Punchy, bodied amarone. Clocking in at 16.5% ABV with medium-high+ acidity. Leather and peppercorns on the nose, bright red cherries, more peppercorns, and a hint of cinnamon on the palate on a long tail. Very classic amarone style. Have no idea where I got this bottle from but it was a nice one to open for Father's Day! — 8 months ago
100% Malbec grown at an altitude of 1600 meters in volcanic soil. This is not your average run of the mill South American Malbec. This Chilean wine is richly blueish red in color that streaks the glass with its viscous 14.5 ABV, medium plus body.
The nose is floral, herbal, and spicy. On the palate the pepper leads, accompanied by fresh red fruit, wood and nuts. The tannins are smooth and the finish is long.
This wine is stellar and it is not done improving, as the oak notes will develop into tertiary flavors. I have more that I will save and comment on later. Vive Chile!!!

A nice wine for the price. Fruity on nose. Fruity also on taste with a little vanilla too which I really like. — 3 months ago
A lovely and bright nose -
Tempered honeysuckle -
This wine will straight up remind you of Pinot noir in many ways, yet also differs.
Light to medium bodied - bright cherry skin and fruit. Chompy fruit tannins mixed with sweet tart acidity , tons of saline and a fresh lip smack to bring up the end .
Dang, do I love this producer. — 7 months ago
Pleasantly floral and fresh, the 2021 Soave Classico opens with a blend of spring flowers, lime and melon. It's silky and round on the palate, slightly oily in texture, with crisp orchard fruits and juicy acidity to balance. The 2021 tapers off with a lovely inner sweetness contrasted by a tinge of saline minerals. (Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2023) — a year ago

Everything good meant by the song, “Tiny bubbles.” Hints of melon, lemon curd, and minerality waft out of a delicate effervescence. — 15 days ago
