Young. Rust colored, incredibly fragrant. I expected the tannins to be bold, but they weren’t. Let’s see how it opens up, — a year ago

Wine is deep garnet. Smells like violet, decomposed bramble and slate. Immense aroma. Overwhelming. On the palate violet, cherry and strawberry. Elegant hermes leather and a touch of wet slate. Quite delicious. It wants to be a refined Sangiovese but it's more than that. Quite nice. — 4 years ago

Medium ruby color with a slight brick rim. Plentiful aromas of purple flowers, asphalt, must, menthol and dried dark fruit. Pallet is more dried red fruit driven along with notes of tobacco and black licorice. Quite acidic and a tannin structure that has mellowed with time. Intense but in great balance. Wonderful and interesting wine. Thank you for sharing, John B! — 3 years ago

This is some decadent sh!t: lemon curd, fresh pineapple, vanilla, lemon danish, angel food cake with lemon curd layers and buttercream frosting. Not sweet per se (saten is brut by definition) but ripe — 5 years ago

Such a rich white almost like drinking a red with only the right amount of aftertaste. Very drinkable but too easy. — 8 years ago

Here’s a cool one: Picotener is a sub-varietal of Nebbiolo that actually performs better than the average in more extreme conditions. This is an experimental wine and it’s a home run in my eyes. You can taste the youth on the vines, but when it picks up, I can totally see this being a new age version of my favourite grape for the future. Has a lot of the flavour characteristics that I love about Nebbiolo (roses, cigar box, cherry), but a more youthful fruitiness. Im a fan. Hope it catches on. — 5 years ago
