A fun yet serious Pinot Noir Tröcken Rose defined by its clarity, balance and freshness. Driven by a limestone backbone and high acidity, the fruit has crystal-clear flavors of strawberries, cherry skin and peach. SUPERB! — a month ago
A richer style than other vintages of Begali that I’ve tasted. Shows typical notes of dark cherry, tobacco, dark chocolate, earth and smoke. — 2 months ago
Dead on for Bandol. Best rose in California. Watermelon, grapefruit, stony mineral and peach flavors — 16 days ago
Very calm and cultured. Inviting flavors of red berries and cherries with good acidity and balance that continues to evolve with more air time. Firm, fine tannins of volcanic ash — 20 days ago
Very lush and driven by dark flavors and tones. The firm tannins display how well structured this Barbaresco is — 2 months ago
Elegant interpretation of floral ambiance, lemon, fresh pear, sea salt and minerals. Splendid wine for shellfish and white fish — 4 months ago
Rose petals and dried herbs with a big aroma of rich cherry and balsamic. Comes off very rich and a little boozy (vintage?), much more than Benanti. Some astringency too for a wine usually very well balanced. Still a hallmark producer for Etna wine. Maybe a little time to rest would do well — 19 days ago
This is one of the perfect wines to introduce those not in the know to German Riesling. From Nahe, this is a balance between acid, sweetness and minerality which creates an inspiring tension of the roundness of red apple, orange, lemon and lime and the sheer verve of stones and off-dry character. Brilliant! Highly recommended to make your friends fans of complex German Riesling — a month ago
Delicious light- bodied white that’s open and airy with a concentration of green apple, lime juice, pears and sea water with an inviting nose of yellow flowers. Simply delicious with a nice balance between round fruit and acidity — 4 months ago

Nice Rioja. Dried cherry and blackberry, tobacco, dark chocolate, cedar and a drying, stony, chalky mineral. — 11 days ago
