The 2021 Soave is a charmer. Vividly fruity, floral and wickedly fresh on the nose, it blends candied lime and salty minerals with sour melon, all driven by juicy acidity. A tropical flourish appears as this tapers off with lovely tension. Enjoy soon to take advantage of its zesty character. $15.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2023) — a year ago

I rarely get to taste aged Soave, but thanks to one of my favorite wine bars in SF, I had the opportunity tonight. Why don’t I drink this region more often? Broad, flowing acidity match juicy pear and other orchard flavors. A rounded stoniness further adds to the intrigue. What a pleasurable start to the weekend. — 6 years ago

Small red berries, black and white pepper, strawberry, hay, leather a bit too. Rather discreet but complex nose. The palate is a real treat. So long, so intense! A very strong acid backbone which makes for a dynamic mouthfeel. Strawberry and small red berries dance all around it. Some width and a smooth touch on the sides, a bit of tannins too to spice things up. There is something else in the texture like a layer of silk with a touch of tobacco, I don't know how to describe it otheewise. The finish is everlasting with the small red berries and a nice acid/bitter touch that make it very classy. It blends a grand Bourgogne touch with a dynamic and fruitful châteauneuf du pape distinction. What a wine! — 5 years ago

What I would call crisp. Dry white that goes down easy but refined enough to want to savor.A good bang for your buck! Perfect no matter what the temperature is outside aka perfect for a 60F February day, like today — 7 years ago

Superior intensity and full-bodied weight that will be more glamorous a year from now. Great acidity and always refreshing wine showing crisp apple, pear, lemon pith and smoky volcanic minerality that really settles on the tongue. Will definitely need to revisit this down the road — 8 years ago
