Val di Neto IGT 2012, 14%. Bottle tasted in January 2015, made with Magliocco Canino grape from souther Italy.
Color: rich, deep purple.
Nose: cherries soaked in spirit, withered flowers, licorice, graphite and rosewood.
Taste: what a BIG wine! Rich, powerful, thick and "chewable", pleasant tannins, sweet and round.
A new favorite for me!
NOTE: I gave 5 stars to this wine not only because I loved it, but because the ratio quality / price is excellent! — 11 years ago
Scott Frank brings his playful spirit to his wines, a trait I totally dig. I love that he found this relatively old vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon planted early in Oregon wine revival history in kind of a wrong place for the grape, but the old vines have soldiered on and now supply this zesty, sea-spray, not big but utterly bodacious wine! Air Guitar rocks!! It's a great IDGAF testament that even weeds can give honey if we have the patience to be dazzled by the simplicity of being in the wrong place at the right time... — 10 years ago
A crisp refreshing fruity white wine ideal for summer drinking. This is a blend of moscatel, codega, and rabigato. Beautiful citrus undertones that pairs well with seafood, fish, and chicken. — 11 years ago

A well done wine with maybe a bit of little grip wild finish, a nice discovery, a pure and fresh wine - Karasì, is a tribute to the 6100 year wine tradition of Armenia and to its Areni Noir grape, which has created the authentic spirit of this wine. Its name is a reference to its long aging in traditional large, clay, amphorae (karasì being the Armenian translation “from amphora”). — 11 years ago
