Color of dense egg white. Nose of ripe tropical fruits, such as apple, pineapple, a bit mango and strawberry, a bit salty mineral, and a touch of honey note. Taste is a nice mix of acidity with sweetness, honey, citrus, grapefruit, and rind. Nice fruity dance. Aftertaste shows some more mango and a bit bubbly. Clean and tasty. — 8 months ago
Popped and poured; no formal notes. Served alongside our dinner of a simple pasta dish: spaghetti all’arrabbiata. The 2013 CC Riserva from Casa Emma is redolent of gorgeous black cherry, raspberries, bergamot, dried green herbs, espresso, a touch of leather and subtle spices. Stout structure with tannin still firm and acid ideal for food. Long, dry and sublime finish. Every time I drink these wines from Casa Emma, I fall deeper in love. Drink now through 2033+. — 2 years ago

Fine balance between fruity and earthy. — 4 months ago
Year in, year out, this private label (which, the last several years, bottles wine made by Casa Emma), is a terrific value in a high-performing weekday wine. This new iteration is dark-colored, and sports a nose of raspberry coulis, dark florals, a bit of gravel, and vanilla. In the mouth, it’s dry and has pretty good flavor concentration, with good acids and still some youthfully vigorous tannin to shed. Medium-length finish. Probably better in a year or so, but nice now too. — 2 years ago

Opened for an hour before drinking. Really bright red fruit. Loved it. — 7 months ago
I taste earthiness, and cherries. Good mouth feel and light tannins. I would definitely recommend this wine. — 2 years ago

Nose: so elegantly floral. So nebbiolo. Deep.
Palate: so silky. Elegant. Supple early season cherry. Still fresh but has integrates perfectly.
