White Barbera! This was one of the "fantasy" wines announced by "Superman's Pal' and crowdfunded by us Naked Angels. The result is well worth it. A deep straw color with a ring of orange, this is not overly sweet like a white Zinfandel or white Grenache, but has around the amount of residual sugar one might expect from a Pinot Grigio or dry Riesling. The mouthfeel is slightly creamy with a pleasant orange-pomelo flavor, conveying just enough tartness to balance the sugar. While I enjoyed my first bottle as an afternoon cocktail wine, I am reserving my second
to pair with spicy Asian cuisine. Cheers to Mr. Olsen's "Super" fantasy! — 9 years ago
What an absolute treat to enjoy. I was told this was the last '06 bottle available when I added it to my wine shipment a while back. 10 years old and this wine is a stunner. Beautiful deep ruby red color with a halo-like lighter ring around the edges. Decanted an hour and a half before trying, and then revisited multiple times over the next hour and a half. The nose is a great bouquet of mixed fruits that don't overwhelm you, and the palate is velvet like tannins that have benefited from the aging. The restraint the fruit shows at 10 years is applause worthy. @Glenn Hugo, thank you for making a wonderful wine. We were all disappointed to see this wine come to an end tonight and wished it would of kept flowing. — 10 years ago

Luz family vacation, brought back the Premium too. Love David Monaghan review: "This is their Ronaldo.. It has it all, fun, flavour and aroma.. Boy [does] it have aroma.. It's that nice I tried to eat the bottle.. Lovely on its own.. I will put this in the box with me.. Bacchus we will bring the Portuguese royals out for a few cases of this.. We may even ring the Chileans to show them what wine actually is.." — 9 years ago

This is by far my favorite Riesling. Solid flavor, not at all acidic, and very smooth. This particular year was an award winner in Europe so good luck finding any bottles. — 9 years ago
smells like those cloyingly sweet ‘peach ring’ gummy candies you get at a gas station, with a crazy acidity and grip when you taste. — 10 years ago
2011 - This is not Malbec for the masses and will probably ring a little softer with the average diner, but it is beautiful! Higher elevation with more acidity and a more transparent infrastructure. — 10 years ago
Ruby ring on a dense body. Beautiful fruit on the nose. On the palate, ripe, flirty berries all over the place. Perfect wine to remember why you fell in love in the first place. — 10 years ago
