Beautiful color, with red fruits and some herbal component. Appealing acidity and well balanced. A lovely food wine at a very fair price. The Mediterranean islands are making great stuff. — 11 years ago

Surprising. First thoughts #Mourvèdre + #garnacha + #mediterranean = big bold rustic wine. Nope! Totally the contrary, deep color but soft tannins floral aromas and blackberries. #Love it — 10 years ago
Soulful & graceful despite its 2013 youth. Lightly cloudy. Lavender, Mediterranean scrub bushes, red cherries. Serious personality. — 10 years ago
This was a white wine. It is mid-identified here. — 11 years ago
Scents of raisin, sumac, and alcohol, accented with date, fig, and raisin flavors. The high alcohol content makes it a bit hot to taste -- and sounds off-putting, but this wine works. Really well. The per bottle price at Zaytinya reflects a 3x markup, which is fair enough, but I'd buy this over and over again at $53 to have at home with a Mediterranean themed meal. — 9 years ago

2013 vintage. Crushed sea shells, saline, and mineral. Good acidity. Mediterranean Chablis? Paired great with roasted chicken and smoked salmon. — 11 years ago

Super clean nose with a hint of dainty white flower. Rush of lemon-lime and chalk immediately brightens up the mouth with a slightly effervescent zing, then a continuing waltz of elegant acid and minerals dances through the mid-palate, finishing with the trademark Etna ashiness and a touch of Mediterranean salinity. — 9 years ago
