Probably one of the better varietal Sauvignon you will try. Wonderful craftsmanship from Alto Adige, the forgotten corner of Italian wine. Fermentation at high temperature, maturation in acacia wood with regular bottonage, not your normal SB recipe. Perfectly ripe fruit, a dash of herbs and a stroke of honey over a pronounced stone crushed minerality. With time in the glass the minerality becomes even more nuanced and new buttery notes appears. Great texture on the palate where the savory quality comes again and brings the fruit throughout a long finish. 2 hours in the decanter, 12°C and time in the glass makes it even stronger. — 7 days ago

Good quality wine, inviting and appealing, good balance, though somewhat fierce alcohol. A two dimensional complexity with a ripe, juicy strawberry foreground in front of a floral, spicy (and a hint of savoury) background. Very ripe, yet with a good presence and density. Somewhat simple and dilute finish, but overall a food performance considering the price. — 2 months ago

Do judge this book by its cover! far from your everyday Malbec. A very well crafted wine driven by a dense yet vibrant and transparent fruit profile that allows a tertiary and spicy complexity to shine through which follows lead throughout an intense palate with velvety tannins, a good fatigue and a qualitative finish. — 3 months ago

8.9

Impressive freshness considering the varietal and provenance, with a good energy, concentrated and lively primary fruit, backed by a floral move, followed by herbs and a stony, background. Good structure and energy throughout a balanced palate, defined and fine knitted tannins, ripe but fresh fruit with a savoury texture, marks its territory well, but falls a bit short on the finish. 8.9 — 12 days ago

Nothing less than outstanding. An unique combination of an unctuous density, a deep layered complexity but with a pronounced freshness, with a fresh and vigorous backbone running through the long lasting finish.
So wise and vigorous, an amontillado on LSD everything is just so much... elevated — 2 months ago

You’ll have to look far for a Napa Cab of this standard at the modest price of ye good ‘ol Frog’s Leap, which does not leave you wish for anything more. The ‘15 is showing a wonderfully ripe, dense and energetic fruit profile aligned with the well placed oak profile and trademark dusty graphite complexity. Round and ripe textured tannins with a nice grip is bringing the palate throughout a long, though not exceptional — 2 months ago

Super smart multi vintage blend from Fraser Mcckinely and his Sami Odi, #7 is dominated by 2017 and 2016 and goes down to 2012. Ancient vines (oldest established in 1912) in the hands of an artist gives this wine some serious tension. Not only unique in its composition, but a Barossa Syrah with a stunning presence and vibrant freshness, tucked in a generous but fresh primary fruit profile with a dynamic depth and floral lift lying above the savory background. A pulsing fatigue and a surprisingly fresh spine and velvety tannins is taking it throughout a long finish. Enchanting indeed! — 20 days ago

Youthful and unwinded at the moment, give it time, 3 hrs in the decanter or a day opened, and you’ll be rewarded as it opens up and reveal its developing and dense complexity with a foreground of crisp fresh fruit and a loaded background, full presence on the palate with a cut through acidity driving the long finish. — 2 months ago

2012: superb performance, caught at its peak of maturity with a great balance where the primary fruit lies on par with the defined tertiary characters. Good intensity on the palate, an evolving complexity on both nose and palate, — 3 months ago
