This vintage of Pieve Santa Restituta is delicious. To be more specific: the best word to describe it is the English "smooth". The Polish "smooth" does not reflect the nuances. π Tannins pleasantly tighten the tongue. The acidity is perfect for me. Fleeting fruitiness on the nose, but none on the palate. Back to the nose: spices and herbs, especially thyme, some tobacco. I love the dryness of this wine. β 23 days ago
Another amazing bottle. This is quite smooth and rounded at this point. Lots of mellowed fruit and the perfect amount of slight bite. Color is medium. Just gorgeous. β 25 days ago
Exceptional as always, this time with braised beef. β 6 days ago
This was excellent. Delicious, fruity, juicy, very smooth and drinkable, light tannins and not very earthy for a Pinot. β 9 days ago
Graphite and pencil lead. Deep purple/garnet. Took 5 hours of decanting to open up. β a month ago

The 2021 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard is laced with crushed red berry fruit. Spice, tobacco and mint are some of the notes that grace this expressive, nuanced Pinot. The 2021 was done with fully destemmed fruit, but there is a sense of savoriness here that is quite attractive. $25.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, November 2023) β 8 days ago
