Skin-fermented old vine Pinot Grigio. Beautiful color that I would describe as a blood orange wine rather than an orange wine. Very interesting and enjoyable, but obviously showing very young at this point. According to Abe's notes, Steverjan is the Slovenian name for the village of Collio, the home of Radikon and Gravner. — 10 years ago

GW Gravner tasting 10/26/16. From a single amphora so a Riserva. Actually reddish in color. Again that distinctive nose that's short on flowers but high on stone fruits and minerals and that beeswax character. Palate is complex and high on acidic fruits and peels and stones. Long finish that peels in layer again. — 9 years ago

I was skeptical of a professor turned winemaker inspired by Jasko Gravner, but I was wrong. — 11 years ago

Drank fiorano with Josko Gravner himself, a legendary evening or what. — 10 years ago
Wow! Sweet, complex, and clearly young at 9 years old. This is why we swoon for Riesling. On an evening where we taste a host of high powered reds along with cult faves Joly and Gravner, this was the wine of the night for me. First bottle on the table to be emptied. Says it all right there. — 11 years ago
Superb. Not even slightly over the hill. — 11 years ago
Holy smokes. Tastes like old Burgundy. Smells like mouse shit. Incredibly delicious although getting a bit too old. Would not have guessed Sauvignon. — 12 years ago
