So happy with this wine: light, crisp, minerality . . . Delicious. And I can open it with my teeth! — 10 years ago
Very solid syrah. Dark fruits, spice, savory components. Surprisingly light on its feet! — 9 years ago
Been awhile since my last Vino Nobile-too many other regions, I guess. Nice savory tones, sour cherry, maybe a little thin? I need to brush up on on my VNdM! — 9 years ago
2007. Larger than expected-dark fruit, chocolate, leather, soft tannins. This is not your basic Abruzzi quaffer. Very nice. — 9 years ago
Solid Willamette PN for $20: bright acid, nice fruit, just lacking a little Pinot "funk." — 9 years ago
This is not the Dievole you remember! They've found their way back to really good Chianti Classico. — 9 years ago
Interesting wine, interesting story, interesting label. Closest I'll get to Pappy Van Winkle . . . . — 9 years ago

Redder (as opposed to purple) than I expected, which may be why I thought it was a bit lighter than I expected. Still, very good wine. NOT like most of the CA Grenache fruit bombs out there. 😊 — 9 years ago
