Quite nice but not really living up to its mystique. — 10 years ago

Very good wine. We had it with peach balsamic salad, and grilled chicken. The apple notes of the wine really complimented our meal. Definitely a keeper for an all around good white wine. — 9 years ago
Alta Piemonte is absolutely killing it. Mystique, unique. herbal earth like flows with dried flower tones that evoke salavation. Acid plus ,
Tannin plus... Real people drinking real piemonte wines. 2008 Gattinara. — 10 years ago

A very pleasant surprise. This is serious Syrah. Inviting nose of mystique Asian spices, brambly fruit, animal fur and a big blob of ink. After a sip my palate is coated by substantial tannines, soft and ripe, fine lines of acidity, a wonderful core of fresh black fruit, and an aftermath of garrigue and rocky minerality.

My fave. So so aromatic and delicious. — 11 years ago
Maybe it's the mystique of actually meeting Arnie at Markko but this is an incredible wine. Smooth on the tongue with a deep berry middle. Opens up nicely with some swirling. Visit his winery and you'll see! — 12 years ago

Love the mystique (of the name) and the nuance (of the wine). Curvaceous, layered, youthful but with longevity this is a bottle of vinous dynamite! — 9 years ago
