A lusciously beautiful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon from multiple vintages; 2019, 2021 and 2022 produced light medley aromas of red fruits and spices. Rounded tannins, solid but not so punchy, and well-balanced on the mid-palate with silky texture and finish. Simply lovely! — 2 months ago

Nose presents baking spices and a touch of soft brown sugar. Palate is dense and layered, as usual for this producer (before the winery changed hands the first time around). Notes of coffee, tobacco and maple syrup come through on the mid palate. Nice tannin/acidity combination complete what is a classic BV presentation. Drink these within the 24 months. This winery has been on the slide ever since Ed Snyder and team departed. I tasted some of the 18’s and 19’s and they were a mere shadow of the previous product.

Medicinal nose, with hints rose petal, balsamic, fresh plum, and blackberry on a medium body. The palate is medium bodied, almost lighter, with the age not really showing, but a zippy acidity, with sandpaper dry tannins, but light sandpaper. — 7 months ago

On a night of historical importance I bought his wine at vino volo DTW. I enjoyed its elder sibling a few weeks back. Herbal and very enjoyable at the beach. — 2 months ago

Always like badly turned. A lot of apples, pears and some other elements on the nose. Somewhat the same on taste with a nice finish. — 3 months ago

100% Cortese grapes. Bright straw gold color. Aromas and flavors of golden delicious apple, lemon/lime, white flowers, hay and pineapple. A distinct steely (somewhat bitter) minerality on the medium-short finish. Soft textured and fresh with crisp, well balanced acidity. Refreshing. — 7 months ago

9.3

Savory, fruit and texture driven blend of Etna’s Carricante plus three other local grapes. It displays a clear and bright, light straw yellow appearance backed up by attractive high toned aromatics of citrus and white stone fruits.

On the palate, it is oak-free, medium bodied and nicely balanced with an ample supply of juicy acidity and perfumed fruit that gives the Bianco a long, satisfying finish. Overall, this is an elegant and flavorsome sip-and-savor wine that should appeal to just about anyone.

Good QPR. Probably better with a few years behind it, but very pleasant.. — 7 months ago
