I hate to love trendy wines like this but honestly it’s very good. Maybe a little overpriced but it’s worth trying a bottle. A light red with solid tannins and a very smoky, tar like finish that doesn’t overpower the fruit. I would drink at slightly cooler than cellar temp but not chilled as you will be missing out on the clove and spice. — 20 days ago

Super fruit forward and aromatic but dry and a little earthy. Could be lightly chilled. Easy to drink. — 8 months ago

2015 was too soon to drink, but someone had opened it and here we are. Very very oaky but promising. I can’t really rate it properly: right now 8.0, maybe in a few years can be 9.0 or better. Food is a must. — 8 months ago

Was it intentional or by accident that the 2017 turned sparkling? Did the nuns intentionally try their hands at pet nat? For me it was fun for a night but I prefer previous vintages and their complexities. — 2 months ago

8.5 because of the price point—if it were $10 cheaper I would rate it at closer to 8.8/9. And the price is the only thing it has in common with any CA wine I’ve had. With 12.1% alc and a basket of fruit, it is easy to drink a little chilled and was great with cheeses and pasta. Drinks very clean (as I like) and if I was tasting blind CA would be the last place I would have guessed. Tastes very French to me. — 7 months ago

I’m almost disappointed at how good this wine is. I didn’t want to believe the hype. It takes a moment to open up and I suggest drinking it cool but not cold. When first opened right out of the fridge it was very dry, a little smokey. And then as it opens and as it warms a bit the layers reveal themselves. Wonderful fruit: strawberry, maybe sour apple, and as one reviewer noted, watermelon. All with that leathery smokey thing underneath. Love it. — 9 months ago

Pretty austere and tight. Must have with food: Osso buco Milanese was a good pairing and brought something more out of it. — 3 months ago

Had never heard of nascetta till I tried this one. Google it... interesting Piemonte story. An enjoyable white with light skin contact. Maybe a little past it’s prime but a great value at sushi note in LA. (Also maybe a little heavy for sushi but great with the appetizers) — 5 months ago

Citrus, subtle oak, saline... a brighter white burgundy. Super nice. — 8 months ago

Grippy and somewhat earthy, approaching my threshold for brett but stopping just shy. The bret is actually well integrated and doesn’t suffocate some complexities... dark, overripe fruit that’s revealed over time (sour cherry?). Could use a bit of time to open and was good with a flat iron steak 😬 — 9 months ago
