Absolutely recommend seeing out this wine. Seldom lay do I completely sign onto a producers style and regardless of vintage purchase the wines. This would be one of those productions #biodynamic — 10 years ago

Great Grenache, on the lighter side as you'd expect. — 11 years ago

Red berries and pepper on the nose. Thick bodied and a long, dry finish. Needs some time to decant. Great with spicy, salty food. — 12 years ago

Recommended by a friend at a NYE party. This vintage specifically. Just tried it...holy moly! Love this! 110 year old Zin mixed with Shirah. Dark berry flavor with a velvety finish. Must have again! — 11 years ago

Very pleasant boutique bottling from a superior vintage featuring a texture of black pepper, black tea, savory and dark cherry. Purchased for low $20s, this producer does small productions beside selling fruits to leading Mendocino producers. Low level of tannin would make this a an easy choice for by-the-glass and for many Pinot fans — 12 years ago

Very nice expression of Viognier.
Clean honey on the nose almost exclusively. Well balanced with nice mouth feel. Actually good with charcuterie — 11 years ago

#Franciacorta #Satèn #CasaCaterina
V.S.Q. Brut Crémant #BlancdeBlancs #1999
Bottle n•857/1000
#Disgorgement2010
One of the few companies in Franciacorta which boasts the #Guyot system. Very limited productions, bottles for sale no earlier than 10 years after harvest. Wines produced only when the vintages are considered "live".
Started to open after some time in the glass, oxidative layers, delicate mousse, shows up a medicinal background, good stuff.

Wonderfully light and fresh, but still with a good bit of stuffing. I liked how peppery this was, and the fruit was nicely high-toned. — 13 years ago
