There's just something different about UNTI Syrah. I'm not sure if it is the terrior or if Dry Creek just spits out Killer Syrahs. Super abundant flavor profile. It's all over the place, Kalakaua Olives and salt. Nose was Port in onset and then mellowed out. — 6 months ago

Super cool wine from Mick and the Unti family. Nice dark bold fruit flavors with solid depth and grip to it. Tannins are on softer side which helps makes this more palatable than a true taurasi with no astringency.
Love the Italian grapes in Sonoma. — a month ago
A brilliant CalItal (yes, I said it) blend of Vermentino, Falanghina, Biancolella and Fiano from one of the kings of CalItal (Unti).
Fragrant (lemon ice, lemon verbena) and oh so refreshing (yellow flowers, fresh white melon). Delivers way more elegance and length than you’d expect from a simple porch wine.

Best in class Fiano, non-Unti division. Haven’t had an old white in a while and there’s something about the taste that just draws me in. This tastes old, in a good way. Dusty. Lemon zest and dried apricot. Full-bodied but still crisp. Straw color, higher ABV for sure. Tasting notes in collaboration with @Caroline Graham — 3 years ago
White fruit aromas w salinity and a touch of creaminess. Nice fruit on the palate w good acidity yet w depth. This wine is really friendly, from oysters to Thai food — 3 months ago
Got a chance to taste the new vintage and I am immediately in love. Lots of flavor, but it has that old world restraint. I would say probably six months to a year wit’ll be hitting its stride — 5 months ago
Out of Magnum, funky, earthy, deep with dark fruits, tanned leather and a long finish... Yum! — 3 years ago
This wine has beautiful balance with tart cherry, leather, tobacco and herbs. Soft integrated tannins give it some weight but don't overtake it. — 3 years ago

2011 vintage. Opened but not decanted. Not much in the nose and tasted vaguely Italian throughout. 75% Grenache, 25% Syrah. Restrained in both Grenache and Syrah tendencies. 11.15.23. — 25 days ago
