Exquisite - paired with duck, pork and even halibut. What a treat. Depth and red fruit notes. — 2 months ago

This wine does a little Pinot Noir act, medium ruby in the glass with earthy red fruit on the nose. The Sicilian grapes were grown on the slopes of Mt. Etna, and owner Michele Faro spoke during a Zoom gathering about his love of the volcanic soil. The nose also offers notes of coffee, sage and eucalyptus. The palate definitely shows the volcanic origin along with spice and pepper, plus a firm tannic structure. The sip finishes clean and savory. Very tasty. — 4 years ago

Sicilian red - really impressive, sporting some bottle age, this poured very dark ruby/inky - minor bricking at edge with a Sangiovese-esque nose (believe this is blend) of ripe to sour cherry w/sweet sweet Italian soil. Brambly & boisterous - loved the nose… lithe on palate, med(-) body w/decent acidity, tart cherry & earth, pepper, branches & stems. Quite a treat @$18 — 2 years ago

This wine has an interesting history. Please read the pro ratings. It was rather pricey and in my opinion - not great value for money. Yes, highly drinkable. Went well with faro, asparagus parm risotto and some filet tips. Everyone enjoyed. Somewhat fruit forward, somewhat juicy, deep red color - fine and everyone enjoyed it. However, you can definitely find something better at the price point that would satisfy and pair with food equally well if not better. Don’t mean to knock it - since I have 2 bottles remaining - but meh! — 2 years ago

Very refreshing siting by the pool at Capo Faro winery. Citrus, yeasty, and a candied aroma….perhaps butterscotch. Crisp on the palette with a nice acidity. — 3 years ago

Still has my vote for top quality for price Willamette Valley Pinot. Incredible texture and tension. Smells like old growth forest just the way I like my WV Pinots to (with a side of potpourri). Red fruit: cherry, plum, raspberry...maybe a little riper than in vintages past but not too ripe; exotic spices: cinnamon and a licorice/star anise note. Paired perfectly with umami-heavy meal: faro, shiitake mushroom and miso cod. Even better on the second night. — 5 years ago
