to be on that level. — 5 years ago

Popped and poured; no formal notes. Served alongside our dinner of a simple pasta dish: spaghetti all’arrabbiata. The 2013 CC Riserva from Casa Emma is redolent of gorgeous black cherry, raspberries, bergamot, dried green herbs, espresso, a touch of leather and subtle spices. Stout structure with tannin still firm and acid ideal for food. Long, dry and sublime finish. Every time I drink these wines from Casa Emma, I fall deeper in love. Drink now through 2033+. — 3 years ago
