Delightful! And really interesting (drinking by the glass) - mysterious hints of tropical fruit, then vanilla, a hint of (petrol?) - clear strong acids - not overpowering. Eating with a classic fennel-grapefruit salad. — 6 months ago
A perfect late summer rose matched with the ripened flavors of late summer fruit. A rustic touch and even with its unfiltered process, it has minerality in its background; it’s a refined and complex wine. — 8 months ago
Agree with @Chris MacLean : peppery. I’ve not had many wines like this, and loved the expansion of my experience. — 2 years ago
Deep translucent ruby. Salty, smoky nose with strong iron/blood notes. Medium bodied with very nice grip. Pure red fruit. Good length. Clean and fresh and juicy. Balanced. Not as good as Etna pt 1 but still, love this style — 5 years ago
