One of my favorites for the backstory and value! Deep and bold, and paired nicely with the wild boar and duck. If you haven't tried this Howell Mtn. gem I suggest you do! — 8 years ago

First "Untitled" #woine I've had. Ain't none too bad. Only backstory privy to is the maker was just 14 years old, according what I was told. Really? Anyways, it's a decent #rkatsiteli with a deep nose that smells of #cheese #lees & decomposing #trees. interesting. #palate is rich, viscous & deep, with bright, sapid acidity & a long, biscuity finish. Fun #booze from #georgia. really loving the textures of this wine 😜❗️. Day two with the #rkatsiteli made by a teenaged #winemaker from #georgia (the country) Still lively as it was last night, showing more depth on palate, with heaps of crunch & electric acidity. nose has an echo of not unattractive #craftbeer yeastiness with a delicious "crackery" tune. yummy stuff for sure. must get more. #lastglass #amberwine #orangewine — 8 years ago

Delightful! Pretty unique, too. And if you like a good backstory (I certainly do), check out the winemaker, Filipa Pato. — 9 years ago

We love The Will as a wine and it's backstory. High ABV but does not interfere with the wine. — 10 years ago

Subtle, elegant, understated. Interesting backstory. Vineyard so steep that workers use climbing gear and helicopters for harvest. — 8 years ago

Backstory: Tasted this at the winery and loved it so much that we bought a bottle to take along with us to Mexico. Chad Melville is the owner and winemaker at Samsara. He's also the chief winegrower at Melville Winery.

Winemaking Process: Single vineyard wine with grapes harvested from the Cargasacchi vineyard, which is in the middle aka sweet spot of Santa Rital Hills. 75% whole cluster fermentation with native yeast. 50% in new French oak barrels for 22 months, followed by 12-month ageing in the bottle. Unfiltered.

Tasting Notes: Colour is ruby red with some clarity, no sediment. On the nose, it has blue fruit, cherry, cassis, cigar, asphalt, lambskin leather and pronounced earthy notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with full, mouth-filling texture. Red fruit notes appear first, and then the taste turns into an earthy, allspice notes, and finishes off with something so bright and refreshing that reminds us of orange peel. The tannins are soft. End palate is long, around 10 seconds, marked by minerality and cherry. I love this wine because unlike many Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara, it isn't over extracted and not too sweet (like fruit pastille). There's a fleeting burst of sweet red fruit flavour on the mid palate and the flavour quickly transits to earthy notes and tannins. It's a more earthy Pinot Noir but yet still elegant and ready to be consumed. At $55, I think it's well worth the price. — 8 years ago

Will the real Fiano please stand up? Fun backstory on this in that this "Fiano" from Puglia is actually a Minutolo. Color is almost like a skin contact white, but great acidity and minerality with lovely aromatics - reminds me of honeycomb — 9 years ago

If the world is my oyster, then Matalj Kremen Kamen is the pearl that I'm set out to extract. This wine is THE cult wine of Serbia. It's so hard to score a bottle; the entire process of extraction is documented on Facebook.com/ExoWineTravel, if you're interested to read the backstory.

Tasting Notes -
Medium bodied wine with brick red tone. Nose: Black fruit, plum, violet, tobacco, leather, and a hint of vanilla-flower perfumy smell. Sensational aroma that opens up gradually and elegantly, engulfing every part of my nose. Palate: To me, it has a faultless structure--the entire taste is driven by fruit flavours, from front to mid and end palate; sweet, chewy tannins kick in on mid palate and stay till the very end. Ripe plum, black fruit and black pepper mostly in the mouth, propelled by prominent minerality. End palate is extremely long--I stopped counting after 15 seconds--with round, spicy, sweet and powerful tannins.

Definitely one of the very best wines from Serbia. — 8 years ago
