Final Etna Biaco of our Sicily trip. DOC Superiore lives up to its domain certification. Dry with minimality but richer flavors than others we tasted here. Maybe barrel aged. — 4 months ago
So cool! Black cherry, mint/herbs, bittersweet smoky chocolate, med+ acidity, med body, tart finish. Glad I got to try this rarity! — 5 years ago
This dark wine has a fruity nose of blackberry and plum, but there are some more savory notes as well. Black pepper, cigar box and black olive also come through. On the palate, licorice and plums are in the forefront of one of the fruitier flavor profiles I have tasted in Apulian Primitivos. The 16% alcohol is not as overpowering as I imagined it would be. The tannins are fairly forceful and the acidity is refreshing. This wine drinks really well and will pair nicely with a marbled rib eye steak. — 5 years ago
Deep purple in color with a reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, light vanilla, licorice, chocolates, black pepper and herbs.
Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and very fruity with blackberries, black currants, plums, cherries, cedar, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, herbs and licorice.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich, extracted and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel, complex and engaging.
This 8 year old Cabernet is starting to drink at its peak now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
Chewy, and a great sipping wine, that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in all new French oak barrels for 12 months.
14.9% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Very nice Primitivo from the Puglia/Salento region. Dark ruby color. Paires wonderfully with Southern Italian food, but will go well with a variety of foods. Drank November 2025 — 10 months ago
Went over to L&J's house and he just happened to have almost the same chianti as we had last night. But this vintage was fruitier and brighter than the 21. Or at least, fruitier and brighter than what was left of the 21 from last night. — 2 years ago

100% Verdeca. (Native Puglian white varietal that originated in Greece.) Bright straw gold color with a few green highlights. Aromas of tropical and stone fruits, wild herbs and white flowers. Flavors of peach, pineapple, mango and lime fruit with additional flavors of chalk and those wild herbs. Medium plus mineral based finish and medium body. Extremely vibrant (electric) acidity and intensely fruit forward. No sign of oak aging. Best with food. — 4 days ago
