Old world style from California central coast. The nose is redolent of Luxardo cherries and Antica Formula vermouth. On the palate, there is a battle between fruit and earth; deep, earthy forest flavors are offset by bright, tart spring cherries. Coastal botanicals play against wild fruit. Better than expected. — 10 years ago

Mixed berry fruits, hint of spice & even a slight pastry note; reminds me somewhat of baked blueberry pie. Florals notes provide some lift and in the palate it feels so pure and vibrant. A real joy to drink — 11 years ago

Like drinking wine from a blue/white Alpen stream thru a stone straw with bubbles!! Hooray! This is a wine that cheers the soul with purity, Vini estremi indeed. The label my favorite, complete with ice axe and rope, I love it!! — 11 years ago

Complex nose of earth, olives and red fruit . In the mouth a battle royale of flavors with none of them able to eliminate another. — 12 years ago

Good typicity. Dried cranberry, red currant, red plum, dried rose, violets, organic and inorganic earth, moderate level of VA, normal for the style. Bridge between modern and old style. Paired well with a debate concerning the carrying capacity of European vs African swallows, ascertaining the guilt of a witch, and a near-fatal battle with a bloodthirsty rabbit :) — 11 years ago
