in line with the other reviews. An exceptional wine maker, doing everything from planting to pruning to winemaking. Very small production. Opened the bottle about an hour before consuming every last drop. Quite delicious. An exceptional example of Oregon Pinot Noir.  — 2 years ago
Incredibly consistent, 2018 notes fully apply. We love this wine, so fresh, so fun, so inexpensive via the Wine Club.
Nose has warmed green apple, lemon-lime seltzer, stainless steel and dry sandstone.
Palate has dried apple chips, frozen peach, tart green apple flesh with light sweetness and a dry finish.
Manually carbonated via soapstone bubbler in a pressure tank. — 5 years ago
Revisiting my dear friend 2016 Petruccino from Podere Forte and she’s drop dead gorgeous as always.
Very inviting at first with perfectly ripe round edged fruit profile but with plenty of energy, red and black cherries, licorice, opening up with dried spice, tobacco and its Tuscan gravelyness with time in the glass. Long act on the palate, driven by its fresh acidity and almost powdery tannins that walks the intense fruit profile across the palate. Remarkable integration of the 14.5% alcohol. So convincing already yet with structure for further — 6 years ago

2020 vintage. Big, darkly-fruited nose that rolls over to the flavors. Medium body. Great complexity for initial and mid-palates, Finish is where things drop off a cliff. Solid banger for the price. If only some of that impressive, frontal assault could be transferred to the back end, we'd be in clover. Nice, first-time BDX to get the palate rolling/draw people in tho. 3.15.24. — 2 years ago

Last nights comparison. Both were very much cherry driven fruit, but more acidic sour cherry in the 2013 at first while an almost cough drop deep cherry in the 2014. I found the 2013 had a more earthy nature while the 2014 seemed more rounded and had more deep fruit. — 5 years ago
Wow what a drop. If you have this drink it now. Insane and ready to go. — 6 years ago
An excellent food wine! Paired this '15 with Gordon Ramsay's bolognese sauce. Substituted bison for beef. Decanter's review is pretty spot on but I'm just a tad shy of their 9.0. Regardless, at $18 it's a very pleasing drop that elevates a red sauce pasta to another level. And, if you are into Barbera vintages...'15 was a bobby-dazzler. — 7 years ago

Good way to start the week! Drinking quite well. Very smooth, acidity starting to drop. — 5 years ago
Wow this is singing! What a nose. Gorgeous lemon inflected minerality. Hints of attractive spicey oak and stunning rocky minerality. Tree bark and herbs. So good. What a screaming mimi of a nose. Palate is rich and ripe but also nervy and tense. Amazing purity buttressed by that awesome Meursault richness. Lovely texture. Awesome mouthfeel and a lovely lemon drop lime zest finish. Wonderful. — 5 years ago
Last bottle of six, and is as brilliant today as it was six years ago. Must check out out a recent vintage. — 6 years ago
