Luminous red. Aromas of flinty red berries, fresh herbs and broom on the enticing nose. Then richer and riper than the Pirrera, with a smoother, deeper personality and a more balanced approach to its fleshy and structured red fruit and herbal flavors. Finishes long and crisp.

Great nose. Herbaceous. A bit too much bell pepper on the palate. Maybe should've decanted a bit. — 8 years ago

Before James Suckling and The term "Super Tuscan" there was a producer making blends with French grapes for more than 300 years....this is a wine that will confound the haters, and hopefully reeducate them. — 11 years ago

It was as if Jesus Christ himself reached down into the soil on the slopes of Mt. Etna, stirred it around with his finger, and drew this out. Herbaceous, earthy, medium bodied, long finish, the tannic experience a great wine should have. — 12 years ago

Loire power couple Catherine and Pierre Breton have cab franc all dressed up. 2014 Les Perrieres is their prize - pretty now, will be beautiful in time.

Elegant and deep - traditional the way cab franc contributes to Bordeaux blends.

Old cedar and pencil shavings. Fresh raspberries and stewed plums and black cherries.

Concentrated perfectly - salty solution with a little grip. Plenty of time to mellow out. — 5 years ago

Extremely floral on the nose, intense red & blue fruit on the palate leading with cranberry right after opening, then blueberry, finishing with some earthiness and a slightly gritty texture leaving a finish on your palate reminding you the wine was there. Bottle really evolves after some decanting! — 7 years ago

Peaches & golden apples & chamomile tea & orange rind. An interesting and delicious wine that’s a good intro to skin fermented whites & to amphora aging. Texture is almost more interesting than flavors. — 8 years ago

8.9

Great color. Cool varietal. Excessive Brettiness upon opening that aired out over night, but other than that... great notes of burnt orange and honey. The palate was creamy with very balanced tannins. This is the only other orange wine that has reminded me a lot of La Stoppa’s Ageno, which is one of my all time favorites. — 9 years ago

Lives up to the hype.....tremendous energy with bright red fruit and a beam of minerality — 9 years ago

Smokey and complex. This is the epitome of nero d'avolo. This was my introduction to the COS Winery and I think it was a perfect one. — 10 years ago

Very interesting wine. Started out burnt rubber, then moved to gamy earthy, wet autumnal leaves. A bright fresh green note persisted. Light cherries throughout. — 12 years ago

Just love wines from the Etna region in Sicily, think junction between Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo, structured but medium weight on palate, long finish, it’s not a powerful wine, — 7 years ago

Wow. Love this Sardinian. The front is big and salty. My favorite with big flavored food. I have not decided on the end yet. This went down with an awesome grilled pork loin seasoned in prunes and Dijon mustard. Side was a very flavorful split pea and onion mash. — 11 years ago

9.0

Not filtered, wild yeast, no temp. control... All the things that make a wine unique - and it shows here with some wild acidity. There is a pleasant sourness here with some cranberry and strawberry balsamic note and then that crazy, sour tannin structure. — 11 years ago
