Super dry notes of woodiness, and acidic notes tart citrus, limoncello, and lemongrass on the nose. Very pale lemon color with medium-thin legs. Tastes more mellow than it smells, with white peaches n cream and Bosc pear on the palate, and hints of river stone, passion fruit, and gingery astringency lingering on the finish. Nicely balanced and polished with a subtle creamy quality. Great showing for a sauv blanc, probably would go good with white fish, crustaceans, escargot, and creamy Alfredo dishes. Great by itself :) — 4 years ago

I met winemaker David last year. A blend of 70% Pinot Nero and 30% Glera with 6 months of fining. Fresh fragrant fruit aromas with slight mousse and bubble flow. On the palate stone and berry fruit flavors on dryer crisp side, good balance between fruit and crispness, (I prefer a dry Prosecco) ending clean and elegant. A very nice Prosecco, one of the best I have tasted, worth the price. Tasting Sample. — 4 years ago

Light and dry but funky, almost yeasty tannins mixed with berries. Distinct old vine Chilean varietals that I would like to see more of. — 3 years ago

Nose has ripe plum, mashed blackberries, dark chocolate powder, strawberry jam on leather, molasses, molasses cookies, wet soil, nutmeg and vanilla bean.

Palate has blackberry compote, black cherry reduction, partially dried plum, wet baking spice, wet+dry leather, dark chocolate shavings, (light) oak/vanilla influence remains. Extended finish, really starting to pick up incredibly at 3-4H in the decanter.

Paired with Allen Bros. ribcap (USDA Prime version) tonight, unfortunately our grill has a 4ft. snow drift in front presently so the best I can muster was a super hot cast iron pan from the oven, then onto stove with lots of butter and in 7m total we had beef to die for...Which I had some competition for dining this evening.

This bottle was a very generous gift from my West Coast brother @David T from earlier in the year. My work travel schedule was hectic and never found a good time to settle in on a weekend with the wine or pairing, until now. (I've lost track of the amount of COVID tests I've done in the past 5M, but all have been negative 🙏 to date.) A fabulous gift to enjoy now that I'm hopefully relaxing for the next 2w...
Happy Holidays to everyone.🎄 — 4 years ago
