A good Pisoni in my book as the alcohol is below 15 %AbV which I prefer. Showy fruit but good acidity to balance. — 6 days ago

Reminds me of the last one which I opened 2 years ago. Hasn’t changed much. Nose of red cherries, carnation, and tarragon. Palate shows black cherry and mocha with medium, softened tannins. 14.5% ABV. — 3 months ago

This has a nice ruby, transparent color and comes in at 14% ABV. Savory cherry fruit and some white pepper aromas with smooth tannins. Medium finish. On the lighter side and nicely balanced. — 3 months ago

Drinking well. A bit of fading fruit but a toasted herbaceous and forest floor now shines through. 14.5% ABV. — 2 months ago

This one is fermented and aged in concrete eggs and stainless steel which lends to a lean, mineral-driven palate. Green Apple and star fruit flavors with ample, palate cleansing acidity. 12.5% ABV — 3 months ago

Pure black cherry fruit complemented by earth and forest floor. A medium plus palate with great roundness without excessive richness at 13.5% ABV. This is a cooler climate site and definitely a favorite of mine. — 2 months ago

9.4

Strong floral aromas of jasmine and apple blossom are complemented by green apple and beeswax. A rich palate is balanced by taut acidity, this has a warm spiciness to complement the hints of vanilla and aromatic wood. Reminds me a bit of Puligny Montrachet. — 3 months ago

The winemaker describes this as having a hint of salty, ocean air which I completely agree with. Nose and palate have dense cherry and savory elements to complement the medium to full palate with dense tannins. Good acidity helps to balance throughout to lend to a lower ABV at 13.5%. — 3 months ago
