Opened for an hour before drinking. Really bright red fruit. Loved it. — a year 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. — 3 years ago
True to the tasting notes, very citrusy with a strong passion fruit flavor. A bit more tart than other more fruity New Zealand Whites. — 5 months ago

Needs time to open up for the pyrazines to integrate but this is a very pretty North American Cab Franc. Certainly Loire-inspired. — 4 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+. — 2 years ago

Really like Casa Emma. Such a versatile wine. Terrific with pasta and tomato- based sauce, as you’d expect. Great sipper with cheese and crackers, salami, sliced tomatoes.. intense mouth, cherry and stones, pipe tobacco on the nose. Tinge of sour. Love it. Haven’t had a drink in a week due to Covid, so I’ve got some ENTHUSIASM tonight! Bet this would be better in a few years. Alas..it was not to be… — 3 months ago
