oak, california style chardonnay, smooth on the end — 8 months ago
A fun New Years competition between Riva and Sizerrane. Both are winners. Though I’d say Riva had it by a nose. It was dense and deep. I loved the burnt caramel meat after two days in a decanter. The Siz was more elegant upfront and had a very long enjoyable finish that was haunting. Good stuff for 2023! — 2 years ago
Notes of pear and apple. It is light and refreshing. Slightly oaky. Has a bit of a sour after taste, while still being refreshing. — 8 months ago
This wine is medium dark garnet in color. The nose is full of brambly cherry and raspberry aromas laced with spice and oak. The palate is fruity and spicy with a generous supply of tannic grip. A long finish carries a bit of sweetness along after the sip. Great with a meat sauce pasta or with sweet Italian sausages. — 10 months ago

This wine is very lightly tinted, a mellow yellow-green hue. The nose shows plenty of minerals, housed in beautiful citrus notes - lime and tangerine, mainly. The plate is just as laden with minerals. There is a strong streak of salinity which runs through the sip and a very fresh acidity. The finish lingers with those lime notes hanging in there the longest. — 10 months ago
