Gold hue. Aromas and flavors of apple, apricot, bell pepper, lemon, and petrol, with a hint of grass and creamy notes. Medium body with medium-plus acidity. Silky and rounded mouthfeel. Complex bouquet. Elegant and balanced, with a lasting finish. — 2 months ago
Oh…how I adore Elisabetta’s wines and getting to drink Granato with some age is a huge treat! Popped and poured; enjoyed over a two hour time period and it evolved very nicely in that time. The 2010 Granato pours a deep ruby with near opaque core. Medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of cassis, fresh sage, mild funk, granite rock and a soft expression of warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with good structure still. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and there is a drying sensation of almost licking a rock. As mentioned earlier, this opened up beautifully after about 30min and continued to shine. Admittedly, I don’t have a lot of data points on decade+ Teroldego so it’s hard to say for sure how long this could last however, when I consider that this is still developing and doesn’t show much in terms of secondary characteristics, I would say this still has a long life ahead. Drink now with a short decant or through 2030; possibly longer. — 5 months ago

Fantastic primitivo to be a companion for lunch every day. Not too strong as other primitivo exemplars, just just right 👌 — 4 months ago
Solid white, not a tad but I’d dryness to it on the finish, but initially very full and fruity. “Orchardy” is how our server described it and for some reason that hit. A touch of sweetness that I enjoyed, but not overly so. — 6 months ago
Amphora, skin contact Pinot Grigio from Foradori. What’s not to like. This is amped up Pinot Grigio, savory, a little tannic and delicious. — 2 months ago
Dark ruby color. Peppery smell. Floral, ripe red fruit. Nice acidity, but mostly silky smooth and juicy. Very drinkable by itself, and a flavor profile that I very much enjoy. Purchased from Vons. — 4 months ago

Always a fun puzzle to construct from its pieces. A no-bullshit white. — a month ago
