Floral, white peach, medium acidity, some chalk, and some briny/sea salt notes. Good value and interesting wine. — 2 days ago

Drinks well three years in. Pear and baking spices, plus some funkiness hit right away (another reviewer with a more discerning nose mentioned sourdough notes). White peach and minerals provide juiciness on the palate with a clean finish. Blooms into some tropical fruit but finishes with a clean lemon/slate mineral note. Beautiful. — 17 days ago

Bright cherry fruit, medium bodied, some earth, and structured tannin. Nice acid for food, more fruit forward than other chiantis I’ve tried. — 3 months ago

Well balanced, clean, and approachable. Apricot, lemon curd, some sea salt/briney notes . . . Acidity nicely balanced against stone fruits with a very clean finish. — 4 days ago

Blackberry and blueberry, softening tannins and plenty of dark red cherry, vanilla, and oak. Delightful with a Christmas ribeye and mashed potatoes. — a month ago

Honeysuckle, white peach, bright citrus (almost yuzu-esque), minerals, and more stone fruit to give it balance. Great value and intriguing. — 2 months ago

9.1

Fresh, intense, almost zingy lemon contrasts with minerals and earth, it’s a nice range of terroir to complement the zesty fruit. Additional interest comes from the lemon rind and bergamot notes. Paired beautifully with sushi. It plays with refinement vs exemplifying it, but in a way we found delightful for the occasion. — 3 months ago

Rather bright and acidic. It’s a 2022, so I imagine it could use more time. We tried this at a tasting and enjoyed that bottle, but it seems this one needs more time to integrate. — 23 days ago

8.8

Stone fruit, a bit of funk, Demi-sec with good acidity to balance the sweetness. I don’t get much from the nose but it’s quite flavorful on the palate. Effervescent with good body. Fun and unfussy — 3 months ago
