Zibbibo! This stuff is incredible... Leather and apricot with sugared lemon zest and a round nutty finish. Gorgeous! — 10 years ago
Finding what I've been looking for in Carricante. It's got a marsanne/roussane-like nose with banana peel, the blossoms of some rich tropical fruit, and some sage or Cali bay leaf. The phenolic are nicely reigned in, and it has something of that weightless, rainwater characteristic that the Benanti Pietramarina has in such abundance. Little fruit on the palate, just texture, acid, and minerality. Faintly tannic finish. — 10 years ago

Ham, smoke, dried prunes, red/black cherries, Moio Alcantara peaches, jammy, honey, roses. Great balance. It's just a beautiful wine. — 9 years ago
