I only had a small taste, but I’ll take it! Smells of oak spice, marijuana, rose petal, pomegranate and forest floor... it smells like vosne. The palate is very elegant, with ripping acidity and a long finish. Gorgeous wine. — 8 years ago

The 2020 Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills) is fabulous. In fact, the appellation wine is my favorite Pinot in this range. The combination of the sites, and a bit less stem influence than the vineyard designates, works so well. There's a bit more fruit, more mid-palate sweetness and better balance overall, in my view. All the elements are so well put together. All of this fruit is from Machado and Hapgood. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, August 2022)

This was singing tonight after giving it a little air as the change was dramatic where it started off with a ripeness & full body note that opened up to a more classically styled Barolo that was structured showing a perfumed nose of tart cherry, spice box with menthol, dried herbs, tar & rose petal. I have had this wine many times & tonight this was the best btl that I have had of this. — 4 years ago

The 2019 Barbera d'Asti Tre Vigne is one of the hidden gems in Vietti’s stellar range. Crushed rocks, lavender, rose petal, mint, gravel and inky dark fruit all run through a racy, beautifully layered Barbera that will drink well right out of the gate. $20.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, December 2021) — 4 years ago

Tonight begins another weekend and we have to start it off right. I have heard so much about the Ruinart Rosé Champagne so I finally had to try it out. 55% Pinot Noir, 45%Chardonnay then there is 20-25% blended from the previous 2 years.

On the nose are loads of intense fresh red berries, ripe strawberries, fresh cherry, pomegranate, mint and rose petal floral notes.

On the palate is fresh effervescence of cherry, fresh strawberry, red currant, blood orange and lime.

This is a medium bodied wine with medium + acidity, clean, well blended and elegantly fresh. A beautiful enjoyable drinking champagne. Let's all have a great weekend and please be safe. Nostrovia! 🍾🍾🍾🍾 — 8 years ago
