Very pale greenich yellow, this blend of sauvignon blanc and semillon, seems well educated since spreding no odour at all. Soft on the palate, well balanced acidsead to a ver neutral taste without any inspiration. There ia a saying in our language 'being well behaved is not a gift'...well...sorry I payed good money for this... — 2 years ago
Price Quality balance is negativ. The 2016 is worth drinking, but don't expect to much. The flowery bouquet of the sauvignon can't be overwhelmed by the plenty of wood, because it isn't there. Mayby the effect of the prolonged layering, although it didn't taste oxydated. . Relatively flat in the mouth and the bitterness in the end isn't camouflaged well enough by the fruit of the semillon. Nevertheless it was a nice mediocre glass to enjoy with my portion of 'moules a la crème'. — 3 years ago
2017 in 2022 Oxydated. Due to age? — 2 years ago
Really a hit in the moderately alcoholised (13%) category. Brigtly clear red, seducing nose of ripe peaches (! really uncommon in red), devinly blended acids and tanins. Sticks to the gums for minutes at 9€ a bottle. Really unbeleavable. The perfect bottle! — 2 years ago

2014 in 2021.
Be carefull! Give it some air.
Opened it and tasted right away from the bottle. Nose remains closed even after 4 rounds of walsing. Clear, reflecting dark red color. Litteraly tasted like flat shit in the finale. This cuvee kept its pepperyness and round tanines, but remains silent and still as a corps should do according to its age. Got the impression my retailer just sold it to me right in time, and I was so stupid to wait drinking it for 2 years. Bye fruitiness. Blame on me. — 3 years ago
In contrast with my report on the 2015 vintage, the 2018 plays in a higher ranking. Hence remember, never rate a bodega on a single production year!
Bright red, delicious balsamico nose, wel concentrated in the mouth with respect to its correct 13,5% of alcohol. Smoked cherry in the mouth which lingers on during several minutes,, light bodied, ideal compagnain of high quality beef dishes. I want more.... — 2 years ago
It is true: relatively cheap, but so delicious. At 6€ really a bargain. Light yellow, ample nose of tropical fruit, really. Chardonnay dry without the bitterness of these 1000 other Chardonnay disasters on this category. A lot of pear. No wood, my god!! When you find an offer on whatever Santa Rita in whatever store, by 6 bottles and enjoy. You will never be disappointed. — 2 years ago
I write this comment tasting the dolcetto 2 days after opnening the bottle and preserved under vacuüm. It didn't loose any character. This contains an obvious quality factor. Medium bodied, sour cherries, short finish, discrete nose, I join the previous commentaries. Nothing spectacular, although fairly honest and very pleasing. — 3 years ago

Waw. Everytime you open a bottle you think, this is it. In the meanwhile this 2015 became aged. It's glance in the glas is tanned, it's odour only reflects his noble descendent, doesn't reveal his age and proves the freshness of sour cherries, which I adore so much in Italian viniculture. For some of us the acid shock when touching the tongue will be to much, though a warm blancket of soft ripened tannins will cover the trauma. This taste will linger on in the upper back of the palate for ages, hardly discribable, but offering continuous joy, a fluent of dopamine and oxytocine, so comforting. Consider yourself priviliged if you ever get the opportunity to try this piece of vinious art. — 2 years ago
