Spicy and earthy. Great fruit and balance. Really coming together. — 6 months ago
Honeyed florals, candied ginger, fennel and crushed green apples form a spicy, inviting bouquet as the 2023 Etna Bianco opens in the glass. Ripe orchard fruit plays against a core of salty minerals and savory spices. The 2023 tapers off perfumed and long, leaving a pleasantly sour citrus tinge. $22.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2024) — 10 days ago
Terre di San Leonardo is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (40%), and Carmenere (10%), run by the Gonzaga family since its inception in 1724. Wine is fermented with ambient yeasts in concrete tanks and 20% is aged in French oak barrels. Ruby with aromas ripe red fruits and floral notes. On the palate flavors of rich plum and blackberry with herb, light spice and slight earthy notes. Medium+ finish, fine soft tannins, ending with fruit, floral and earthy mineral character. Tremendous value! — a month ago
Minerality is through the roof! A little stone fruit up front, then the finish is like drinking a rock. Great on its own, or with savory snacks. — 2 months ago

Medium ruby with quite narrow terracotta , garnet rim. Cut herbs , raspberry, dried red cherry , dried rose , slightly smoky note and a basalt , stony hint. On the palate quite rounded and ripe with some red focused sweet sous bois , raspberry coulis and dried herbs , anis , dried herbs . Alcohol does stick out a bit with medium quite rounded sweet tannin , with just balanced acidity . Reasonable anis , black tea and dried herb finish . This is at the end of its drinking window but still showing quite well . Drink now , and I would recommend serving at a relatively cool temperature — 5 days ago
