Varietal de profundo rojo con tonalidades doradas que no anuncian un vino ligero. Tonos florales, tierra, vainilla y terroir intenso en nariz. Es un semi seco con tonos de vainilla y pera al paladar. Final largo en boca. — 9 years ago
Wow! Hard to believe this is a California wine. Major win for terroir here. Juice obviously coming from old vines that are respected completely in farming practice and transparent winemaking hands. Minerals are beautiful in this with a nice complexity and very well balanced fruit. Reminds me of cru Beaujolais and light terroir driven CdR blended. I feel privileged to have a few bottles and privileged to have this vision happening here in California! 👍🏼 — 9 years ago
Dei bei fruttini rossi danno il benvenuto al naso svelando il varietale del vitigno, poi il terroir viene fuori e piano piano prende il sopravvento ed il vino acquista una struttura importante pur non perdendo in bevibilita'. Buono

Dry leathery beauty, let it open a bit. — 6 years ago
A great example of why Brunellos are loved so much - great terroir and lingering aromas make this a beautiful wine to drink. Easily can be kept laying down for another 7-8 years. — 9 years ago

An amazingly complex blend showing both the terroir of this region while impressing on the recipient the able craftsmanship of this finely blended cab, merlot & can franc. Great acid and tannic blend that’s ready now and should hold up for a decade or more. One of the best wines I’ve enjoyed in years. — 5 years ago
Fantastic nose of horse shit, followed by a delicate balance of sage and tarragon. Beautiful day in the Priorat! — 6 years ago
Smoooooth. Ready now. The blend lends itself to immediate drinkability. Fruit forward with subtle hints of classic Tuscan terroir. Best with heavy pasta/meat dishes. — 6 years ago
Loved this wine. Very fruity on the open, let it sit for an hour or so and that mid-Napa terroir is amazing. Drinks like a wine al it's own.. — 9 years ago
Best wine I tasted — 9 years ago
2008 is early in this wine's optimal window. Drinking beautifully with years to go. Here's what I tasted: lavender, dark cherry, chocolate, and coffee. This wine has the best components of Bordeaux varietals combined with the place notes of Italian terroir. Food friendly with structure, what's not to like? — 9 years ago
