Looking for another Pinot Grigio and saw this with a great rating. Opened 2020 for sipping with friends in Texas and everyone complimented the wine. It is crisp, refreshing and aroma that suggests peach and melon with touch of honeysuckle as noted elsewhere. It will be a part of my collection for daily enjoyment! By the way, went well with grilled portobello and cheese sandwich. — 5 years ago

My true Lambrusco love - earthy (farty) crunchy red berries and pomegranate, super dry, juicy acid, great level of frizz. Woven cloth label is not to be ignored. This is such a killer food wine - muffaletta sandwich from Lucca for lunch and leftover Indian for dinner. Detecting an inkling of mouse at dinner so drink quickly. Shouldn’t be hard. — 7 years ago

What a delight! Herbaceous with hints of manure at first, then giving way to sweet and sour cherries. Fine acidity, drunk too young. Lord it went down quick — 7 years ago

Takes a while to open up - had it in a decanter for 30 min and it needed more than double that. But once it opened, my lord, was it good. Soft, supple approach, with raisin and molasses, and more of the fruit seeping through in a warm, spicy finish. — 8 years ago

Oh my lord. What an extremely balanced, smooth wine. The aroma/nose is perfect, youthful fruits and berries, oak; but the taste is where it's really at. Sublime, smooth, nothing prominent, nothing hidden, all of them sitting in a equal row, like an extremely high end pair of headphones, nearly clinical. High alcohol content, low viscosity, translucent ruby color, presence of gas. What an absolutely incredible wine -- and it's from California!!! — 8 years ago

2019 vintage. Last tasted 07.30.23 (9.5). Good lord. This is still (unsurprisingly) effing ridiculous. Explosive and giving without being compliant. Every time tasting this, attempt to renounce Cabernet Sauvignon/BDX blends forever. Hopefully someday, I'll make it stick. 02.28.25. — a year ago

Good at 55 degrees, but even better at 40! Nose of strawberries, brie, walnut, sourdough bread. Enters with small bubbles, crisp, acidity in check. Crisp red apple, strawberries, hint of young raspberry. Finishes with more rounded edges and creamier notes -- strawberry sorbet! I would have never guessed that this was an 06 Vintage Rose. I think this one has a whole LOT of life left in it and will keep all the other bottles in the back! Went insanely well with a pastrami sandwich with coleslaw and bacon! — 7 years ago

Thank you to my good friend Andy Bunch for bringing this beer to try tonight. A rare treat for sure. Took a while to open up, bit man, it’s hitting its stride a couple hours later with notes of semi sweet chocolate, espresso liquor, brownie batter, vanilla, toasted nuts and almond oil. A rich brew with a 15%+ ABV. Black as old motor oil and super mouth coating. Yum yum yum. — 8 years ago

If you can find this (and can afford to) BUY ALL OF THEM. Lighter than a red but more rich and complex than a rosé. Noticeable peach in aroma and taste. Perfect completely on its own. Paired beautifully with a caprese sandwich. — 8 years ago

2003 vintage. Just enuff acidity to lord over the proceedings. Initially, “cheesy.” That dissipates somewhat and gets very harmonious very quickly. Cleans up a bit on the finish. Should be able to glide hither and yon for another 5-7 years at this level. 1.10.24. — 2 years ago

Please dear lord let it open to its full goodness. So far not. But the rich potential is there. — 4 years ago

Good lord…I can’t even taste any alcohol. Amazing balance, not jammy, finishes smooth. — 5 years ago

Smells: Wood stove smoke, something nutty / red meat
Tastes: makes me think of a really good deli sandwich, good bread with a healthy portion of meaty-ness, — 6 years ago
