Light, not a ton of fragrance; such intense fruit- strawberry/ cherry. Really enjoyable light red. — 2 days ago

This is the “ San Teodoro” cuvée. 100% Nerello Mascalese. Light, fragrant, balanced. Interesting flavors of bright cherry and mineral. It’s hard to find nice, lighter reds, and I find myself frequently cooking things that call for a lighter red — 8 months ago

Leather, pepper, dried cherry, crushed herbs and flowers. Nice succulent mid-palate immediately gives way to long and brisk acid and mineral tones — 2 years ago

@S.S. Mandani really nailed this note: didn't hesitate grabbing an obscure southern French varietal from Redwood country in northern CA. there was a distinct genuineness to this wine, a juicy savory engaging mouthfeel, very cerebral & well made (11%!) - you can tell they just got out of the way and let the grapes shine... — a month ago

Nose: savory. Spice perfect lilacs. Violets. So perfect. Maybe a hint of age as it aerates.

Palate: perfect “sweet “ cherry fruit. Gorgeous silky licorice. Still fresh.

A truly magnificent wine.

Way too young - even with a 4 hour decant. But you can see this will be great. Actually with more air comes into balance. Really delicious and a perfect pairing with a Christmas strip roast. — 6 months ago

Gorgeous clear cherry on the nose. Round and opulent and so pretty. Spice, cinnamon, tar, tobacco, so clear and vivid. Palate is ripe, deep, powerful and very concentrated. Really this is a large scaled wine but still has an elegant yet intense structure. Red fruits all the way and a bit awkward initially and needs maybe 40 minutes to get there. Delicious stuff. Long finish and really high quality fruit that only comes from a top top vintage. — 4 years ago
